Day 100. Im a Centenarian at Wealthy Affiliate 02 May 2015
I’m a Centenarian at Wealthy Affiliate 02 May 2015
Ha! I’m a Centenarian! Or do I mean a Centurian? I'm a 100 days old in the WA today. How 'bout that? Do you think I might receive a congratulatory message from a President? Oh by the way, coincidently, I’m rated as: ShirleyWoonPremiumTop 100.
100 days old today in Wealthy Affiliate, and haven’t gone bonkers with all the “Geeky Jabber” being spouted by Old timers and young and old newbies alike. I'm so intimidated by the way these blogs are peppered with impressive “Internet Speak” like SEOs, Bounce rates, Site maps, Marketing Tools, Mobile algorithm etc., etc.
I have to say that I've enjoyed these last 100 days participating in the camaraderie with the WA Family, and very little time spent with the training courses. Ok, I know this should be the main reason for my being here, right? But I keep putting that off 'cos I found so much fun meeting the old timers and new members, reading all the blogs posted by diverse interesting people, not to mention the goldmine I found.
I know Kyle has advised not to neglect the lessons, and not to be too distracted by all the blogs, so I do apologise to you Kyle. I promise to eventually get down to it as there's no hurry, right? Assuming I'll reach my threescore and ten years.
Coming back to ShirleyWoonPremiumTop 100 ; The Top 100 got my attention and I thought I should know what this is all about. So I clicked the Rank icon at the top of my profile page and this is what appeared:
My Status: Top Helper
So while I’m here on this page I thought it might be a good idea to understand what all the grafts means, for instance; Helper Rank: 52, Points: 2087 since Jan 23rd 2015 and Change 89; each of the grafts is a date, and it would seem the last one shown is May 2nd and earned 89 points.
Then Creator Rank: 487; Points earned Since Jan 23rd 196 and change is 25 for May 02nd. My creativity is obviously very low down.
Activity Rank: 79; Points: 2,379 earned since Jan 23rd, and change is 77 for May 02nd. Activity lower than usual.
Finally, Member Rank: 87; Points: 5,381 earned since 23rd Jan, and change is 191
So, while all these is well and good, I still haven't the foggiest how all these points works to lead me to the Top 100. For instance, I haven't posted any useful blogs, so I suppose that would be my dismal showing on the Creator Rank. Anyway, how the ranking works is a mystery that I'm not going to try and understand. But I'll just leave it to the powers that be make it happen. The final analysis would be these ranking doesn't help me one jot to learn anything.
I believe they're there to encourage us to participate in the activity of the WA community, which is to share and help each other, by posting our blogs, leave our comments as appropriate, ask and answer questions. Leave our Ranking to happen as it will and not agonise over why it's not working for you etc.
I know I'm rambling here a bit, but my point would be that for any Newbies who is hankering after the Top Ranking, I would suggest you concentrate on your Training courses and Lessons, while joining in the activity of the WA community as mentioned above. I do however advise reading the blogs and comments. I've always said there are a goldmine of information and tips.
So.....now I've got these off my chest, how about we lighten up now and wish me 100 days birthday? Enjoy the WA, family, you're all the best, the creme d'la creme or do I mean Second to none?
God bless the WA family, our founder members Carson and Kyle, and if you're reading this post, blessings for you....

Shirley, Congrats, You're personality alone makes you more than the top 100. I really enjoy your presence here at WA. I'm looking forward to reading your site. Wish you the best. :)) plus, What would Steve do without you. Lol :))
Hi Evelyn, personality? What's that? If you want personality, I invite you to read my Day 41 blog if you haven't yet. Now that guitar player has some personality in his fingers alone.
Oh dear, about that site, it's still very much work in progress, don't hold your breath, still got a lot to learn. Thank you for your kind encouragement dear, means a lot for me. Blessings....

I can't believe it's been a 100 days Shirley! And seeing all you have written in this post shows how far you've come already. I hope the next blog post we get is one where you're showing off your website as well as having it bring in a sizable income!
Hey Vitaliy, my hero Guardian Angel! I can't believe you're the first to notice, but I should have known better. Yes I'm working on it,,,but don't hold your breath! I've got a dim idea what to do now.
Thank you so much for always being there dear. God bless you....

Hi Shirley, you don't look a day over 100 :). Congratulations on reaching a milestone in WA and for being in the Top 100.
By the way, I was only kidding about the age, your profile pic is so cute.
Lis.
Hello Lis, greatly appreciate your dropping by here. No problem about age as I have no issues with it. Actually I like hiding behind that little cute kittie. Also I hid some of my younger self pic when I was 29 in my profile page if you're interested. Blessings....
Shirley
They are fantastic pics. It is always difficult to imagine what someone looks like with just a name. It is nice to meet you, Shirley.
About your site is it going to be on kittens? because your pictures are so adorable and are they all your kittens?
I miss having a pet due to the hours I work, it would not be fair on the animal.
Blessings to you and your son.
Lis.
Sadly the kitties aren't mine, they're all pics collected from the internet, 702 to date. I can't have pets as I live on the 19th flr. And no, they will not be featured in any website at all except as attachment to WA friends as I find they express my feelings very well.
My first hidden pic was taken in 1971 at 26yrs, second 1985 at 40yrs taken for my ID, just 3 days after my youngest's birth. And the third one in London 1974. I was 29 then. The visible front profile would be me 50 years ago when I was 20.
Yes Lis, I'm putting this out for the world to see, so I have no issues with age, still feel the same as when I was 20. One day when I can find them I'll put up the latest pic of me. My hair is all white now but I still wear them long.
Thank you for your interest Lis, you're so kind. God bless...
Shirley
Shirley I checked out your pictures of you back in the day. What a hot mama you are. :))
You're cheeky Evelyn, hot mamma indeed. Any way if you're interested in the age timeline, check out the comments I made to Lis above or would it be below now? So...did you check out my guitar player yet?
I thought the third pic was London but wasn't quite sure.
Thank you for beauty.
Lis :)
You're so welcome. The Kittie's a real Beauty like you
