I have this idea: dig up old journal-style entries from other personal sources in your pre-blog past and post the "worthwhile" (open to interpretation, of course) material.  I have been keeping a record of events for several years now, especially since I got on the Franklin Planner kick.  (Theirs is called the "Daily Record of Events.") So, needless to say, I have at least a few thoughts scribbled on paper or logged in electronic form.  I may post some of those thoughts once I get them more organized.

But for now, I am declaring this technique to be "retro-blogging!"

If you use an email program capable of using rules to filter your messages (like MS Outlook), AND you use Yahoo! Mail's Bulk Mail (read "spam") feature, you can set up a rule that handles Yahoo! spam.

When Yahoo! Mail filters messages into your Bulk Mail folder, it adds a header to the message.  If you set up a rule that looks for special header text of "X-YahooFilteredBulk" you can route your Yahoo! Bulk Mail to your own local Bulk Mail folder.  At least, you know in advance it's probably spam, and it clears out your regular Inbox to some degree.
