Twittered

Twittered, I think that what you could call it at least that is my name for what happened yesterday to my blog. As a very keen blogger I check my site stats on a regular basis, so I known how many people normally visit in a day. So imagine my surprise when the visitor figures jumped up by 100%. My first reaction was that they were all lost, but on checking where they had come from it was all from the same place, Twitter! Now I’ve never twittered, not even one small tweet, so I have no idea why these people are visiting, not that I’m complaining the more the merrier, but if someone could enlighten me as to the reason for all these new readers, I would be very happy.

The next post will be the Blog of the week post, this week’s has already been picked, but as I have said before if you know of any good blogs let me know and I’ll give them a look. Also I am looking for guest bloggers so again if you want to have a go or would like to volunteer someone I will see what I can do.

Photo today is of a pink flower, I have no idea what it is, but it look so pretty covered in the rain drops.

Yes, that flower is pretty covered in those raindrops. I'm glad you're getting more exposure for your blog. I'm sure someone who regularly reads your blog has a twitter account and has twittered about you/ your blog. Have a nice day.

I think the flower is called something "sweet-brier" that's the best translation I found. I think your idea about guest bloggers is great. Do you want them to write well or photgraph well? :)

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit...

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s ...

Have you ever put something off, that you really should have done, I have, getting assessed for dyslexia. Nearly my whole life I have had problems spelling, and have done every thing to avoid getting tested, why, because I was scared that I would not have it and be told I was just thick or lazy. Well yesterday I got tested, and the results surprised me. First I was informed that my reading ability was good to high, next I was informed that I have an IQ of over 120 (140 and over Genius or near genius 120-140 Very superior intelligence 110-120 Superior intelligence 90-110 Normal or average intelligence 80-90 Dullness 70-80 Borderline deficiency Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness 70-80 Borderline deficiency 50-69 Moron 20-49 Imbecile below 20 Idiot.) They have changed the lower classification for a more PC wording but this is the original. Lastly I was informed that I am Dyslexic and my writing and spelling were well below what my intelligence suggested (that why it takes me forever...
