MASTER LIST https://tinyurl.com/mu5vjy48
Our team theme this month is “Aspirations: Blogging hopes, dreams, and goals”.
What does this word even mean?
It means "friendly to strangers". It is sort of an archaic word, of Greek origin, but in this case it fits the letter X, and our theme, very well. It refers to being welcoming to new arrivals, strangers, and visitors, and extending courtesy and trust to them. Which is essential in any community, online or offline. In the A to Z Challenge context, it can mean commenting on new blogs, encouraging new bloggers to join, sharing, commenting, helping others with practical advice. We might not know each other yet, online or offline, but welcoming new people into the community means that the blogosphere can not only survive, but thrive.
Find new bloggers in the challenge! Read Theme Reveal and A posts to see if they mention joining for the first time, or returning after a hiatus. Make sure you comment on their posts and support them. This challenge has been much larger in past years, and it is still a thriving community. Let's welcome everyone! :)

Great word! Love it!

Learned a new word today ...thank you because I love to learn something new every day and I couldn't agree with you more about welcoming newbies. We were all new once. I remember when this blogging challenge had over a thousand people... we need to get them back into it. It's going to take X-treme Measures
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Jamie (jannghi.blogspot.com): A new word to me!
ReplyDeleteXenodocial is a good x word and one that we all practice even if we don't realize it.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
Another new word, though these words beginning with X are a bit of a mouthful.
ReplyDeleteThanks :). Brizzymay
X is for... what?
ReplyDeleteMine is not as complicated as yours! With you, Xorns.

A new word for me and one I won't be adding to my vocabulary since I don't have a clue how to pronounce it. My X was a slight cheat since the complete title of my post is "X is for the X in the Margins."
ReplyDeleteNew word for me! I was actually successful in finding an Attribute of God that begins with X vs settling for eXalted or eXcellent! :)
ReplyDeleteA new word! It's always fun to see how other A to Zers treat X. Yes, for the most part (I've been blogging since 2009) I have found the blogging community to be welcoming. If only our society at large was!
