Thanks man! It really took me back to those early days of 2017 when I'd spend hours researching and writing a post with no comments. Then it dawned on me that because I was new, no one so much as knew I was here!
So I started leaving comments (again, thoughtful), on the posts of other bloggers, and that's where I got my first big upvote. It wasn't on a post, it was on a comment. I'll never forget it, it was someone from Australia and it was for like $0.25 cents, which was unthinkable to me at the time. That one upvote was the shot in the arm that I needed and the proof that someone had actually seen my work. After that, it was off to the races!
More engagement is the key. Love it.
Cheers for the words of encouragement!
