I logged in to my blog, as I do every morning, and there it was - a pending comment. It stated that someone had stopped by, left a comment AND become a GFC member. How exciting! And thank you.
It got me to thinking about my very first GFC member. I know I don't have that many members, but the first stayed with me, especially since she writes about FOOD, glorious food. My first GFC member was Ann at Sumptuous Spoonfuls. I have a love/hate relationship with her blog. I love it because it's about food and the pictures are so magnificent. I walk away with a growling belly every time. My immediate thought is to run to my local market to pick up the ingredients and ehem impress my husband with my newly-found skills. (That's the hate part.) Sadly, my husband knows that's not my origination, but the end result would please him nonetheless - my belly stops growling.
Do you remember your first subscriber? Didn't it feel great to not be zero anymore? Someone was actually subscribing. My little blog is growing one lovely member at a time. Stop by and tell me about your first member. Become a member of our community.

I do remember my first follower, Jane! What an encouragement that was for me. I stopped by because of a comment you wrote on Marci's blog where you mentioned losing a baby. That just happened to our dil, and we were all just devastated. I wanted to stop by to give you a virtual hug!Also, I am your newest follower! :)
ReplyDeleteSusan,
DeleteYou have no idea how perfect your timing is. Thank you for the virtual hug and for stopping by. Comments are great. Virtual hugs are priceless. God bless your heart.
