  1. Hi Babanature,

    Informative post indeed 🙂

    Yes, as bloggers we need to revive our old post and look forward to plugins to help us do the same. I did try most of the ones you mentioned, but somehow the sharing options were overlapping, so removed it. Have to check out Hypesocial – buffer from this list, so thanks for letting us know.

    Thanks for sharing. Happy Easter weekend as well 🙂

  5. Hmm… The plugins mentioned are not applicable to my site since I’m using Blogger. Nevertheless, this post reminded me that there are tools that I can use to make the sharing of my old posts easier. I’m actually sharing my old blog posts manually and it is quite a hassle. Just gonna find Blogger plugins. Thank you for sharing this post. 😀
