In case you notice this "mystery"

My bad.
I planned to give up feeding this blog and read how to merge blogs together. 
So I'd have everything ever done on TAG blog all run together with my MoldBreaker blog.
Well, I was careless. And loaded a back up onto the top of this blog.
After about the first 10 entries, you can see the duplicate effect.
I hand deleted the duplicates on those first ten.
I'll give myself a project to get it all cleaned up one day.
Maybe about 100 deletes a day. 
Should be done in a year.
I could...
Delete this blog and then reload that XML file. 
But I'm not sure if I delete the blog, I don't delete all kinds of things I shouldn't delete. Permissions etc.
So, expect to see any old posts- twice, if you go surfing.

You broke the internet.

Yes. I will clean it up eventually. I love mindless tasks.

Ben!!

Don't let the TAG Blog die!

FABULOUS Kong drawing, El!

I found the KONG drawing. There was a twitter acct called 'lost drawings.' I have a file on my desktop stuffed with his posts. I'm not sure who the artist is.

It doesn't have to die. But it might get into a archive-like state.

I really need to research. There may be a quicker codey way to undo my idiot move.

I'm going to research and 'delete' one of my blogs. Then see if I can load it back with the xml file.

I've deleted 300 of my duplicates and it got me all the way back to 5-2015. Snce it shows 6000 + posts, there should be more like 3000.

Meaning I've already done 10 percent of the work getting it back to 'normal.' It is fun to look at all those headlines as a journaling experience.

Hi all.

Checking back on the blog for the first time in a long time. Guilty of ignoring the art side of my life for a long time now. No art to post.

School just ended for me. I took a class at Community College - "Playwriting for the Stage". I've been trying to work on my writing for the last year-and-a-half. As Marty knows, I previously took their Screenwriting course, and a "Study of Filmed Plays" course. I've loved all the classes and learned a lot. Next semester I'm taking a class in fiction writing.

Love the Kong drawing. You are hilarious Ellis. Duplicating, then deleting all those entries. I may have to go back and walk down memory lane with this blog as well.

It's all about the writing. Your strip writing is great. Draws you in and pays off. Share it. I'll read it.

I'll make a project of the final clean up on the blog today.

Dogged tedium has its rewards. I estimate it took about 4 hours to get the blog all tidied up again.

Of course it was fascinating. Lots of deaths were noted. Lot of fun art. Working backwards through time was actually uplifting. Shel dies, then later, Shel is getting better. That kind of effect. People are unemployed, then they are gaily promoting the company they work for.

I saved a lot of art. I may make a tumblr post later that I'll link to.
