Wow! To think one year ago today, I began the Morning Coffee blog! Over the year, I have gained many diehard followers and over 92,000 visits from every corner of the world!
I had been on Facebook for many more years than I care to contemplate, though I never allowed myself to en mass hundreds of "friends"; I kept that number down to under 20. 20 friends was enough; it still required an hour or so every morning to "check in" - I can only imagine the slog someone with several hundred "Friends" would have to go through to effectively be present! No wonder people on Facebook are just so emotionally fried! My only contribution was a Daily Meme (check) and posting some missive or snark (check and check).
With SCROTUS back in power and the Tech Bros lining up to kiss his ass, along with the infiltration and proliferation of AI in the social media platforms (Meta) I had enough of feeding Zuckerberg's algorithms. Around January 5, I began deleting the content of my Facebook account (it took a couple days of just going through my feed to delete years of identifiable photos, pseudo-personal information, like content and personal postings), then on January 9, I said good bye and deleted the account That afternoon, I created "Morning Coffee", and have posted memes, missives and snark every day ever since.
Sidebar note:If you decide to leave Facebook, you should delete or change your personal data first, anything that has your face, your family, your property, vehicles, change your birth date, address, phone numbers, etc. give that deletion and those changes at least 24 hours to proliferate to all of the Meta servers, and then delete your account.
So I am here! It's been a very enjoyable and somewhat cathartic year. I am just overjoyed that you folks have found Morning Coffee, and popped in for a visit! I have also met some great people in this blogosphere; Ricky, Debra, Pat, Leanna, Infidel, Mitch and MM - thank you for your advice and support!

Congrats on the Blogversary! We're happy to have you aboard, Rade!
Congratulations! I'm sure there will be many more years to come.
I enjoy your blog! I may not comment every post but be sure I view them all!!!! I noticed these days the more popular blogs seem to be where the blogger replies back to comments...I never did that in my beginning years, but then started doing so about 9 years ago...and it starts a nice conversation, lets the commentor know you care about their comments and visit and gets commenters at times talking with each other... and then forms a community. Glad you part of mine.
Bravo!
Happy Blogoversary to you! Wishing you many more.
Thank you! Glad for the company!
Thank you, Infidel!
I also cherish the dialogs with the commenters. I may not respond to every one, but I read them all. Thank you, MM!
