Blogging is a passion and I now have a service plan that meets that passion. I also get some more toys to play with too! Making another long-term commitment to the fine people here at WordPress.com is something I am glad to do.

New “Press This” on WordPress
Friends and fellow bloggers there is a new “Press This” blogging tool available. You can use this to share articles and other content from across the web on your own blog.
Go to the https://wordpress.com/settings/writing/ to update the “press this” link.
Banning Bot Blogs
I am blocking any blog who seems to be created with a bot or is solely using it as some sort of spam site. I will not follow back. My purpose is expression and making connections with real, live people in the blogging community. It is my hope that WordPress will be able to develop a system where blocking/banning is easier and more effective.
The Cool Thing About Blogging
There are many things that are cool about blogging but I enjoy seeing how you all live your lives and enjoy the things you are passionate about. I think that is what this medium does very well is that we can share things about ourselves, where we live and what drives us. We get to see what the weather is in other parts of the world or a new grandchild being born, a new recipe that has really become a family favorite, what new outfit we are wearing these days. Of course there is the opportunity to share the stuff we are going through and to seek advice when things are not easy and we are struggling. This is the one thing that keeps us connected and are the ties that bind. I find everyday peoples stories and lives more fascinating than those who are famous. Heck we are all famous on the web.
My friends your story is important. Keep on blogging for all the good it can do.
Everyone Gets It Wrong Sometimes
One part of this blog is its dedication to current events. That is because I am big on posting about things that are happening now. However there comes a time when I get stuff wrong. I rely upon sources from the media that have a long history of journalism and getting things right. Today I posted about the death of rock star Tom Petty. It was later that his death was not verified so as of this post he is still alive.
Everyone gets things wrong sometimes but you want to be as right as you can. Keeping on top of things means verifying your sources multiple times. The web does have some great websites to verify reality from urban legend to misinformation. When I get something wrong I will own up to it and say I am sorry. Ones reputation online means being accurate as much as you can.
