How to Make and Keep Triond Friends
Posted on January 4th, 2009 in Online Writing by Jenny Heart
How can little things we do for our Triond community bring forth a big impact?
If you’ve ever been a good friend to anyone, you know the first thing you did was always call them.when you said you would. then they knew you would be a true friend.
Never lie to them.
Form a bond of commitment.
Triond is great. It has many opportunities for all of us to have lots of friends, which will in turn help us by giving us honest advice about our writing. Never under estimate the power of friendship.
We’ll have tough times, and we’ll need our Triond community of friends to lead us down the right path.
Treat your New, and old Triond friends with great appreciation, far without them we wouldn’t have gotten this far.

What you said is true…regardless if in the triond community or your own personal set of friends-they are important..

Very short and to the point. We should all be grateful for the friends we’d made, and will continue to make, on Triond.

Keep up the good work.

Right on point!

Triond is a community like in real world! The same rules apply!
January 4th, 2009 at 7:43 am
I very much agree with what you said.
January 4th, 2009 at 9:25 am
I’m a stay-at-home mom. My Triond friends are like office mates.:D We’re all in this together.

Good article. Keep it up!:-)

Great Article!

Excellent article.
January 4th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Very good point. I remember when I didn’t know anyone on here. I love all my friends here. I am blessed to have all of you.
January 4th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Excellent Point!!
January 4th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
I’m new here but in a couple of days I could note that the sense of community is as important as the good writing, and that’s something nice to find.
January 4th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Great write! I totally agree with you. We are a family and should support each other.
January 4th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Great article! I have met many fine people on Triond, and we all support each other.
January 4th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Good advice…i’m glad to have been introduced to your writing.

Very nice article*
Blessings.

Excellent points. New and Old friends are very important and it’s extremely important to support one another.

Hi I am a newbie, just feeling my way round. As we have a new year, it’s my goal to get to grips with blogging and writing.
Just saying Happy New Year and HELLO. Love Magenta

Hi Im new to triond too. Having a bit of a problem, at present, with this making friends thing and I feel that Im imposing. As a newbie and reading some of the articles, it seems that lots of triond members appear too busy to accept new friends. It would be great if there was a message posting board here where new members could introduce themselves.

P.S. I also seem to be having difficulty sending comments, I often get told – bad string
January 4th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
I have trouble sending comments also. I have noticed that on some of my articles, IE wants to shut down. It would be hard for anyone to post on your article on some of the blogs. I agree with you, Erin Cree.

It is true we need each other.
January 5th, 2009 at 3:11 am
Good points! Trion is indeed a good place to find new friends.
January 5th, 2009 at 3:17 am
Very simple message, yet very useful and relevant. Triond’s community is actually pretty good – possibly 1 of the best among the other online publishing sites. Thanks for sharing this friendly reminder with us.
January 5th, 2009 at 3:57 am
Thank you very much. Short, sweet and clearly pointed.
January 5th, 2009 at 5:38 am
True that.
Dido to what they said up above. Very nice!
January 5th, 2009 at 6:02 am
Honest, short and straight to the point.
Well done.
January 5th, 2009 at 6:49 am
I am new here too and as others have commented, am having a hard time making friends on the site. Any suggestions from more ’seasoned’ users would be very helpful.
Good article.

If I may, some other tips to new users:
- post your triond credentials so the author can get to your triond page
- use a space after dots (hello hi) instead of (hellohi) in your comments. I think the system looks onto this as a link to a suspicious website
- also avoid using the , type instead of
- Try not to post 5 or more items per day. This puts your first items on the next pages of the Newsfeed. This is why only the later posts are read and commented on. Imagine also if a certain user has 20 friends who posted 10 items each that day.. no doubt they will be out of time to read, much more, comment on the others.
Technically I am a newbie too because I only got the feel of the community this December.. so I will be applying this to myself too
Happy posting!

Looks like you’ve already made a lot of good friends!
January 5th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
This is so true. Friend are are to find and harder to keep.
January 6th, 2009 at 10:04 am
This is a lovely article. I am also new to Triond and this is very inspiring.
January 10th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Some great ideas here and on the comments as well!

Great article on how to keep trionds friends. I am doing my best to do just that and finding new ones too. We have to remember, we will get no where if we don’t help each other.

Hi, Mrs. Heart:
I’ve started a new policy. I set aside a part of every day now to surf the Triond community, to add friends and to leave comments. This doesn’t mean I read everything that a friend will post. There simply is not enough time. It does mean I stay on the look out for a title by a friend, and if a title peaks my interest I click on it and read and leave a comment.
That’s how I found this article of yours. http://www.writinghood.com/online-writing/my-personal-blog-sent-hundreds-of-hits-to-my-triond-content-in-june/

Thanks for the advice!

I like this. I have made three Triond so far and hope I will not scare too many away with some of my articles. Triond has a wonderful sense of community, Your article and friendship proves that.
