I had big plans for the Team Saturdazzle segment in 2025.
First, I was going to post content for the segment to be published each Saturday of the new year.
Then, I would attempt to generate a little readership for it by linking it through the blogosphere via other established blogs , memes, and various Social networking sites.
After a while, I would gauge interest in making it one of those segments that others could link their content to.
All these plans were contingent on stringing a number of Weekly Saturdazzle posts together.
the Jan 5th edition went fine, in the sense that there was a Jan 5th edition. I had a few ideas for this edition.
One idea came to me when I took my waiting with my Mom on one of her recent doctor appointments. She kept on talking about going to get cookies. My Mom often brings cookies up to her room which she gets from the dining room at the place where she and my Dad stay. Instead of eating her desserts in the dining room she brings them up to her room and puts them in her refrigerator aka the place where desserts go to die.

Overall the event was highly successful. My Dad kept on saying he didn't remember the last time someone came over to bake for him. We left a good amount of cookies in a tupperware on the table and took the rest home so none would be subjected to the refrigerator where desserts go to die.
The first comment of the year
To many. comments are the currency of the blogging world. To some, it's page views, but having someone stop by and write about your content is a gratifying thing. I blog for me. I would like to have a large readership, but it doesn't matter that I don't have much of one.
I post on other people's blogs and participate in their blogging events in part so either people will see and comment on my blog. But even when they don't I still like to post content here and comment on their content there.
SO it wasn't surprising on January 8th that I still did not have one single comment on any of my posts since last year. I was glad that I got 3 comments in somewhat rapid succession the next day. I work both my jobs in Wednesday and and in between them I stopped at McDonalsd for a snack knowing I wouldn't be eating dinner until 9:30. I got one of my favorite snacks, a deconstructed root beer float. That's my name for an ice cream cone and a glass of root beer,
While eating it, I remembered there is a way to post my content by sending an e-mail and did that. I posted it on here, and linked it to the Wordless Wednesday page of Comedy Plus. On Thursday Morning I received this nice comment from Sandee the proprietor of Comedy Plus. I received two more a few minutes later from another one of my posts.
Well that's it for this weeks installment of Team Saturdazzle. Next time I hope to actually release it on Satuday and not fix it in post.
