Best Results Organizing

Dear Paper Doll readers:

Thank you so much for your loyalty and patience as we’ve been striving to create this new home for the Paper Doll blog after the unexpected closure of OnlineOrganizing.com. Your support as new posts have launched is so gratifying — comments, emails, and even a few phone calls have provided a delightful re-entry after too many weeks away from blogging.

As you know, we’ve been carefully nurturing all of those gently-used classic posts, keeping them from inclement weather and nibbling creatures, safe in the vault, guarded by Paper Mommy, George Clooney and a representative selling Coffee Crisp candy bars. But now it’s time to blast the doors off this baby!

As of this week, almost the entire 5 1/2 year archive of Paper Doll posts has been resurrected — and they’re all ready for you to peruse. The search engine spiders are still in the process of indexing those posts at their new homes, so it might be a bit before you can Google something specific, but an on-site search box for finding specific tags is in the works.

A few caveats: Because all of the links referencing old OnlineOrganizing.com URLs (that is, links from one old post harkening back to an even older post) are linked to a black hole, it’s going to be necessary to manually re-do any pre-2013 internal links. That will roll out over time. (Of course, if you’re looking for something to do over the holiday weekend, you could just reread the entire archive for kicks! You’ll feel so much more organized!)

Occasionally on the really old posts, fonts may suddenly shrink or grow. If you see something completely wacky, please send me feedback. I want the blog to be quirky, but in a Zooey Deschanel manner, not in an Urkle kind of way.

Also, our IT team wasn’t able to transfer individual comments on old posts. Again, we may be able to manually enter them, but it’s not going to happen overnight. If you once made a brilliant comment about the content of a post, here’s your chance to share your genius anew! Comment! Reply! Opine!

Please feel free to share these “classic” Paper Doll posts on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and wherever else you tell people about funny cat videos and what you had for lunch…and, y’know, how to save time and money, reduce your stress and increase your productivity through organizing your paper and your life.

Love,

Paper Doll
