The Internet is a treasure trove of interesting things that some folks wish had remained buried.

I Am Celebrating 10 Years With WordPress.com
I have been blogging off and on with WordPress.com for 10 years. Back in April of last year I migrated from Tumblr and made this my full-time online home. I appreciate the WordPress.com team for providing a great platform for connection, creativity and communication. Blogging here has given me the tools to have a solid online presence. Here is to another 10 years with WP.com.
International Followers
I thank all you from around the world who are following me. You are all terrific. Keep on blogging my friends. Grace and peace to you all.
A Short Ramble About Blogging
Blog for the love of it first. Make connections. Have fun. Don’t let your blog get the best of you. Don’t worry about number of followers so much, if you do regular posts they will come. Tag surf and find other donors that you can establish relationships with. All of this will happen in time. Vary the format in which you blog. Post media such as video, audio and pictures every now and then.
Be yourself first, that will draw folks to your blog.
Organizing The Blogs On WordPress You Are Following
The WordPress Reader has a way for you to create lists to organize the bloggers you are following. You can set it up by any topic or interest you can think of that will help you with reading the blogs you would like to read more of at any given time. You can also add non-Wordpress blogs to it. Try creating your own lists so you can manage who you are reading.
For more information, check out https://en.support.wordpress.com/reader-lists/ and it will give you more detailed steps on how to set it up.
Keeping Up With The Bloggers
In as many followers I have, I follow just as many fellow bloggers. Keeping up with posts can be a challenge. Blogging in my mind requires one read inasmuch as they write. Usually you can find inspiration for your own blog by checking out the blogs of others. I enjoy finding new blogs because it’s like finding a new character on a TV show or a movie and they add something unique to your feed. To me a blog is like a book and the blogger is the lead in this tale.
I use the WordPress reader and sometimes Feedly to manage the blogs I am following. No one likes to miss a good post but in this busy world we live in it happens. Thank goodness for archive links so catching up is possible. Blogging is meant to be fun and it should be fun. What do you think?
