Let’s Refresh This Really OLD Post Shall We?

Updating my blog’s SEO now ranks right up there with cleaning behind the fridge. Necessary. Honorable. Mildly traumatizing. 7865 posts to go through. The Head Peanut is NOT amused. What started as a “quick refresh” turned into a full-blown excavation. I opened a five-year-old (plus) post and found:
  • Half the images missing.
  • Links leading to businesses that now exist only in legend.
  • A font choice clearly made during a caffeine-fueled identity crisis.
Welcome to the glamorous life. Somewhere in the depths of my site lives The Ghost of PBnWhine Past. It floats through old posts, deleting photos like a Victorian librarian with a vendetta. “Oh, you needed those step-by-step craft photos?” Gone. “That beautifully staged product review?” Into the abyss. Now the tutorials read like this: Step 1: Do the thing Step 2: [image missing] Step 3: Just believe in yourself Extremely helpful. Gold star content. And the links? Nothing builds character like clicking a reference and landing on: Error 404: This business has retired to Florida. Apparently half the brands I worked with have closed, rebranded, or reemerged as something called “Crypto Spoon AI Wellness Collective.” Time is a fever dream. So here I am, playing archaeologist with Wi-Fi. Replacing images. Fixing links. Adding keywords. Gently whispering to Google, “Notice me. I bring snacks.” It’s not glamorous, but it makes the blog faster, cleaner, and easier to find. Which means more crafts, more reviews, more giveaways — and fewer digital tumbleweeds. Speaking of treasures… While you’re visiting, check the sidebar for the current giveaway: 👉 https://peanutbutterandwhine.com Because nothing complements freshly polished SEO like free stuff. And if you love a good find, Freebie Flow is basically a treasure chest of freebies and seriously discounted goodies. Use code PBNWhine10OFF for 10% off: 👉 https://freebieflow.com Also, if you’re not using Rakuten yet, what are we even doing? Getting paid to shop feels delightfully rebellious — like dessert first, but fiscally responsible: 👉 https://www.rakuten.com So if you catch me muttering at my laptop, swatting invisible ghosts with a broom made of metadata, don’t worry. I’m not spiraling. I’m optimizing. Which, in blogger terms, means battling digital poltergeists, resurrecting broken links, and shamelessly courting search engines with fresh content. Completely normal.

    Haha, these are hard questions. I rarely have favorites. I’ll just through out some ones I deal with in my life with my grandsons and in my past career. Song: The Itsy Bitsy Spider by Little Richard… Book: Mucky Moose… and the last one is easy… YOU YOU YOU!!!

    I think right now my favorite song would be Happy by Pharrell Williams. I know it is simple but isn’t that what is really important. Simply being happy! I know it sounds corny but that song really helped me out of a real depression I was in.
