Tololy's Box

Sorry to hear blogger Hadeel died though never read her. When a blogger dies I think it is the least of his/her worries what happen to the blog thereafter and before the fact this may not be part of the put your house in order priorities if even one knows he /she is going to die. Good question and never thouht about it, I have a well known blog about financials and stocks trading and politics in a well known site in U.S., actually the top blog of the site with 2000+ reads a day-( sorry for being bombastic but can’t give the name of the blog here for privacy reasons on both sites)- and never cared or even thought what happens to the blog when I kick the bucket.

I have a post in mind to keep as a draft in case I die, a way to say goodbye to readers and leave my most important thought at the time as a memory.
 
 
 

Kinzi,
That’s the easy part of it. The The problem is how are you gonna post it after you pass away! Except of course if somebody else has access to one’s account and knows about the existence of such a post, which is no the case for many I guess.
Another way to do it is to schedule this post to be auto-published say in a week, and as long as you’re alive keep postponing it
 

Or Tol, give me ur phone number, i’ll keep checking on u

ooops sorry almost forgot, Hadeel R.I.P.

It is uncharted waters after one die, I will bet the farm one will have more things to worry about after death. As one who believes in after life I would initially worry about Nakir wa Nakeer and their 70 yards ground piercing punch. What a dark thoughts Tololy evoked this early Monday morning?

Most probably the readers would know through comments added by people who know the blogger personally. There must be someone who knows the blogger in person and visits his blog….
And what happens to the blog?! Typically, it should stay there until google (or whatever service they use) kick em out!

This is one of the saddest things I’ve ever witnessed online. The way people interacted, the grim updates from her father, the whole tragedy was nerve wrecking.
انّا لله و انّا اليه راجعون

Ahmed (BlogIraq), who was killed recently, had an arrangement with a friend:
When I first setup this blog for him, he gave me the admin password of his blog and I gave him the password of mine. We agreed that whoever dies first, the other should write about it in his blog. Its just my bad luck that he died first.
May his soul, and Hadeel’s, rest in peace.

Sorry, read that Munhar wa Nakeer.
Bint battuta, sorry about Ahmed. It is not yr bad luck, yr number has not been called yet hopefully you will have a long wait.

A.Rehman, I’m not the friend, I was just quoting what his friend (Mohammed Alani) wrote on Ahmed’s blog. Apologies for not mentioning his name before.

Sorrry misunderstood, blame it on this text editor, can hardly read the fine print and can not resize.

Tololy, there’s a wordpress plugin that will automatically post your final entry if you don’t let it know you’re safe on a set period of time.
I hope you never need it.

It was a real tragedy, especially following the feedback and comments on her blg. Here is a moving article published in a mainstream Saudi newspaper
