I am NOT a member for 21 hours and 58 minutes!

Hello everyone.

This is indeed a strange way to get started. I'm getting started with a complaint.

Allright, I admit I haven't been the most active teammate, but to say I registered TODAY is a bit too much. It seems my password was expiring due to lack of use. I perfectly remember when this same site was really, really humble. It was so humble and it had such scarce references to my own country (Portugal), that I was a bit disappointed. I didn't find people or groups from my country yet, because I came straight to the blog. But one thing is for sure, I can see the site came out beautifully. Congratulations to whoever is responsible.

Should I start posting in Portuguese? I'd like to know if it's worth it, I mean, do I have an audience? I'd like that very much. I once had a blog (in Portuguese) all about spirituality, but I had no comments (apart from the ones a friend of mine made), so I trashed it. I hope this is the right place for such a blog.

I hope this is the first of many posts!

P.S. - I'm not writing from the past, this is not the January 1st, 1970!!! I hope the date doesn't come out the way I've seen it in preview!

Strange.

Yes, I was also a bit confused starting this. I did´t have any blog. Then I had a mail telling me that I had??? But, why not. I can write something now and then. But in English? I will try. Nice to meet you stranger. Nice to have a new friend.

Namaste,

Ingrid

Wow, I had feedback!

Hi Ingrid!

It's the August 29th and I've just seen your reply! I guess I'm slightly late! xD I never expected feedback, maybe because at the time I wrote this I realized there were already so many active blogs (and such strange posts, too). I guess after this I'll be returning more often. So you're Norwegian! I can't keep from noticing the irony of such a cold country having such warm people! Thank you for your comment!

Namaste,

Zephyr

Welcome to the new site, Zephyr!

Hello, Zephyr. I'm glad you like the new site. All of us involved in dreaming it, constructing it and fine tuning it hope that you'll find it useful for keeping up with what's going on in Humanity's Team Worldwide and for finding and communicating more easily with Teammates who share mutual locations, languages and interests.

Your account shows that you've only been in the HTWW database for a short time because we had to migrate all of the database records from the old system to the new one, and unfortunately it made everyone look "new." Of course, that's not always bad either, right??!!

I'm not sure what you were referring to about the date being far in the past. When I previewed this blog comment, it showed today's date, so please tell me more specifically what appears to be working incorrectly. THANKS!

As far as what language to post in, that's really your decision. You can find others from Portugal or Brazil by clicking on "Portuguese" in the Primary Language field of any Teammate's record.

Again, THANKS for visiting our site.

All the best of love,

Chip

I must say I really love the look of the new site. I think it couldn't look better. And I didn't realize that everyone "turned new" due to the migration of the database records. Thanks for explaining! I thought it happened because I didn't come here for a long time.

About the wrong date, that only happened when I previewed the post. So after I posted it I saw it was correct after all.

As I commented earlier, I wasn't expecting any feedback, and specially to be honored with a welcome comment from one of the creators of the website! Thank you for your interest! It took me a few months to return here, but now I'm definitely coming back soon!

Thanks again,

Zephyr
