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.

Something About Connecting
It’s amazing that if you have a great many followers that you only seem to get a fraction of them interacting. Sometimes having more following means less connecting. Quality seems to be the ideal whereas quantity is not all it’s cracked up to be. So the more the merrier might not apply in every situation.
For a personal blogger the rules are different than that of a business or commercial blogger. Making friends is something they both want to do but for different reasons. I have a lot of followers but seem to connect with just a small portion of those who are following. It’s funny how that works.
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.
Make A Bloggers Day
Be the first or among the first to follow a new blogger. It will make their day knowing they are building an audience. Remember the days when you first started blogging and how when someone you had never met before liked a post or followed your blog. Making connections through blogging can be a great way to expand ones horizons.
It’s good to encourage people to keep on blogging and to make this process fun.
