The power of clicking the Like text,
This post is mainly directed at our new members here at WA, but I think a reminder for everyone including myself is good for our community.
WA is a community driven program, and here at WA we highly promote communtity involvement. The little thumbs up sign with the like text is a important part of community recognition.
When we click on this thumbs up, it instantly states, that a members questions or comments, and/or content are valued among our community.
It also states that the member is valued within our community. Have you noticed someone who is maybe struggling a little bit today, or maybe having an off day, a kind word, and a thumbs up will go along way to bringing support to our member in need, and has the power to make the sun shine once again.
As we go forward each day, and strive to be all we can be, let us not forget to give the thumbs up, job well done, fellow member confirmation.
Thx, Gary.......

Yes, my name is Sandra! Some think it is annoying but I believe it a way to acknowledge what someone has said!

Thanks for mentioning this Gary. A "Like" and a comment keep the WA world turning. But if you don't actually like the post or the comment keep your finger off the mouse when it reaches for the "Like" button. I like your post so I voted with my mouse but I only do that for worthy efforts. ~Marion
With a comment like that above...how in the world could I NOT give a thumbs up !?
How about TWO thumbs up?
Oops...WA will only allow me to do one... :(

Totally agree, Liking also let's new members see that the community is alive even if a comment isn't made. Sometimes we could spend all our time in the community and not doing other work.
Isn't that the truth, I do enjoy interacting with our great community, and often have to discipline myself to get to work on my websites...lol..so much fun. Thank you for your comment Mike...Goodluck to you!!!
I totally agree w you Gary. Not only is it nice to get a thumbs up, but it reminds us that people are reading what we write even if they don't comment.
Yeah, Sugar, I was just thinking I meant to discuss leaving comments, and I forgot...oh well..... have a great day, and thank you for your nice comment!!!
Agreed, Gary. A little acknowledgement never hurt anyone and it can give folks just the encouragement they need to keep going!
Yes it does, there has been a few times, when I needed a hand up, and the WA community has always stepped up to the plate...... a lot of really special people in our community for sure!!

I will make sure to hit the like button a little more often. I admit to forgetting to do so when I make a comment on a post I like. I will keep this in mind so make sure people know their comments, thoughts, and questions are valued. Thank you for the reminder!
