An Opinion Poll-please help

I need your opinion---
I would like all of you to comment on whether I should -
1-continue to post 'When Grandma Was A Little Girl... on a biweekly basis
- or -
2-click on a link and read them from there.

Please answer.
-----

I have put together a list of 60 topics so far to write about. I am only on story #16. I thought maybe it might be easier to just click on a link from my blog page and go to the source to read whenever you felt like it. Then Lisa mentioned she likes reading them on the blog and she can copy them and save them if she wants. She thought I should blog and ask your opinion.

Love ya!
Mom :o)

I think just keep blogging them. And since I'm bi-challenged, I don't know if you meant bi-weekly as in twice a week or twice a month. I was always under the impression that bi-weekly was every two weeks. However, you've been posting much more often so I was confused. I think once a week is fine or every two weeks if that is what you meant. Does this help? :0)

What happened to your "Favorite Things" post? It's on my bloglines but not on your blog. Did you take it off? I didn't get the full story and I want to know how it ends!

So I guess we were both right. Here's why, in case you care. I learned something though!

Wikipedia: Bi-weekly, sometimes referred to as fortnightly, is a reference to an event that occurs once every two weeks. A two week interval is equivalent to one fortnight. An example of a biweekly event would be the production of some magazines or the payday of some companies.

fort·night·ly [fawrt-nahyt-lee]adjective, adverb, noun, plural. –adjective 1.occurring or appearing once a fortnight. –adverb 2.once a fortnight. –noun 3.a periodical issued every two weeks.

There are fifty-two weeks in a year of twelve months, making for a possible 26 biweekly events in a year. This is a greater number than if such events were held twice a month, due to the fact that most months have more than four weeks (28 days). However, biweekly is often thought of incorrectly as twice a month. Twice a month is called "semimonthly," not biweekly.

According to Webster's dictionary, Bi-weekly can also be a reference to an event that occurs twice per week. Given the ambiguity and unscientific nature of this denotation, some authorities recommend avoiding the term where precision is required.
