I love reading blog posts featured on WordPress Freshly Pressed.
Some posts are hilarious, thought provoking, and simply brilliant. Travelling with Freshly Pressed bloggers resembles wandering down diverging paths in the woods. Some take you to a hidden path with a sudden turn. Some surprise you with glorious wild flowers along the muddy path. Some paths lead to wonders, such as a wild dear and a half-dead rabbit.
If you’re brave enough, you will venture into an uncharted territory. A new world appears before your eyes. You may also stumble on history, like discovering an unused railway line along a neglected stream.

Love it … thanks for the giggle. I’ve been blogging since February 2010 and I’m “NOT YET” also.
ditto! It’s so frustrating!
I’m the kind of person who has never won in a lucky draw. As a non mathematician, I think the probability of being Freshly Pressed is low. Some bloggers got Freshly Pressed almost instantly when they first published a blog. Some people got Pressed more than once and they’re showing off their Freshly Pressed badges. Some people will never win in a lucky draw. I think I’ve worked it out. I love my new badges.
Hang in there – in my case it was a total surprise. I’e been writing my blog for almost 2 years. It’s no fun if you know it’s coming!
Than you sfnowak! I’ve been to your blog — and you’re also waving your badge too! Well done!
I really love the WordPress community — pressed or not pressed!
Neat blog about freshly pressed! thanks for sharing!
Freshly pressed is bazare. I just saw a freshly pressed blog after 2 posts? I think they are full of themselves. I’ve seen so many blogs that really deserve it , but never have been FP’d. I’m going to use this badge on my blog, is it ok?
Dear Al,
I totally agree with you. I like the varieties in the non Fresh Pressed world. Feel free to take the badge. Thanks for asking. I should design more badges.
