Editing a Blog Post

Is it O.K. to edit blog posts? Especially if someone has already commented on it?
Do you edit your blog posts?

Sure.

I edit posts when I spot a spelling or grammatical error or something similar.

If I add something to clarify or extend the original post, I'll do that with the preface "Update" or something similar.

I edit my blog posts when I see a spelling or grammatical error on my article.
And I think there is no effect if you edit but don't edit entirely the blog posts or the title.

I also edit only when spelling and grammar is concerned. In case if someone has commented and then you want to edit, i'll recommend to mention the edited part.

I'll edit for anything that I think needs to be changed. Add some information, fix a link, whatever.

The key is do you tell your reader(s) about it. If I just messed something up and I go back to fix it really soon after the initial post, I just fix it and hope nobody caught my mistake.

I often find my grammatical error after publishing my post only I go for editing thereafter and even sometime add more points but avoid changing the title.

I have only editted my blog posts to fix links, grammatical errors or bad sentences. No need to notify my readers about one of those quick fixes

It's OK. As a matter of fact, my friend even edits comments if she finds spelling errors or other small mistakes. I think this is OK too, because it makes the less experienced commentators, or those who leave a comment in a rush, look good.
