        That’s interesting! I would love to read your future posts. I am technically with the MS too but end up working across departments. I love working in my school because unlike others, the counselor’s role is a very active one and I get to do a lot more than usual.

      Hi Lance,
      It is true. I am so much busier than I was before. However, I find I am loving the blogging and the connections I’ve made from it. I guess people find time for what they love. How do you handle it? I see you have a blog. If you’d be interested in a “Follow for Follow,” let me know. Thanks for writing. I am so sorry I didn’t respond sooner. It was rude of me and not my norm.

      Hi,
      Thanks for your support. My stats were saved by our class rallying for me! What a community! We are lucky to have that.
      Yes, the theme is free. I teach history, so I thought it looked like ancient Egypt with the camel in the desert. I may not be able to save everyone, but I can try and save someone….Who said that? Anne Frank? Helen Keller? Someone did. Thanks for the support once again.

        Hi, Okay I’m back. I went to your site.
        1. Yes, you definitely have a theme. It’s in your header. Your theme is idioms and inspirational quotes.
        2. However, I only saw one or two posts, but they weren’t about that theme. Are these exceptions?
        I did it on Sunday. I wrote about the Academy Awards although my theme is giving blogging advice to bloggers. It was an exception. You don’t want to confuse your readers.
        I would love to help anytime. Feel free to check out my posts or follow my blog. I have almost 100 articles at Reflections with blogging advice. Feel free to write with questions anytime.
        PS I agreed with all you wrote about other bloggers. Don’t worry about your “harsh” tone. You use your own voice. You’ll find an audience.

    I’m really excited to have found your blog. I sense that I will learn very practical ideas from you. I’m also reading pro blogger and while it’s good, I find the content too slow. I’ve been copywriting and in graphic design for a while. What I’m really interested in is SEO- it’s Greek to me especially when Google changed up everything. Link or not to link? Has pyramid linking gone out the window? What other new tools are out there right now. As I’m going through a transition (move) cross-country I reluctantly had to pare down my blog goals. But I’m posting 2 articles/week and reblogging 2guest blogs a week. I hope to resume a more ambitious schedule after my move is complete. I’m loving it. I really do. I almost feel obsessed (writing was always my first creative love) And at the very least how wonderful would it be to have some extra income to put toward my other goals? 🙂 Can’t wait to learn, Teacher.
    Blessings!

      Hi!
      What wonderful words greeted me when I read your comments. I agree with what you’ve written. I, too, feel obsessed at times. For that reason alone, I’ve had to scale back and now reblog on Thursdays instead of publishing original material. Extra income? Awesome, but I sense that’s still down the road a bit for me.
      Thanks again for the wonderful compliments.

      Hi,
      Tomorrow go to my Linky party. By Thursday, there will be 300 bloggers there for you to network with. Try to find people who blog about your topic. Click their link, and get to know them. If you are one of the first, they will be more likely to click your link. The link goes live at 6:00 am California time, so don’t click it before then. It should go to your Email inbox, but here it is anyway.

    You have a great blog here, Janice, I will sure be exploring it! When I started blogging, I had no idea how it worked, there is advice out there, but a lot of it was not relevant to my type of blog. I am using it to write my book, and post chapter by chapter.
    I found that connecting with others-commenting on their blogs, and sharing on social media helps people to find my blog. Right now I am at a stage when it is almost finished, and I am starting to think what next? (And panic slightly :-p) I will probably organize it better, and start a new book. I know, you are probably very busy, but if you had any tips or advice for me, it would be much appreciated! Thank you Gia x

      I actually do have advice since you asked. My advice is more toward the blogging end of things. Although, of course, many of my tips apply to all writers. However, a woman named Sally has a blog devoted to writers of literature, and she tends to take writers under her wing giving them exposure. Here is the link to her blog https://smorgasbordinvitation.wordpress.com/. I’d check her out; she will have a lot of tips for your genre.
      It has been fun getting to know you today. I’d love to talk Poe with you anytime.

        Hello!
        Thanks for the visit, Yes ofcousre its just three months I am Blogging.
        I tried it in my Widgets. The Comment button comes only when you click on the Post you are now seeing. What better can be done about that. I even want to put a Tag on the Comment button which I have seen people doing that.
        Nice of YOU coming to My BLOG.
        Please do comment.

I am looking to expand my readership. There is even a free incentive for signing up which will save you hours of reading. Here is the link http://wp.me/P5jxvv-hM

            Hi!
            I really do not know whats happening, it so happened that yesterday my daughter also tried to put a like on my blog, she could not, but then I tried to tell her how to do that by entering her email, ultimately she landed opening an wordpress account and her own Blog, this is surprising.
            I will try with this link how far that is useful.
            Shiva

          • Janice Wald

            The same thing happened to my husband that happened to your daughter. People not on WordPress can comment, but they can not like. That is why they had to open their own account. I would love to welcome you to my community. If you have trouble entering your Email, let me know.

      Hi Todd,
      I am so very flattered that I just don’t have words to express my gratitude. I clicked the link, thanked you, and commented on your post. I did answer your ten questions. The only one that stumped me was the quote. I am sure I could have done better, but that’s the one that leaped into my head for some reason. I’ll keep you in suspense until you get to your post to see how I answered.
      Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I’m finishing up a month-long vacation. Thank you again so much for this honor. I had fun answering your questions. Take care,

    So happy to have met you via Mr. Ape and through your wonderful comments you left on my blog post “Kissed by an Angel”.

    It’s so apparent you know how to navigate the wide, expansive world of blogging. This is a skill that is lacking to promote my writing and art.

    I’ll be following you now (not stalking, LOL) to learn more.
    I only blog once every two weeks. I envy those (in a good way) who blog daily.
