I've switched over to the new beta Blogger, which is really nicer than the old Blogger. One of the best parts is that it now offers labels. Sort of like my previous "categories" links, except that you don't have to leave here to see all the post. I used a third party social bookmarking site in order to bring you categories. They still work, and I'm likely to keep using that feature. But, if you've noticed- I've also started using Bloggers "labels" feature.
Now, I have over 1100 posts. And I just started putting them in categories about 6 months ago. And the labels thing started a weeks ago. I hadn't really gotten around to going through all of them, because it's time consuming. And then yesterday, Blogger offered a new feature, where I could mass label my posts. I jumped at it without thinking.
This jumping without thinking has caused two problems. First, some posts are in the wrong categories. My plan didn't seem to be as well thought out as I had hoped. So, I'm sorry for that. Second, and more importantly- when I added the new categories, it kind of messed up my feed. I know, I had already messed my feed up and had promised not to do it again. In my defense- I didn't know that republishing everything would cause Feedburner to redo my feed with posts that are 9 months old.
The bright side of this is that some of that stuff is really good... and important enough that you might want to see it. The bad news is that I intended people to see old posts because they wanted to, not because I screwed up the feed delivery.
So, now... you have my absolute promise that I A)will no longer mess with the feed and B)will no longer republish 1100 posts just because I want to have Blogger Labels.
Sorry. Again.
(quick distraction in order to change the subject and make you forget that I screwed up will be inserted below, please fall for this as if we were face to face, and I quickly pointed at something and yelled "eww LOOK AT THAT!" and then ran away while you were looking)
LOOK AT THIS!
All kidding aside, that is a link that everyone should read. I promise that it's worth your time. Home Sweet Home has a wonderful post up on domestic violence, and seeing as it is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, you should be reading her site daily.

Domestic Violence relationships tend to follow somewhat of a pattern, at least in the earlier stages. The relationship will go through cycles lasting maybe hours, days, months or even years.
