I expect it will change over time, but this is it as of Summer 2026!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I already had the Road Trip blog and the old Health Blog and when I settled into  the old folks home, this became part of a project to capture my memories while I could still remember them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a few months I decided some were ready for prime time, so I needed a <strong>process<\/strong>!  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a post is deemed &#8220;ready&#8221;, I add it to an extra category I created called &#8220;exportme&#8221;.  There&#8217;s a standard WordPress filter on the Export function to export all posts in a category, so there you go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After I&#8217;ve imported them to the server I remove the <em>exportme<\/em> category from each post, and I&#8217;m in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back on the laptop I remove the <em>exportme<\/em> category from each also, and while I&#8217;m there, set each post to <strong>Private<\/strong> so they won&#8217;t clutter up my listings, and to remind me that these posts are &#8220;dead&#8221; over here, the only version that matters is on the server.  I really should delete them, but I just can&#8217;t make myself do it! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do my best not to use them in links until they are on the server, in case WordPress changes the post ID on the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the nine Categories that&#8217;s just a study in <em>feature creep<\/em>.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thoughts about thoughts Thoughts is the most unruly and least orderly of the categories here.
