Hello friends.  I have been lax lately in checking in on my blog.  I usually just go to the reader from my phone, never thinking to check my stats.  Last night, while scheduling my poem for this morning, I decided to take a peek.

Boy, did that bring a smile to my face!!  5000+ followers!!  I can’t thank you all enough, for sticking with me through a very rough time (I’m getting there), and to all the new folks who decided I was good enough to read again.  I appreciate all of you!

With Much Love,

~Dorinda

Unbelievable!! Has anyone encountered this?

UPDATE:  The person who tagged my blog has removed the link back and the problem has been solved (I hope).

HELP!

I decided to look at my site today on my desktop computer and discovered another site that had linked back to mine has plopped a photo of a lighthouse on EVERY FREAKING PAGE!!!  This is only visible on a desktop or laptop.  It doesn’t show on the phone or the WP App.

The photo is not in my media so I can’t delete it.  There is no code visible to me in the editor. I am so pissed right now!!

I unapproved the link back, but nothing changed because it’s still linked on their page.  I messaged them but have not heard back.  I also contacted our lovely Happiness Engineers, and haven’t heard from them as of yet

Is there a way to block a site from mine?  I did it once before from the App but I don’t see it anymore.

More Milestones! Wow!!

Hello, friends!

Who would have thought I’d ever reach this milestone?  Certainly not me, but I am so grateful to all of you.  You’ve stayed with me through my ups and downs, and my absences, never leaving me behind.  I can’t thank you enough for that.

Today, when I logged into WordPress, I discovered I had over 300,000 views!!! Over 102,000 visitors and 4,232 followers! I am overwhelmed by these numbers.

Thank you, so very much, all of you, for accepting me into your blogging families, and your lives.  I’m on Cloud 9 right now.   ❤

The Lost Follows ~ #poetry about #WordPress #updates

Where once I followed many blogs, tis not the case today

Seems WordPress played around again, let some get away

Wondering why, I couldn’t see their posts, in my reader

Clicked the link on my desktop, no follow, WP, the ringleader

Perhaps it might be favorable, to beta test an update, before

You apply it to all of us, and send us “flying” out the door

Now I have to go back, try to remember who I’m missing

I promise you it wasn’t me, who started all this dissing!

So if you’ve missed me in your feed, take a look to see

If the Follow is a blasé grey, then, please click it, just for me!

 

Dear Lord, what a mess!!!  I couldn’t understand why I was missing so many of you in my reader, until The Haunted Wordsmith pointed out she had lost so many blogs she follows!!  Enough already!  leave the stuff that works ALONE!

For those of us using the iOS App for WordPress, we received an email yesterday telling us that our WordPress App had signed us out because there was a security issue.  If you haven’t seen it, this is it:

Great. So, it logged me out, and I logged back in, and lo and behold, the reader isn’t working!!!!!! I get as far as one hour ago and, boom, everything else is gone. Anyone else having this problem? Honestly, I’m disgusted over the whole reader crap that’s been going on and this just adds to it.

Hey!  Happiness Engineers!  I…am not happy!
