  2. Hi, I come from Holland and I started my interior design weblog 5 weeks ago. It is written in Dutch.But the purposes of my blog is to share to others that it is not necessary to spend a lot of money to create a personal and interesting interior. It is all about creativity, inspiration and sometimes luck. I hope you enjoy reading my blog and let me know what you think.

  3. Hi everyone? Is it too late to ask something? I hope it’s not. Anyhow, ever since my poetry post in a Daily Prompt got considerable attention, I noticed that many of the blogs who participate makes use of a long list of pingbacks. You know, those blog url lists at the end of their posts, often at the minimum of five and the maximum of whatever?

    I just want to ask, do they do this manually or is there a shortcut to this? If I am not mistaken, those who do this don’t really look at your blog post right?

    I just do hope there is a shortcut particularly for WordPress.com bloggers. You know, since it seems to be frequent practice. Thanks.

  4. Hope
    I walked down the snow covered slope,
    With a sunken heart and less hope.
    Shivering with both cold and fear,
    Could I find anyone willing to share?

    A parched throat, a hungry stomach,
    A cold body, what rotten luck.
    The evil, misty and dark night,
    No hope, only stretching forest in sight.

    Remedies for my running nose,
    Warmth for my frozen toes,
    Can I get it, does the world have anything to spare,
    Does it feel, does it care?

    At last I see a flickering light,
    I rush towards it with all my might.
    It strengthens me, uplifts my spirit
    A beautiful cottage brightly lit.

    This is my only chance, I thought,
    This is the place I had sought.
    I knocked hard on the door,
    And it was opened by a lady I knew I would

    1. Taranginibhalla I enjoyed your poem. It reminded me of a time I was lost during the winter here in South Dakota. It was around -10 and because the tree’s blocked most of the wind the chill factor was not that bad. But what you described brought to life this real incident that I endured. I liked it very much.

  6. Hi everyone, I hope it’s not too late to get little feedback. I have been taking my photography more seriously lately, focusing on headshots and portraits, so I have tried to set my blog up to feel as though you are viewing a portfolio site. I would love to receive some feedback on the look and feel of the site from some fresh eyes:
