I upgraded my blog to the Personal Plan on WordPress.com today. This means more storage (6 gigs instead of 3 gigs), ads will no longer appear on my page and my domain is active until November of next year. All of that cost me under $16 for the year, you can’t beat that. As a person who runs a personal blog I have found that I don’t need every bell and whistle and I have no plans on making any money from my site. Having the fine folks at Automattic/Wordpress.com take care of all the heavy lifting behind the scenes is something I am happy about. What this means is that I am extending my presence here for the long term so you get more of my special brand of nerdiness and dorkiness. Upgrading is a good thing.

When A Post Bombs, Yep Sometimes It Does #blogging
Sometimes a post isn’t your best work. It kind of goes over like a lead balloon or something like that. You put a lot of mental effort into it or perhaps its something you think people might find interesting or inspirational. Pride in your posts can taint how you write down the road if you let it. Not every post will shine like a diamond, some will go thud. It’s interesting how people react to things online and in real life. It really is hard to please everyone but that doesn’t mean you should stop trying.
Something About Tumblr
A friend of mine deleted her Tumblr blog after being harassed by some who had issues with the fandom they feel passionate about. I thought Tumblr was a cool and safe place for everyone. It seems it isn’t. I’m sorry she did that but it seems Tumblr has a way to go to become that place of open mindedness and true freedom of expression. Fandoms are highly personal things so when one is attacked because of uninformed people saying ignorant things then perhaps it’s time to run along. I’m glad to be on WordPress.
A Bit Of A #Blogging Dry Spell
I am finding it difficult to post these days. Not sure why. Maybe it’s a creative dry spell. At the moment I am doing a lot of commenting on blogs. I hope to get back to my normal posting patterns sometime soon. Thanks for sticking with me. I do promise to keep on blogging through it all.
Bloggers Coming Home, Welcome Back!
It’s good to see bloggers who haven’t posted in awhile showing up with some new stuff. Their presence is always missed. So to all you prodigal bloggers out there, welcome back. Keep on blogging.
Daily Prompt: Anticipation
Turkey and dressing, corn and sweet potatoes. Ham and cornbread. Pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce. Anticipation of the tastes of the season await. Thanksgiving in America is tomorrow and we are all waiting to fill our plate and to fill our bellies. Most importantly is the anticipation of reunion with family and to fill our hearts with love and thanks. There is also the anticipation of shopping on Black Friday too.
