Dear WordPress,
I know we just met. I really do. But it’s been three days now, and I’m beginning to feel like we’re on a different page. I have no friends, only one comment, and every time I try to search for friends, you bring me to some ‘Matt’ guy who likes to surf and already has about fifty friend request from me.
I’ve given you many posts, I have, I have, but haven’t received a shred of feedback. I’m essentially posting blogs for myself to read.
Went to ‘Public Works’ page earlier today. They seemed like a good friend to make. A good connection. But you wouldn’t let me post a comment. You hid the button from me, wordpress, why did you do that?
And then, when I sought out small profiles so that I could connect with human beings, you showed me to a page called ‘Gravatar’. First off, they look nothing like aliens, second off, gravator makes me feel pressured to dress up like an alien for my profile picture. I just want a normal picture, wordpress, just a ‘Picture of yourself’ would have been great.
Well, back to exiting my blog, and waiting for friends and followers… Though I know nobody is coming, and I have spent so much time already trying to get others to come. But you suck, WordPress, because you make it so hard to do the things I try to do.
You suck,
Thomas M. Watt
I feel you mister. Especially the Gravatar thing. keep up though, in the end, it is for ourselves that we do this, isn’t it?

Daaahhhaaw… You’ve come a long way, Mr Watt š Glad to see you stuck it out and have more than one comment and at least ‘a couple’ followers now haha
Haha, thanks so much Rae. Hope this is to your liking!
definitely. I try to go back and read everything when I find a blog I really like …and realized I hadn’t done that with yours yet. Still in August 2013… but you’ve got a couple giggles out of me š
Haha. I’ve gotten much better with time, I’m happy to hear that though!
Don’t we all š But yes, you can definitely see your personality in your early stuff… so that’s nice. Makes me feel like I’m getting to know you a bit, I guess. Can I ask how old you are, Thomas?
Sure, 26.
Ok, cool. I was imagining 25… but thought you might could be up to early 30s. Guess I was close enough š
