Question About Editing Posts

This mostly has to do with my blog, but is it better to edit a post or add another post? I guess I mean does it add to anybody's work here if I add stuff merely by editing to keep clutter down? Especially if I add stuff throughout the day to my blog.

Thanks!

Remember though, people don't see a new post notification if you edit your post. For example, you make a post once in the day and edit it 4 times (several hours apart). If I see that post before any edits, VBulletin won't tell me that there is any new content after you edit.

Indeed. I'm all for new posts. I even get my posts merged sometimes because I make too many new ones.

As far as mods go, I might be the only one that frequently merges posts. Typically I do this stuff in the gear forums and in GD where for the most part multi-posts are all one-liners. I really feel like it cuts down on clutter and really streamlines the threads.

As far as blogs go, I think it's totally fine to post in whatever manner you feel like posting.
