Confession of a Side Panel Hopper

Some old ruin

Confession of a side panel hopper is just me stating that when few Lotters have new posts, I find myself right-hand-side panel hopping from old post to even older post. I page through the archives. Each post chosen takes me to another page, where I choose off the side panel another older post written by someone I choose to follow. I go on and on like that for ages or until none of my followers are on such panel . . . .that is the panel that reads " you might Also like" I know I have mentioned before that I have read from this feature, but tonight it has been fun. Call back the past, so if you get comments on oldies, this is what I am doing. Nothing is lost. Good evening to you all. My own photo of an archway ruin in Kusadasi

I've come across some gems in that side panel. Sometimes the oldies are the goodies!

Some are also total rubbish . . . Can I tell them that or would that be a little too brazen of me?

Interesting but not sure if that is a good use of time?

@Inlemay As long as there is some interaction after making the effort I guess it makes sense.

@Bluedoll I choose those with relevant tags - so things that would interest me

@Inlemay that's all I get half of the time, and it's sad, cause whatever it was looked interesting!

It was all just too fast to absorb everything, the beauty that is, so glad we took thousands of photos

I've done that a couple times, not often.

O never bother with the side panel, but have been known to scroll back to old posts from 7 or 8 years ago.

I read, maybe like but not check if follower is current before in response. Hello Barry, back from Turkey yet? Or still basking like a Turkey

I will go to the old posts once in a while but mostly I check on the followers and the new discussions.

I always have a look at the right side panel because I have found very interesting old discussions to read.

This is a great idea. I do it sometimes but it is the sensible thing to do when you run out of stuff to read. I must remember to do it more often.

I do it only once a month, normally on a Friday evening or Saturday when the bloggers are slow to write

I love that old posts are showcased this way. I've found some real treasures mining through the 'you might also like'.....

I am glad people agree that the feature is still a useful one and that we all read some of the older stuff
