Dear WordPress-Grandma Says Not to Use the Word Hate-But
I thought that you ought to know that I have come to hate the category 1.
Now, you might think that I’m some crabby little chick whining about some
little annoying, but insignificant, thing and that I can’t keep my mouth shut.
But, what I’m here to tell you is that I am so tired of retrieving my incredibly
thought-provoking, brilliant, sensational masterpieces from the CATEGORY
known as 1 that I could stand on the street corner and scream my little
head off. But, I won’t. I enjoy my freedom.
***
Could we compromise and call it “1 in Limbo” or how about
“1 Step Away From Being Famous”
or perhaps, “1 More Reason to Love WordPress”?
***
But, 1, simply becomes forgotten. And, all of a sudden, you have 25
posts entitled 1 and then, it becomes a chore to go back and rename
all of them.
***
Perhaps, something repulsive would encourage the writers in the 1
Category to get back in there and do something about it. But, the
number 1 just isn’t very threatening. Attach some ominous warning to the
dashboard such as: Those posts residing in the number 1 category will be
assigned to jury duty or perhaps, scrubbing toilets or washing windows at
the www.wordpress.com World Headquarters.
***
And, have you ever went to the WordPress.com dashboard to claim
your beloved post? It is like picking up your cute little puppy at the dog
pound.
***
Perhaps, there is a stigma attached to having your favorite poem or prose
sitting in the number 1 category for days, weeks, months, or even a year. If so,
maybe you could rename it something like “Candidates for MENSA” or perhaps,
“On the Waiting List for Harvard Law School” or just, “Who’s Who Among
WordPress Bloggers”.
***
I like that one best: “Who’s Who Among WordPress Bloggers”. It sparkles. It’s
honorable. It would make Momma proud. And, if Momma’s happy, nothing
else matters.
***
Thanks for your consideration.
