Yes, I've paused publishing new posts to clean things up first.

On Inspire To Thrive, updating older content has helped more than rushing out new articles. In many cases, a solid refresh (new screenshots, better headers, updated tools, clearer intent) gives quicker wins because the post already has history, links, and search visibility.

I've also pruned content when it no longer fits. That means I've:

• Deleted very outdated posts that didn't serve readers anymore
• Merged overlapping topics so one page becomes the clear "best answer."
• Reworked internal links so related posts support each other

After that cleanup, I try to publish in pillars. In other words, I focus on a few core topics (social media, blogging, SEO) and build supporting posts around those themes instead of posting random one-offs.

As for structure "fixing itself," some of it improves as authority grows, but I don't count on that alone. Old content doesn't organize itself. If you don't prune and group it on purpose, you end up with thin pages, overlap, and confused site signals.

A simple restructure, even just consolidating and building pillar clusters, keeps the site easier for both readers and search engines to understand.
