50 Follower Q&A? Something Else? You Decide!

Avatar of chesster3145

Hi all,

    Welcome to my second big announcement, this time about everything that's not a new series. In this post, I'll talk about a little blogging milestone I hit a short time ago.

    After all, I still need material in case I don't feel like doing one of our new series for a while.

    I hit 50 followers two or three weeks ago, and it's really bittersweet for me. Certainly it's the most I've ever had, but I can't say it's incredible and I can't give the standard politically correct thank-you speech here, because the only thing that's on my mind is how on earth our buddy @MiddlegamerUmesh already has 200. If he shows up, maybe he can tell me.

    In the meantime, though, we need to do something to celebrate. (Celebrate! Celebrate? I don't really know what to use here.) I had one idea which is in the title - a Q&A - but I'm really not sure what questions there are to ask or to be answered, and I don't have any other ideas for what to do. I really need your help here, comment section!

    I'll leave this one up to you. I'm counting on all of you to leave a comment saying what you want me to do for 50 followers. You can leave suggestions in the comment section, in my notes and in my portal in Blogosphere, a group I would encourage every last one of you to join.

    If there is a Q&A, I'll do it two different ways: through a blog post in addition to a real-time Q&A in Blogosphere which will run for about a week.

    Bye for now!
