Super Ultra Nice

July 13, 2016 Tony Burgess 4 Comments

To be kind and nice even though you are looked at funny is a thing the world needs more of. Even when it means going overboard and doing more good things than some are used to. I like others sometimes more than myself. When you are super ultra nice you do so intentionally.

Gravatar: Why You Need To Create A full Profile.

July 13, 2016 Tony Burgess 6 Comments

The Gravatar is a great way to connect you with other bloggers and to provide your own identity online. Gem Stone does a great job of explaining it all.

As a new blogger I get very excited when people like my posts, however, I’ve noticed one mistake a lot of people seem to make. Even by some bloggers much more experienced than myself.

They don’t have a full Gravatar profile.

Let’s start at the beginning.

You write a post on your blog and publish it and lo and behold, someone likes it. If you’re like me, you want to know who that person is.

Screenshot_20160713-194821 Now if you’re on the app and get a notification, brilliant. You can click on the name of the person who liked it and go straight to their profile. But if you’re on your website you might decide to click on their avatar (The little box next to the ‘like’ button.)

This will take you to Gravatar.

So what is Gravatar?

Gravatar is a globally recognised avatar. If you are a WordPresser you automatically get…

Interesting Time In Politics, Get Out And Vote

July 13, 2016 Tony Burgess 1 Comment

With Bernie Sanders endorsing Hillary Clinton yesterday and Theresa May becoming British Prime Minister today and of course Donald Trump this is an interesting time in politics around the world. It will be interesting to see how the US election goes. May will be leading the UK out of the EU so that will bring about significant changes globally and for some locally. Theresa May is the second female PM so will the USA see a Female President. If that happens 3 major world powers will have women at the helm.

Politics is ultimately about power and how people manipulate it. There is something about power that changes people.

I am fascinated by how things are going in other races that don’t involve the race for the White House. Politics is very local and personal too. Your local officials such as mayor, city council and county commissioners have way more impact on your own day-to-day life than anything nationally.

No matter what, know the issues and vote. It’s important for those who have the freedom to choose to do so. Politics is ugly but its even uglier when you don’t participate. Make your voice heard, its a good thing to do.

Theresa May: A profile of Britain’s next prime minister – ITV News

July 13, 2016 Tony Burgess 4 Comments

Theresa May began her political career in the middle of Margaret Thatcher’s premiership and has long been touted as the woman most likely to become Britain’s second female prime minister.

Later today Theresa May becomes the new Prime Minister of Great Britain. She follows in the steps of Sir Winston Churchill and Baroness Margaret Thatcher. From what I have read she will be a tough leader and will have to negotiate terms of the Brexit leave of the European Union. She is going to have her work cut out for her as she succeeds outgoing Prime Minister David Cameron who served for six years. .

My British/UK friends, what say you about your new Prime Minister?
