I’m very excited about being part of such a vibrant community (even though keeping up with the pace of development can be quite time consuming!) and I think it is very encouraging for newcomers to WordPress to have leaders in the field who are passionate about WordPress (e.g. Lorelle) , people that they can look up to and draw inspiration from, as well as fellow bloggers (e.g. Jonny) who use WP and add different perspectives.

I think I will be more considered when rambling about subjects other than WordPress (thank you for the comment about frustrating readers who are here for WP) and now can understand Jeffr0’s perspective more as well. I will most probably move such ramblings to a /blog subdomain (more reading to do!) but this is very sound advice, so thank you!

p/s: I had a brief fangirl moment when I saw the Lorelle had left a comment! ZOMG! And ZOMG again!

I love that so many people get so excited about all they are learning about WordPress, they want to share that love with others, even if they don’t blog about such topics on a regular basis. Many think there is money to be made by having a new WordPress-oriented blog. But it’s hard, as you have found out. By labeling your blog WordPress, writing about unrelated subjects frustrates those who desire only WordPress news and techniques. You are really restricted.

Finding something new to bring to the WordPress table is hard. Good luck to you for digging into the fun of WordPress and sharing your novel approach with others, and supporting the WordPress community. We need some fresh perspectives and energy to keep the jazz going about WordPress. WordPress is still using training wheels and I see it growing even more powerful in time. I’m so thrilled to be just a small part of that energy, aren’t you?
