I'm thinking of starting by going back over people who chat with me in the last few weeks. People who show up and chat are priceless. Just keeping up with them will become complex! It's what I use to do when I was building my first blog back in ... the dark ages.

Yup, back in the dark ages. I feel you. Plus I still have 10,000 on my facebook pages I have not invited yet. This is like starting all over again lol. I wish you much success!!
