Twitter #FF Hiatus

This might come across a little, um, brash, but I'm taking a hiatus from the #FF on Twitter. For those of you whom are not aware of what that is, #FF stands for FollowFriday. Basically, it's a suggestion list that you send out to all of your followers so that they can find new people to interact with. If I enjoy "Cliff", "NiceGuy" and "Cowboybubba" I send a #FF out to all of my followers. It's kind of like an endorsement, if you will. Anyway, to be blunt, it's turned into a huge cluster fuck of tweets from mid-Thursday to Saturday mornings. That's not why I'm taking a summer break though. 

Here's the thing, it's hard to remember EVERYONE that I tweet with and even if I did, it would take me 4 hours of non-stop tweeting to complete #FF. So, as it is, I go down my timeline and click names of those whom I'd like to suggest, but if you don't tweet often, your name isn't on my timeline. People get insulted and their feelings hurt if they feel you've left them off. It's like high school! I receive direct messages and emails as a "reminder" or a "hey, did you forget me? waaaaa" and I have received more today than normal so I'm taking a break. Instead of being annoyed and silently screaming at you, I'm walking away from what started out as a good thing but has turned into nothing but a cluster fuck of names. For those of you, who are not one of the whiners, I hope you don't take offense to this and if you continue to add me on your #FF list, I will be honored, but if you don't, please know I won't be hurt. I definitely understand. 

And, with that said, I am done with my mini-rant. lol. I wish you all a very safe and happy Memorial Day weekend. xoxo

Blog Changes

Hey you guys! I hope this finds you doing well and enjoying your week. I've made some changes to my blog and thought a post would be appreciated.

You can now receive an email each time I create a new post. All you have to do is type your email into the "gidgit" that says "Follow By Email". You'll find it on the right side of the blog underneath "About Me". Easy as pie.

I've been asked to make it easier to contact me so now, directly under the "gidgit", you'll find a list of options to choose from. It's pretty self explanatory but if you feel the need please ask questions.

You can now search my blog by typing in key words, which is obvious if you've used a search engine on other sites. Anyway, you'll find another "gidgit" thingy under my TWEETS, also on the right side of the blog.

This next change I'm especially excited about because now the right side is almost even with the left column. I've added a list of popular posts, meaning those who got the most activity. Again, that's pretty explanatory... for most. lol.

Take a look around, make comments and suggestions if you'd like and I'll think about reading them. lol. (I kid, I kid)
