I wonder if I will ever uncover

The secret behind WordPress’s Discover

It used to be Freshly Pressed, long ago

But that disappeared, to where? I don’t know

I checked it out once, then checked it again

I still didn’t see me, I’m wondering when

I’ll make it to the big time, a rising star

And change the license plate on my car

Yes! Everyone will know just who I am

Hubby, the kids and even Gram

So they can shout, she’s like no other!

You can finally find her on ‘Discover’!

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?

disgust-clipart-smiley_disgustedFor the past several days, I have been commenting on blogs, etc, and disappearing into oblivion.  Not spam, not trash, OBLIVION!!  I’m tired of fighting with this on a constant basis.  Please forgive me if I do not comment on your blog, because how would you even know??!!.  Just know that I am reading and hoping WordPress finds an answer to  whatever issue they’re having now….sigh

A Quick Note of Thanks

heart-1577791_960_720Good evening (or morning if you’re on the other side of the pond)  🙂

I wanted to take a brief moment of your time to say thank you.  My life has been a bit chaotic lately, and I don’t always get a chance to comment on your blogs as much as I would like.  For that, I apologize but I know you all understand.

Yesterday was the third anniversary of the day I began my blog.  2013 was a whirlwind year for me, with many changes.  I took a chance and completely changed my career, to do what I’ve always loved best…write.  I didn’t know what to expect.  I didn’t know if I would be accepted. Honestly, I was scared to death.  This is where you all come in.  I have been blessed with the most amazing people I could ever find, many of you becoming dear friends over these past years.

So I say to all of you, I am extremely blessed to be part of this wonderful community.  I look forward to many years ahead with you, laughing, crying and doing what we love best, supporting each other in whatever endeavors we strive for.

Thank you so very much, from the bottom of my heart, for making me feel like I am home  🙂

❤

Oh my dearest WordPress

Stop messing with my fam

I like to read their comments

You keep sending them to spam!

Their words, for me, inspire

When I don’t see them, what to do?

It’s likely you already know

I blame it all on you

See, our dear friend Ritu crowned us

She calls us One Big Blogily

Stop hiding those who matter

 

Sincerely, your WordPress family
