Starting a Hive Community as a Silver-Haired Babe meant I was bound to make a couple of boobs along the way (not that kind guys!) I meant to say...a couple of blunders!
So...being impulsive and always up to a challenge, I blindly followed through on the tongue-in-cheek suggestion by 
I was truly lost in the wilderness until I turned to two very special wise souls for guidance, and am forever thankful to Sassy LUT and Sterling Silver for getting me off the starting blocks.
My friend Sterling Silver in turn suggested I headhunt the super-talented Silver Flower, and I was tickled pink when she accepted the position of Admin. Needless to say, Fiona has decidedly proven to be irreplaceable, and I hope she will take over the reins when I start fading away, as the silver-blond has all but disappeared and become silver-grey!
Many of our veteran Silver Bloggers already know much of what I said in the intro, BUT...I now need to tell you all about the big blunder I made at the outset.
When stumbling along in the wilderness and as people subscribed, I pressed the 'follow' button from mother, as we call our community account, 
Wrong move!, and you'll understand why, if you read on.
If you were one of the approx 40 Silvers that received a notification from Gina this morning that mother has unfollowed you, you're not alone, and you have not done anything wrong!
Pssst, news just in, Gina was last seen on 10 October, has gone MIA, but you have other sources of information not so?
Back to the Unfollow - Nothing has changed as you will still get our full support with upvotes and reblogging, plus our delegators will still receive autovotes on their posts.
Our goal with this change is to streamline mother's page and keep it relevant to Silver Bloggers and other important announcements, therefore we are still following accounts like 
I hope this clarifies that keeping the accounts that mother follows to a minimum, is for the benefit of you, our Silver Bloggers.
No need to think you've done something wrong and will have to go and stand in the corner as we did back in my days at school - anyone remembers that?
If you have followed our community account mother, you will not miss any Silver Bloggers contests, prompts etc.
We look forward to seeing more of you join mother, and if you have any questions, pop over and have a peep at THE MENU - A Silver Bloggers Guide To The Hive-iverse. This extraordinary in-depth guide has been produced by our very own Silver Fish.
