Very nice. I wonder. How they choose these. In the old days, I used to like looking at the Discover posts, but for the longest time it seemed like what they chose were posts that answered the silly Daily Prompts they come up with. At any rate, Congratulations and good to know they are choosing more interesting posts now!

Obviously, they are trying to encourage bloggers to read the posts of other bloggers, but I also wonder about the selection process. I am going to take their statement at face value and feel honored although a part of me wonders if AI is involved or if perhaps it is just a random process. On the other hand, I do know of a few other bloggers I follow who were selected for “Freshly Pressed,” and I felt they deserved the recognition.🤷♀️
