Promoted on Wordpress.com! Yay!

I apologize for "tootin' my own horn" - - - but I just couldn't help it.  :-)

I recently moved my photo blog  http://thrumikesviewfinder.com to Wordpress.com to be hosted there.  Within a couple of days, my most recent post about "Canyonlands Nat'l Park", got promoted to the Wordpress.com home page.  Man, you talk about a BUMP in hits - from almost nothing to over 700 the first day.  Yeah, yeah, I know - for many of you that's not that many, but for me, it's BIG!  :-)

Wordpress.com

Anyway, I knew that you folks, of all the people I know, would appreciate this the most so I wanted to share my success with you - I realize it can be fleeting, but it sure is fun when it happens!

Plus, I truly feel that all of the practice, comments, and support I've been so fortunate to receive right here on Activerain has helped me immensely.

So thanks to all of you for all of your help during the past months - I do appreciate it!

Mike, that is an awesome photo, you never cease to amaze me. I am not surprised you were noticed, I notice ya all the time, LOL.

I have a wordpress blog, but the free one. You have upgraded to a paid one I take it? I am loving what you are doing there, I will keep track of your photos. Thanks for the update.

Hey Andrea - Thank you - Ditto!  :-)

Randy - Yes there is - but a lot of it seems to circle back to AR.

Thank you, Gabrielle!  The only better compliment is when it is delivered personally like you just did.

Hi Mike:  Congrats and nothing wrong with you "tootin' your own horn" as you say.  I didn't take it that way and I greatly appreciate the info.  I used wordpress a long time ago but then found AR and WP fell to the wayside.  I guess I should give it another look.  I think it's outstanding that you got 700 hits!
