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.

Thank you for your hospitality
Whenever I visit your blogs I appreciate your hospitality. I think it’s important to have a blog that is welcoming to ones readers and encourages feedback. Of course its good to mind your manners when visiting a blog. You can do that by liking posts, offering positive commentary when possible and being respectful. A blog is an online home where you are a guest and you should never over stay your welcome, although I am not sure how that happens. Hospitality is an important concept in all of life. It’s important to be inviting and kind. Hospitality in life and on your blog is a two-way street my friends.
Hospitality is making your guests feel at home, even if you wish they were. ~Author Unknown

Global Followers
I appreciate all my fellow bloggers who are following me here from around the globe. One thing I love about this thing called blogging is how we can be connected in a very unique way. We can discover more about ourselves by seeing the lives of people from different places from Australia to Zimbabwe and inbetween. My world view has been expanded by some great bloggers who have shown me the places they call home and in their communities. I wish you peace and grace my friends from far away. I hope and pray for peace and that we will have the freedom to keep on blogging no matter where we are.
A Ramble About Blogging: Content and Safety
By nature your blog should be something you post content to in a timely fashion. Its a chronicle of your life and your world and there are lots of things to post about daily. Some post multiple times a day, like me; while others are more methodical and will post only on a schedule….both ways are good, just different in their approach. Just think about how many things happen in your life daily that you can blog on. Some of it might be mundane but perhaps that is how you can connect with others.
When I see a blog that hasn’t been published to in over a year then it makes me wonder if it is being used as a real blog or for nefarious actions. You can never be too careful about what some blogs are there for. I say if there is content on a consistent basis its cool if it is something without having been published to in several months then its abandoned. Some use their blogs are about bots, data mining and spam which we don’t like.
I wish blocking were an option with WordPress because there are some fellow bloggers that look shady. Maybe I am being a little paranoid or perhaps just exercising an over abundance in caution. Either way I want blogging to be a great tool for self expression while being a safe place to share what is happening in your corner of the world.
I Am A WordPress Convert
It’s safe to say I am a WordPress convert. There I said it. Now I feel better. With all due respect to Tumblr, I now feel like I am blogging seriously now. There are amazing tools here for expression, communication and connections.
This is now my official blog of note. When you want to know what is going on with me, http://tonyburgess1969.net is where you go. It is good to be here.
