When
people are asked to describe what Scribbles is all about, it can be pretty hard
to define.
For the
most part, Scribbles is a place where the stories of our friends (or Scribbles “family”
as I like to think of you as) are given the same type of spotlight other
websites reserve for celebrities and reality stars. Friends, their kids and
their pets...all are main events on Scribbles and have been since day one. But
really there’s more to us than that.
We often
feature original Scribbles Videos, adding an element we could never offer back
in our actual hardcopy magazine days. We have a You Tube page which features
over 100 original Scribbles Videos and Clips.
Our Right
Sidebar is a wealth of info...Our One-of-a-Kind Scribbles Friend of the Day, Events
listings, Your Businesses, Scribbles Archives and a Memorial section are just some
of the things you will find in this sidebar, which stays with you no matter
what Scribbles page or post you are enjoying.
Sept. 1,
2015 will officially mark Scribbles 36th Anniversary. It’s funny
that many of our friends weren’t even born when we scribbled up our first
little hand drawn book and called it SUNNY Digest.
It can
sometimes be a bit mind-blowing, to know that those little books and all forms
of Scribbles that have followed it over the years, are all sitting here in my
home. It’s quite a collection.
Why this
hobby has continued all these years is simple. Despite me thinking of
abandoning Scribbles a time or two in the past, the truth is, for my own mental
wellness, I need to keep creating Scribbles, far more than even our most devote
friends need to follow us.
I say
Scribbles is “All About You” which is actually all about my perception of you
and the wonderful things you do. I love sharing your adventures with other
awesome people. That’s one thing about Scribbles that really makes it
unique.
For the
most part, I know all the people that are featured or reading Scribbles. We’ve
worked together, or went to school together, or dated, or met thru another
friend....one way or another, there is some link between us, which is why I
have added Our Scribbles Connection to our posts, so you can see how we are
linked.
When I look
at Scribbles administrator info and see that we average about 100 visits to our
site every day, it makes me feel happy and proud. 100 visitors may not be much
to some, but in our case, there’s a very good possibility that I know almost
all the people who popped by and checked out Scribbles today. And I’ll probably
know most of tomorrow’s 100 or so wonderful people who will come by as well.
Facebook,
Twitter, You Tube..,..they have millions of hits a day and despite how much
personal info they seem to keep getting their hands on, they could never say
they really know each and every person who clicked on their site on any given
day.
Scribbles
knows our readers by name. We have for 36 years and we like it just that way.
