thanks bro~
Hi Monica !! Long time no see
June~ how are you? Thanks for dropping by. Long time no see
Yeah I was wondering how did you get all of your followers? Yes I just started my blog but I DESPERATELY need more people reading. I hate the feeling of a ghost town everytime I log on to WordPress.
Ah, I only have around 50 wordpress followers here, actually. The rest are linked in my social network accounts like Facebook and Twitter. I guess it helps when you try to go and read other blogs that interest you, then like and comment some posts. They might visit your blog and if they like it, they might follow it, too
Hope this helps
What Monica suggested is pretty much what you have to do. When you have a following, you got to interact with it. Any kind of positive initial interaction will pique a future follower’s interest and it increases the probability that you’ll get a hit. This includes responding to any comments that you get on your blog and commenting on blog posts that you actually like. I’m not a big-hitter like Monica or anything, but that’s how I’ve gotten my 45 followers so far.

Hi Monica! I love your blog.

Thanks for stopping by!
Hey, I love the layout of your blog. Just a question though, How did you manage to link your categorized posts in a different page? I can’t seem to do it in my blog.
Hello there and thank you for checking out my blog. I am no expert on this, but will try to help you as much as I can.
First, if you want to create pages or tabs on top of your page, you must check if your current theme supports them. Some don’t, so you have to be careful when selecting a theme. You can do this by having the preview first and see if tabs are supported.
If your theme supports it, the next task is to go to your dashboard. Click Pages on the left bar, then go to “Add new page”. It will be just an ordinary page so it is up to you whether you want to fill it with something.
Next is for putting categories in a page – creating that dropdown list of some kind. To do that, head over to your dashboard again and this time go to Menu. From there, you can add pages and categories. Choose categories that you want and just drag them literally under the page u want them to be. The categories under the page will look like to be indented.
That’s it! I hope I have helped you with your question. Should you have further query, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks. This has been very helpful
You are most welcome! You may let me know how it turns out
It turned out well. I was able to create the drop box buttons as well as categorized pages. Thanks a bunch
Wow! Now you’re set to have a better layout. I am glad I helped
Hello Monica, thank you for liking my review of Carry Me Home. It was seriously amazing. Do you have a GoodReads account by chance? I’m in desperate need of GoodReads friends so there is actual activity when I log in. In any case, nice blog, and I’ll be sure to visit often. Thanks again for stopping by IMDbrian!
Hello there. Thank you for dropping by. Yes, I have Goodreads account and would love to have more friends. You may search Monica Calangian and I will appear there. Well, my account, that is.
Hi! I am blog TeenageUnemployment. I had a question for you. I am wondering if you are experiencing any of the issues I talk about in my blog? I am trying to summarize project and I am wondering if people from other countries are experiencing what I am in the States. Thanks for a great blog!
Hello there. Thanks for dropping by. I am in early twenties and currently employed, but I can understand some of your posts. I think it is almost the same in other countries. I admire you in having the guts to tackle the issues you are facing at the moment.
Thank you so much. Your kind words reassure me that others believe the same thing you spoke about. Happy Holidays.
You are most welcome. We are entitled of our own opinion, but yes, sometimes it is nice to have others share the same sentiment,
happy holidays, too!
I am enjoying your blog. Thanks .
Thank you, Dan. I’m glad you do.
Great blog. Keep up that level of writing and you’ll be a diplomat in no time

Monica…THANKS for being one of my FIRST LIKERS on my NEW blog! I am not a blogger at heart, though I really wish I was, but am trying a new approach in 2013. I am a freelance editor, mother of 4, new blogger and soon to be a newly published author. So thank YOU for being one of the first to take the leap of faith with me in my new blog. If you get a chance I’d love a few LIKES on FB–thanks! Happy FRIDAY! Love the blog….
Hi there, Savannah. Thanks for dropping by. I like your blog. I am happy that you found WordPress. Isn’t it the best blogging platform?
Wow. Good luck in your writing and I hope all goes well with your new publication
Thanks a bunch Monica! I was told a long time ago to do blogging, but my stubborn old self said NO WAY! Now I will give it a try because maybe it is not so bad. Ha-ha! Thanks for the support.
I would like to say thank you to whoever persuaded you to do blogging.
I will be supporting you.
I have a question though. It seems I cannot go to your site. It directs me to a page I can’t do or see anything.
hi ate nica!! I made a new blog and we happen to have the same layout.. I’m a bit confused sa tabs. How did you do yours?? Manythanks!
Yay! Tabs? Hmm. Create a new Page in your dashboard. Then title it and put the desired position in your site.
I sorta figured it out pero how come the category i made did not appear under the particular page??? here is the link sa site ate ohh.. have a look. under the literary pieces na tab is supposedly “poetry” na categories. http://cruzinsteph.wordpress.com
Will it said “Ask Monica”….so I am asking: How are you Monica? I received your tweet about the Mango Coconut Rice Pudding. Hope you can make it, since these food idem’s are abundant in the Philippians try it you’ll like it.
Also want to “Ask Monica”..have you visited my new web site/blog: http://www.savorthefood.com and the blog Fun with Food at http://www.savorthefood.com/blog? If not link over and take a look, enter your e-mail while your there to never miss out on future post from Fun with Food.
I seen your following Monica, wow big number almost 4,000 and 50,000 hits, wow. Keep up the great work!!
Regards,
Randall

Just a random question…
Did you get a new banner for your blog? Because if that’s not new, then I *really* have to pay more attention xD
