When someone likes your posts and follows your blog it’s a great feeling. However, I am not all about getting as many followers as possible here at The Tony Burgess Blog. Quality is as important as quantity in my mind. A fellow blogger just mentioned she reached the 1000 follower mark and I am thinking do I want to do the same here. On Tumblr I had well over 1000 followers but it became difficult to manage that many. WordPress might be a different animal though.
Currently I am around 850 so I am not far off. Making connections and friendships in blogging is what I am most interested in doing, but can you do that with 1000 people. My brother-in-law has near 5000 friends on Facebook which I think is the cap on personal accounts but he is a person who naturally makes connections in his line of work. I guess time will tell if I reach that 1000 follower milestone. Perhaps I just should think that the more the merrier is a good thing. Hopefully it means people like you, or something like that.

I don’t know how many I have, but I do not think it is many. I don’t really know how to get more followers. I write because I need that outlet. How long have you been writing this blog?

I recently hit 100 followers on WP, and I was totally amazed! I never thought I’d have even one, haha. But I’m like you: quality over quantity. And meeting new people is exciting, too. And you can’t stop people from following you, Tony, so you’re going to find out one way or another what it’s like to have that many followers 😉

Congratulations on having so many followers – you must be doing something right! I’ve got over a 100 on WordPress and then more that subscribe by email which I’m quite happy about. But I still feel pleased every time I see a new person has followed my blog.

Thank you my fellow blogger. You are a BBC veteran I see and I am a huge fan of it here in the USA.
