With the problems experienced by many bloggers overnight be sure your followers and you are still connected. Some folks might have been disconnected from one another and they won’t show up in ones reader feed. Everyone might want to check on that.

Thank You WordPress Community
I want to thank each of you here on WordPress for being a great community of bloggers, authors, journalists, photographers and poets. You are open to people and have an interest in what others are doing. Friends thank you for inspiring me to be a better blogger and hopefully more open-minded. You have welcomed me and you are checking out my serious and sometimes silly posts. Many of you have connected to my blog and are seeing what I am doing and offering feedback, that is humbling. Once again, thank you!
Blog Fame
I am not sure If I would ever want to be a famous blogger…I don’t think I have what it takes to write posts that are on that level. However what would it be like to have some fame because of your blog. My concern is that I enjoy the report with my fellow bloggers and the bigger you get the harder it becomes. I suppose you can’t have friendships with everyone and you need to have a core group of bloggers you have community with. On Tumblr I had 1500 followers at one point and I don’t know if that is ideal. Perhaps the old saying the more the merrier has some merit. Is what I have to say all that important in the scheme of things. Perhaps I should just go for it and not worry so much. Just a few things to ponder as I gain more followers.
Male Pattern Blogging
I have come to the conclusion I need to be connected with more bloggers who happen to be men. My question is are there more women who blog because they are more verbal, expressive, thoughtful? Men do have things to day but we aren’t always in touch with our feelings to say what we need to say. Perhaps its just things I have in common with different people or something like that. There are some cool dudes out there who are like minded and fun, just need to find them. Male pattern blogging has nothing to do with how much hair one has….yeah that was a lame attempt at humor.
Being Positive
As a generally positive person I do have my moments. But I work hard at seeing the better side of life and people. The world has enough negative energy where it can really wear on us. Having more words of affirmation would do us all good.
You have to be intentionally positive or at least fake it til you make it. This is hard for some because of prior life experience. Positive people do have the right to complain every so often because they want to effect change in their lives and community. I even complain about things, it’s just a human thing to do. Being an idealist is not easy because not everyone shares your vision of how things can be. Ones attitude about life in general informs us about where they are coming from. I heard in a movie once your attitude is the aroma of your heart so sometimes your heart has to be in a good place for you to be positive. Sometimes life hands you situations that require complaining. However I think you can complain from a positive place though.
Blogging can provide a great platform for people to share their hearts and minds. Posting positive things is fairly easy if you get into the practice of doing so. Our world is filled with great things you just have to look for them and to filter out the negative. Being positive isn’t easy, it’s a choice, its worth it.
A Ramble About My Blog
It is my hope that this blog will inform, inspire and enlighten whoever visits. This is the place where I chronicle and curate the things that are important to me. Of course you will see me doing silly things here too, I am a total dork after all. A good blog will show humanity and hopefully peace. Thanks to you for spending time here. Keep on blogging.
