Today (your) Daily Bailey was featured on the front page of WordPress in the Freshly Pressed section. The Freshly Pressed Blogs are hand-picked by WP Staff from the hundreds of thousands of blogs posted that day. They choose only 10 blogs to feature each day, and I am so honored that my blog (Day 11’s entry to be exact) was chosen.
I’m shocked and excited by it all. Heck, I have only had my blog for less than 2 weeks. I never thought I would receive that honor, let alone so soon in my “blogging career.” I have had a hard time pulling myself away from my computer and WordPress all day. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a boost to my ego. It’s a validation for me…. that my photography IS worthy of being seen, and someone thought that it was good enough to share with such a wide audience. It is a huge compliment. There is so much more that I want to say, but I am just feeling so overwhelmed by it all. This blog was never really intended to be about words anyway.
I just want to thank everyone who has checked out my blog today. I have gotten such a ridiculous amount of page views today, many many wonderful comments, and many new subscribers as well. I do hope that you stick around and you continue to enjoy my posts and my photos. But even for all those “one click wonders” who may never come back, thanks for visiting. You were one more person that I was able to show share my art with.
Bailey’s ego has been boosted as well. Probably because I made the mistake of telling him that he is famous now. Look at his grin in that photo ; )
