John J. Rigo’s name on the Veterans War Memorial in Mabank, Texas

John J. Rigo’s name on Veterans War Memorial in Mabank, Texas

As a senior, I know there is not unlimited time in my life to be in this world.  I believe we all want to leave some part of us in the world.  Something beside a tomb stone in a forgotten grave yard some place.  Perhaps the kind of grave yard where the tomb stone lays flat on the ground.  A place where machines run across huge expanses of tomb stones while mowing.

I am proud to say, there is a place marked for me.  It is a memorial of beauty in an East Texas town of Mabank, Texas.  The memorial is a salute to perhaps, some of the happinest days of my life.  It was my four years of active duty in the Air Force.  Knowing that this place exists where my name is among those who have served our country with honor, brings me a truly wonderful peace.

“The Gift of ‘Followers’ on WordPress” copyright 2012 John J. Rigo, Texas’ Commentator

Proposed Cover for my third non-profit poetry book.

I have been with WordPress with their free blog program for over five years.  My current blog, a poetry blog is my second posting with WordPress.  To date I have over 27,000 hits and 84 followers. 

In the beginning of my relationship with WordPress, I do not recall “Like” buttons or “follower programs.”  My interaction consisted of such with comments submitted.  I was not aware at the time, that a blog poster on WordPress could limit comments only to those WordPress members with blogs of their own. 

With my first poetry blog (which eventually got up to 25,000 posts at the time) I found many comments critical of my Christian religious beliefs.  I know I had the ability to delete such comments from being posted on my prior WordPress site, yet the intensity was such that I cancelled that first WordPress site.

On my second bout with WordPress, I cannot relate how wonderful and great my experience has become with WordPress.  The “Like” button gives me great satisfaction in knowing immediately which of my posts hit a cord with my readers.  My site as well as my two published books from 2005 are non-profit.  Any profits from my poetry work go to serve the “Homeless Cause in Texas.” 

My greatest gift with WordPress has been my “Followers” to date.  The immediate comment responses have become an important part of my day in my interaction with WordPress members.  I now think of many of my “Followers” as family members.  No where else can anyone find a finer group of members in any social type network.  Thank you WordPress for creating such an opportunity to have an important part of my life.

On this wonderful day celebrating the birth of our Nation I wanted to share this brief message.  My WordPress family, their sharing of themselves thru their comments on my own poetry side, as well as their individual blogs with WordPress, is a most wonderful daily gift to me.  Thank you to each one of you in my followers.  Have a safe and fun 4th of July this 2012.
