Green Flamingobecause I said so

It has been exactly 1 year and 5 days since this blog, Green Flamingo was born. To me it is like a birthday, and I hope that Green Flamingo will have many more birthdays.

I have done some things to celebrate this event, because just like many others I will celebrate for birthdays.

First I have changed my theme back to what is was, what is was a year ago. I still love the theme, and I love my blog, so I seem to be crawling back into the state of mind I was in last year, though I have still expanded and I have learned the true ways of blogging through my year of experience.

I also am going to reflect on this blog, looking back on it. From my perspective right now, I have grown with this blog and it has grown with me, and together we have overcome hardships and rejoiced through progress. I remember a year ago my circumstances, my being, how I lived, how I was. I look back upon this to reflect who I was and who this blog was, and I am proud yet sad of the change that has passed.

Lastly I have decided to hold a little “contest,” though it is not of the normal sort as you will find now on about every blog in the blogosphere. I will tell people about my contest, though I will not exactly promote it, neither will any of the objectives to win include you promoting this blog.

It is called Green Flamingo’s Celebration Of Themes contest. Details will follow, and it is easy to participate in. As far as prizes go, I will give out small prizes, though I am not going to announce anything before hand. I hope that the winner of our celebration enjoys being honored too.

So, for one week we will celebrate the birthday of Green Flamingo, though we may carry the contest a little farther. I hope that you can look deeply into this blog to see why it is still up and running after a year.

So just stay tuned, there is no need to put on anything special, though try as much celebrating as you can. Believe it or not, everything has already started, and the contest begins right now!

Good night everyone, and I hope to see you in the near future.

I am very happy to say that there was a pagerank update, and I am at PR3! I am back!

In August, after the Pagerank update then, I worked very hard to get myself back to PR3 as I had been in July and for many months before that.

I am very happy that I was able to increase my PR so I do not have to feel bad about it and also I can feel like my normal self.

This really helps my blogging spirit!

-The Now Happy Green Flamingo

In Septemeber, out of the ordinary events were happening to blogs and bloggers.

Some of the bloggers I know best started the downfall, including me. New bloggers stepped up to the plate, trying to make their voice heard on the massive world of the Internet.

What also happened was the few that fell in July, including Stand Out Blogger, began to rise again.

Now in these first weak days of October some that fell try to rise again, Green Flamingo being one of them.

The pressure is on, now the returning blogs will have to work harder than ever to become again what they once were, and to flood themselves with traffic.

These bloggers have great ideas, and they try to plan and make everything perfect. Contests, new themes, anything to make people walk the streets again.

I however am one of those people with too many ideas, one who makes a plan then revises it, and then wants to put more in it. I have so many ideas of what to do, I have not no ideas.

I do not want you to have this dillemma, I want you to be able to carry out an idea and become succussful. Though I will envy your success and pity my failure, you must sometimes get with the flock and continue what is right.

You cannot feed of others for victory, but you cannot step away from the other people too much, or you will not succeed.

I hope my words were helpful to you, and not too solemn either. I think it may be time to change my writing style, or at least have a few sparks in it.

Well, this october includes the color green in the massive palette it already has. I have to say, I think October carries some of the most colors of all months.

I have even underdone my expectations for September, but I feel strong force from October, plus it was in October that this blog was created.

I am pondering on a change of focus and look, so be prepared!
