Just a quick note, to my friends, far and near

Please don’t think I ignore those I hold dear

Your comments always mean to the world to me

I try to reply back, as long as I can see

The black of your text, saying hi or whatever

But WordPress, again, is squashing my endeavor

I have found you scattered, in the spam, on my blog

Good thing I keep checking, that silly ole log

So forgive me, for taking so long to respond

I’ve finally saved you from drowning, in the WP pond

Question for Everyone ~ WordPress has me puzzled

Hi Gang!

Here’s my dilemma:

I was going through the blogs I follow, and doing some cleaning up, when I discovered something quite odd.  People I have been following forever, are no longer found in my “manage sites followed”, not even when I search by blog name or URL AND I’m not even following myself anymore!  HOWEVER, I still get the emails when they (and I) post!!

Has anyone else noticed this happening with their blog?

100000Imagine my surprise when I checked my stats and found I have over 100K views! This never could have happened without you, my wonderful readers and friends!  I am honored, and humbled, that you find yourself here, and I hope you will continually return.

When I started this blog, I was excited when I had one view.  Who knew it would grow to be like this?!!  The WordPress community is amazing, and I am thrilled to be a part of it.  Thank you all so very much!!

Much Love  ❤ ~ Dorinda

patient1-1000x772Hello Friends,

You may have noticed (or not :/ ), that I have been remiss in replying to your comments, as well as commenting on your posts.  I do apologize, but it is with good reason.  If you read my poem from today, “Overwhelmed“, you’ll get a feel from where I’m coming from.  I apologize, and am slowly catching up with everyone, a little at a time.  I am also battling some health issues, which I do not like to dwell on, but have been more of a nuisance than not, and as such, I am away from my keyboard more than I’d like to be.  Please be patient with me.  I love reading your posts, it will just take me a bit longer.

A side note ~ if you have a twitter account, please make sure your twitter ID is filled in on the Sharing page (settings -> sharing).  I also use this as a way of telling you I loved the piece I read, especially when I don’t have time to comment!!

Love you all,

Dorinda

Where once you were, you’re no longer there

I bet you thought, I wouldn’t care

But I do, you see, it’s important to me

The reason you felt, you had to flee

Did I forget to mention you?

Is this something I should do?

I hope one day, you’ll change your mind

When once again, my blog, you’ll find

 

Authors Note: This was a challenge from my dear friend, Michelle of Putting My Feet in the Dirt.  She wrote a poem about losing a follower and two days later, I noticed I lost one, too, so I blamed her lol  She dared me to write about it, so here it is 🙂
