Limb Stepping

This is scary but I’m doing it anyway. If you’ll notice I’ve got a new widget on the side of my blog that lists my most commented on blog posts in history. You’ll then notice that the top one has 107 comments. Back then there were more people I knew blogging. Back then there were more people commenting. These days comments are few and far between.

What’s that? What’s that I hear? Is that a challenge?

You’re on. You’re on like applesauce.

Lets see if we can break the odds, lets see if we can break 107. Is that possible? I realize I’m asking a lot. But the challenge has been made. I realize I’m asking us all to sacrifice. So lets make it easy, here are some suggestions, some ways that I think we can make it happen and also a few rules:

  • Just give a shout out- Tell me you’re there if you’ve never commented before
  • One idea is to follow suit of a status update from facebook and start a story by writing one line that the next commenter then adds to
  • Don’t comment 107 times in a row please, that would cheapen it a little bit
  • Share the love and invite a friend or two to help me reach this goal
  • Say whatever you want and just have fun with it…I know I will.

Oh, and one last thing…if I don’t get my comments I will be humiliated in front of all my friends.

Grandfather Ryan

I forgot that at one point I was the grandfather of a fledgling community known as the blogmunity (I realize that this is a common used word these days). Before I started blogging I knew a few bloggers. Tabitha. Ike. And maybe a few more. But the moment I began blogging I brought along my padawan Arwen. Shortly thereafter my wife, two sisters, and a number of other friends began blogging. At one point even my arch nemesis Raj Van Allen was an active part of the blogmunity.

With all that said, about a month ago I did the unthinkable and left blogger for my new friend wordpress. It was a neccesary but sad move, a move that I knew would one day happen. But what surprised me was the fact that my young padawan Arwen quickly followed me to the wordpress airwaves. It’s good to see that daddy still has some influence in his childrens lives. Enjoy wordpress R-1.
