Have you noticed the new feature of WordPress right on the comment box? Whereas before they only have “approve” and “like”, now they have added “trash, “edit” and “spam”. I was wondering whether Akismet is still working. It is. I just deleted a few spam comments. I wonder why these people keep on writing those nonsense, those comments are not even related to the post. They have their own stories, sometimes their comments are even longer than my blog post but I don’t read them, I just press “delete permanently”. As I have said before in some previous posts, they are quite annoying. I don’t see the relevance of reading them before deleting. Occasionally though, some valid comments are in my spam folder so I reverse it and put them in the comment box.
According to WordPress, I reached my 10th year here the other day. Well, it took me just one blog post when I opened this account since I didn’t even know how to customize it. A year after I posted that lone poem, I started writing here so I don’t really consider that year-long hiatus counted as my first year. I only started actual blogging more than a year after, just when I found out I had colon cancer.
Back then, Multiply was still alive and I had about a hundred friends there who are now mostly on Facebook too. I think those were the best years of blogging and posting Music videos and my own CDs at the site. Multiply was a wonderful platform. My brother even subscribed me to the premium plan of the site. It has closed its doors a few years ago.
How’s your blogging journey? Are you still inspired to share your thoughts in cyberspace?
