Happy anniversary to me here at WordPress.com. I am glad to be here blogging and rolling with this fantastic service. Thanks to all who have connected with me here over the years. Keep on blogging good people!

Daily Prompt: Cavity

Sometimes one thing can lead to another. I broke a tooth recently and when my dentist took an x-ray of the messed up molar a tooth right next to it was discovered to have a cavity. I suppose I need to do a better job of taking care of my choppers/teeth. Cavities are expensive and painful. Too many of them would lead to something more extreme.

Daily Prompt: Conversation

In this age of devices and technology are we having real, genuine conversations anymore. Other than what you see on chat shows are people engaging in dialog that can make change, make a difference, make sense. It seems that talking and action can be two separate things. It’s interesting how conversations can change things good or bad. So our words have so much power that its necessary to choose them wisely.

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.

A New Look For The Tony Burgess Blog From A Familiar Theme #wordpress

An important part of blogging is how the reader responds. They can’t respond if the typeface is too small or there is too much going on the screen at one time. I have used 1, 2 and 3 column layouts in my blogging career but the two column seems to strike a good balance of information and content with some eye candy thrown in.

The Toujours theme offers a font size that is easy to read along with plenty of blank space it doesn’t seem so crowded. I have used this theme before but I am employing some new ways to display recent posts among other features to make the blog stand out.

I hope you will enjoy my blog even more with these aesthetic and functional changes. Your interest in me and this blog are appreciated.

Two Years @ WordPress.com

I have been blogging here at WordPress.com for over two years now. Last week (April 9th) was the anniversary of me posting regularly on this blog. I have grown as a blogger since moving here and that is a good thing. Meeting people from around the world has helped me expand my horizons and I have enjoyed our shared interests. Blogging is about community and connections and of course content.

Here was the first post I wrote
