WordPress Almost A Week In

I have been “back” with WordPress for almost a week and I am daily impressed by the system of blogging and social engagement here. There are some great people I have connected with who are doing some great, original content. Built in commentary and the ability to like user posts make this a great system of content management, blogging and other cool things.

Will I continue to use WordPress? Yes I will. Will I abandon Tumblr? No. My plan is to use both in a way that each blog will have some similar and some different content. I do think WordPress is a superior blogging platform and its something I need to know more about because my work could call upon it. There is a culture of users here who are loyal and the opportunities to go to camps and workshops about blogging excites me.

Keep on blogging good people! Thanks for your connections.

Time Does March On

Yesterday can feel like last week. Last week can feel like last month, last month can feel like six months ago, a year can feel like an eternity. When it comes to time it is indeed hard to believe how fast it goes. We are never standing still, always moving, always changing. Time does march on and we are always on the move. So when you think about it we are all time travelers.

Money, Money, Money

Money makes things happen. It changes things and people. It’s what we do with money that can determine if it makes us happy or makes things worse. Money by itself can do little but with a human being in charge of it interesting things can happen. Just a thought or two.

So I Changed My Blog Theme

I am now using the Motif theme and I think it looks a little more polished and more suited to my personality. What do you think? Many of you inspire me in what you do with your blogs content and function. Your feedback is welcome!

To The WordPress Community

I have been impressed by what I have seen here the past few days. WordPress has some great people doing some great stuff online. I do have some questions about your experiences.

1. How often do you post? I tend to post a lot when I see things that inspire me. So its not uncommon for me to post 10 or more times in a day, is that too much? Is WordPress meant for fewer, more thought out posts?

2. The writers here are different than on Tumblr. I see a lot of indepth posts about various topics. My posts aren’t very long and that comes from my prior experiences with blogging.

3. What are your overall experiences with WordPress as a place where you can be social and develop connections with other bloggers? I have made friendships with people on other platforms like Multiply and now with Tumblr, What can I expect here?

If you have any other information you would like offer please do. Your perspective and opinion is appreciated. Thank you for all those who have connected with me in my very short time here.

Everyone Loves A Underdog

How come in movies like The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies the bad guys army is so much bigger than the good guys? It seems almost cliche to me. The Orcs in this movie outnumber everyone 2 or 3 to 1 and it doesn’t seem fair. As my wife observes everyone loves a underdog. However in these movies the underdog has to fight twice as hard and there isn’t always a happy ending.
