Today is the last day of bloganuary. Finally I’ll be again completing the first month, 31 days of writing a post.
I remember my challenge back in 2011 when I opted to join the everyday challenge of writing for the whole year. And I did it. The early years of WordPress were okay, not so much of glitches that some of us encounter nowadays. There was even a time back in 2012 (I think) that they featured interesting blogs and gave praise for every blog you wrote. That gave bloggers a sort of encouragement, and a nice feature for blog beginners like me. They didn’t have those like features before.
I noticed that most friends I have here are in their senior years now like I am, but I started blogging upon the recommendation of a good friend I met at Multiply. Back in 2008, I started with a lone poem, tried to test the waters but it took me a year to seriously consider blogging at WordPress. Come to think of it, I didn’t even know how to customize it, just learning through trials and errors. But I did it.
When they introduced Jetpack two years (I think) ago, all I can see is my reader feed. I know it is quite complete but unless I go to my main site, I wouldn’t enjoy the set-up I made there. Choosing a free theme was quite a challenge, I chose a simple one, uncluttered and clean. It was called Misty Look. You may visit it on this link.

Moments cherished, memories kept, dreams fulfilled and little things that make every day a blessing.
