  4. Hi everyone! I’m new to this site my Aunt introduced it to me! I’m still exploring and learning! I’ve never had a blog before so this is definitely my first time, so any tips, hints, and advice you have please feel free to throw me a bone! I’m very blunt and have strong opinions about certain topics, so therefore that’s the reason I’m here, and I have youngsters on my facebook now and have to watch what I say. Anyways thanks alot have a nice day!

  9. Dear all,

    I would like to introduce you to my photoblog. If you’re interested in photography and travelling it might be something for you. There are daily posts and some travelogues and hopefully, in the future, there will be some How-tos. I’m a German guy writing in English so my clumsy words may amuse you as well. Let me know what you think about it. Notably if you have suggestions about how to make it better. Every appropriate feedback is appreciated.

    Cheers from Munich and have a nice time everybody.

  11. So yesterday was my first day introducing my blog. I had about 141 views yesterday. I don’t know what to compare that to as I work to build up traffic. My blog is about my life with my kids, stores I own, and my work in politics. I was just wondering some idea others used to keep traffic coming. And thanks to those of you who took time to read my blog. It was amazing to have dialogue with others from other countries. I love this already even with my limited time.

  17. Hi There,
    I just punt up a post on the disconnect between support for feminist values and denigration of the feminist label.
    Please let me know what you think!

  19. Hello, I could really use some help with my blog. For some reason the text in my blog keeps fluctuating, as in part of the post is in one font while the rest is in another font or the color shifts randomly from darker to lighter shades. How can I correct this?

    So you, who also have your blog which not hosted on WordPress are telling me just because I don’t host on WordPress, (which you are wrong btw) that I am no entitled to post or answer posts in this community? I have come across people like you, just because you have a blog about WordPress you feel that you can lord it over everyone, So back off. People wish to post on here without harassment from people like you they can. People blog to escape little Hitler’s and rules that govern their lives they don’t need people giving them restrictions or denying them their right and freedom to publish what they want, how they want and when they want. but if I see you trying to lord it over newbies I will say something and I don’t care what you think IMHO, If you have a problem with me stay away from me its that simple!!

      1. wrong again….. guess your not looking hard enough, my bullying little friend. Carry on looking. Oh and btw, I really don’t give a damn that people don’t visit any of my 4 websites and blogs, I do them for my benefit, I don’t make money from any of them. As for answering questions in the community, I talk, discuss and contemplate other peoples muses, activities and anything that these good people wish to write about. I have answered many many posts and you are the only one who has a complaint, this places you in a minority. Your blog can have tens of thousands of pages on WordPress which still doesn’t give you the right to dictate to people how they post in this or any community. I did not risk my life for you to stop people posting what they like in a community that actively promotes freedon of expression and freedom to publish what the hell they wish. You demanding that a person does not post up their blogs address without any other words included in the post is going against the spirit of WordPress. Now I suggest you climb down from your ivory tower and start treating people how you would like to be treated and stop patrolling or just trolling the corridors of the communities to dictate or scold when someone has done something that does not fit into your neat little world of WordPress. Now you can answer me or you can just let it go and get on with you life, the choice is yours, because I know I have better things to do then spend my time answering you when Blazing Saddles is on TV and I am missing it. Smile your face will look so much better then the red scowling you are doing just now. 🙂

      1. Hello there!
        Thank you so much for even visiting my page and taking the time to read through my posts. Wow the fact that you tweeted my post is so awesome, never expected that I’ve been trying to do add images to some of the posts but I’m using an internet stick here (I’m still travelling through India) and it’s really difficult to add images because it takes SO long for them to upload. I haven’t had the time to look through and figure out on my own how best to use the theme I have chosen so I really appreciate the link!
        Sometime in the near future I would love to read through your blogs as well!
        Thanks again for the feedback! 🙂
