Yay! I've hit a YouTube Milestone!

YouTube Update!

8-21-2023 - 156 subbies and 100 videos. YouTube said my first 100 videos are experiments in filming.

Things are happening at YouTube. Software is being updated with a new look, buttons are being moved around and everyone will have an unique handle. At this point, I have 114 subscribers now and a Community tab. I was hoping to get the Discussion tab back because I was hoping to have my own forum there. As many of you know, I've been a moderator at a homeschool forum at a defunct website called Old Fashioned Living, and have participated in two other forums at Club Posh and Splitcoast Stampers. I posted a photo on my Community Tab - check it out

My original YouTube URL will still work - https://youtube.com/c/DoloresJRush

but my new one will reflect the changes happening at YouTube = https://youtube.com/@DoloresJRush

Rejoice with me! I made an YouTube milestone! I have 100 subscribers! Never thought other people than my friends would enjoy watching my content. Boy was I surprised when I received an email from YouTube last week stating I had reached the 100 subscriber mark. 

I really enjoy the video view counts and the comments because I would love to build a little community there, you know like an old-fashioned internet forum! I know how the subscribe button works. It has a little notification bell that works three ways -- 


When you click on the Subscribe bell, the little black bell level will notify you of all the videos I upload. The white bell means that you get notified once in a while when I upload a video and the slash bell can be used just to bookmark my site, but you won't get notified when I upload a new video. I used to be a moderator of the Parlor forum at the defunct website Old Fashioned Living and have been a member of two other forums at Splitcoast Stampers and Club Posh and now I have my own blogs. I miss that forum discussion part at YouTube. My video is like the beginning of a forum thread and the comments below are the discussion part of a thread. While I like praise, I also like chatting with friends. The internet has been great for making new friends, people I probably would never have met in my physical world. 

Let's party! YouTube Celebration video! Join the subbies rejoicing with me below in the comments! Woo Hoo! Thank you for subscribing to my channel! 

My youngest sister-in-law picked up this plaque at the Crackerbarrel restaurant gift shop last week to show me and we both laughed. 


Then I took a photo and sent it to a friend from my homeschooling days. I told this friend a few days before SIL found the plaque above that I sometimes feel like a square peg in a round hole and she told me that we can be Square Sisters together. smile! So, if you don't mind a kooky friend, come on over and subscribe on the black bell if you have a mind to and jump right in and make a comment. That would make my day special!
