  8. Getting hacked last week has caused minor disconnects on our site.
    Thank you for giving us a chance to handle construction while reading your favorite Contributors.

    Please Pardon Our Construction.

    WordPress is working around the clock to resolve the bloggers hacked last week on Twitter. WordPress wasn’t hacked, individuals were.

    Thanks
    Melinda

      1. My site is me reaching out, hopefully letting others know they are not alone – there are many male survivors of CSA and too many think they’re the “odd” one – that no other guy has been through anything like their struggles. If I can help one understand they are not alone and it’s ok to hurt — I am more than blessed.

          I am very interested in learning more myself from a male side of view. Did you spend some time on the site to feel comfortable with the group and our message? I dropped by your site but didn’t have a chance to ready many post. I write about many topics, you can find me under Looking for the Light, and take a look at the wide variety of topics. Most others write on one topic for the most part. I just want you to feel comfortable or answer any questions. Then we can get into the nuts and bolts.
          I look forward to talking with you again.
          Melinda

          1. I’ve been walking may way through a few of the categories – Aging, Child Sexual Abuse (most of my time), Depression, Fear and Anxiety, PTSD, and survivors Some of what I read connects, some doesn’t – guess that makes it like most blogs 🙂

        1. Hi Chris
          Talking thru email was my next suggestion, glad we think alike. You can reach me at msandorm@verizon.net. I read the long version and will read shorter today and spend time reading to get a feel for your approach. I think we started talking shortly after you joined WP and somehow lost touch.
          I believe we have some things to talk about and can work out a positive for both of us.
          Talk to you soon.
          🙂

  24. Hello! I nominated you for the Liebster award.

    This is an award for new bloggers with less than 200 followers.

    This a great way to do some networking. The Liebster award nominees are chosen by fellow bloggers. Each blogger that accepts chooses 11 other blogs to nominate, and so on, so it helps those of us with few followers get out there and be seen.

    If you choose to accept the nomination, there are a few things for you to complete and post on your site. Take a look at the requirements, you can see them at the link to my Liebster award post, then see what you think.

    After you select your nominees, feel free to cut and paste parts of this message in order to make your own version. That is what I did.

    You are not obligated to participate, but it would be very beneficial for you to do so.

    The details and questions are in my post at
    http://robertmgoldstein.com/2014/12/15/leibster-award/

    I was nominated by Lisasretro at lovemylifeanyway.
    You can find her post with her questions and answers at
