They pay attention." and I think that is the key to longevity and ultimately, success. May I ask a question, What is it about Wordpress that fuels your passion? @Lorelle, I love what you say, “blog with passion, and blog your passion, people notice. They pay attention.” and I think that is the key to longevity and ultimately, success.

May I ask a question, What is it about Wordpress that fuels your passion?

By the time I got to four, there were very few hands in the air. By the time I got to 5, there were no hands in the air but mine. I've been doing this blogging things before blogging had a name. Fifteen years to be an overnight sensation. What's even more amazing is how much "fame" I got once I started blogging on the FREE WordPress.com service. It's a limited free blog hosting service. I have very little control over my WordPress Theme. I can't add all the gadgets and whizbangs so many thrive on. It's about the blogging, not about the tweaking. I don't even have a direct domain name with that blog - and yet, that is the blog that most people associate with me and my online popularity. It is the one that now consumes most of my energy blogging. Just proves that most of the rules people think are rules are myths. It doesn't happen overnight and you don't have to do what every "how to blog" and "best SEO tips" blog post recommends. If you blog with passion, and blog your passion, people notice. They pay attention. Thanks for the reminder that success comes with hard work and patience.

It is all about building relationships with people. That's right, its the people behind the blog - not the blog itself that should be the focus our our attention. @Michael, that is the challenge for those of us leading the way, how to provide a learning experience that is meaningful.

With all of the great (and established) blogging brands out there, I think it's really easy for relatively new or just not mainstream bloggers to feel like they're the ugly kid at the party standing next to the wall watching all the cool kids get all the attention. (Man that example is probably a Freudian slip...) ;-) Anyway I think your points about taking time and following your own voice are critical for those of us that aren't shooting for top spot in Alltop. Shawn Greg,
