Hello Don! Thank you for looking in and following my little blog. I look forward to seeing new posts from you.
Hey Penny, you are very welcome, there are some in the pipeline I think 😉 warm regards DC
THanks for following my blog – much appreciated!
Welcome, warm regards DC
Thank you for following my blog….I hope you enjoy!
You are welcome, warm regards DC
Don, I just added you to a Twitter list I am building called “Friendly Bloggers.” Dropping you a heads-up because I looked at your Twitter timeline and I am not sure how much attention you pay to Twitter. This is a list of bloggers who have shown the Krewe of Part Time Monster kindness or collegiality. You have certainly done that.
You are on it because we appreciate your comments and other interactions. We see how much attention you pay to your threads and we see what you do with your awards. This is our way of saying thanks for the Not Freshly Pressed award, which we will enjoy forever even if we all get Freshly Pressed and have to remove the badge (one of us already has, hehe.)
It is you who showed us the power of pingbacks.
Hey Gene-O, I don’t get on twitter that much, but do monitor and pay attention. It’s challenging to keep up with all the messages on the blog, so one social network keeps me busy !
Twitter is my favourite of other networks, so I will gradually learn how to use better 🙂 Could you tell me how I can add myself to the list ?
And I appreciate your friendship too, it’s not a one way street, the people are what makes blogging great fun not the blog itself.
Cheers
DC
I added you. If you go to your connections, you should see that I added you to a list. If not, go to @Sourcererblog and find my list “Friendly Bloggers.” It is a public list with about 20 bloggers of all sizes that have done me good turns in the last three months. You should be able to subscribe to it, and follow everyone on it if you wish. It is a list for bloggers who take the time to respond to me, or who join my little collaboration network I am building. It will grow. Sourcerer’s twitter account is really just for helping bloggers find bloggers. I’ll move my personal profile off that account soon and brand it with my page art.
Thanks dude, I’ll check it out 🙂
PS all done 🙂
The fact that you are following so few people, and have so many followers, is a read advantage to you. Since you don’t interact on Twitter but you do pay attention, it is probably to your advantage to only follow people who add you to lists of bloggers, and then follow most of the bloggers on those lists. Bloggers will follow you back, and as long as you don’t unfollow and keep being a real person, they will not unfollow you, for the most part. You could build a huge Twitter following of bloggers starting today, just by only following bloggers. (I am just figuring this stuff out myself, and some bloggers on Twitter are being nice enough to help me out).
Hey Gene’O thanks dude, it’s useful info. I’ve been concentrating on WordPress because that’s where I’m most at home … Twitter as yet largely unexplored, but I like twitter also, so will investigate … cheers DC
yw. I am most at home on WordPress, too.
It’s just better than anything else !
🙂 I totally agree on the charisma thing. I always say I can get away with anything with my smile. i have done it so many times. 🙂
True say ! warm regards DC
Don! How on earth did you find my shit, man?
Love the Not Freshly Pressed awards, well done.
Looks like I’ve got some reading to do here, hey.
See ya round buddy!
Respect REDdog
Just part of the magic of wordpress I guess 🙂
And thanks, Pressly Freshed award was fun to do and many liked !
Keep in touch
DC

Life is a paradox, don’t waste your time trying to figure it out – made me laugh, but I am in that kind of mood, you are so right, but still we spend so much time analyzing what was, what could have been, and what did it all mean anyway….this is where I turn for solace to my old favourite – the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy with a cup of liquid that is absolutely and totally in every case like very good builders tea.
Don – Thanks for following my blog, thanks for making me laugh, best for the week Polianthus
You are very welcome, and I love the Hitch-hikers guide too … best to you, my warmest, DC
Hi there, I nominate you for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award. take care
Hey that’s very kind of you … where do I find the instructions for “the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award” …
Warm regards
DC
Here is the link, http://sustainableslick.wordpress.com/2014/02/02/sisterhood-of-the-world-bloggers-award/
Thanks hun, got it 🙂
Hello, thanks for following my blog! 🙂 Sorry I am just commenting …I am still new to this blogging thing. I like yours!! 🙂
Thank you, and no worries, just take your time it will all fall into place 🙂
I love your “Not featured on freshly pressed” badge 🙂 You’re fun!
Thank you … very kind 🙂
thanks for following my blog 🙂
You are very welcome 🙂
Just stopping by to see what you’re up to and say – this is a really impressive site. And also to give you votes. Because votes seem to be the hardest feedback to get. I value them almost as much as comments.The fact that you took the time to visit when I posted the not-freshly-pressed award and take advantage of all the different ways of connecting with me was cool. No one does that. Well, I do it when I find blogs that I like. No one else seems to, really. Best 🙂
Hey Gene’O, thanks 🙂
Likes for me are a way of gauging whether I’m getting it right or not in my follower’s eyes. Comments are more for connecting with followers.
Good to have made contact, I have a regular bunch of 200-300 people who actively comment and engage me, but takes effort on both sides 🙂
Warm regards
DC
Hey, thanks for following my blog, I wonder how you found me 😀 ?
Some things are best left to mystery and you are welcome 🙂
