I have been nominated for a “Creative Blogger Award.”
Thanks to the great blogger Jennifer Calvert for nominating my little blog.
It means a lot to me as a new blogger. I’m humbled and very grateful.
The Creative Blogger Award comes with a few rules:
1. Post the link of the blog that nominated you.
2. Share five random facts about yourself.
3. Nominate blogs and notify the nominees.
Five facts about me 🙂 …
1. I enjoy cooking breakfast on Saturdays
2. I am an extrovert
3. I have two college degrees
4. I really like A&W Root Beer
5. I Love things retro and vintage
Now, In no particular order I would like to nominate these bloggers for “The Creative Blogger Award” Because quite frankly they are bloody brilliant!
I am not sure If I would ever want to be a famous blogger…I don’t think I have what it takes to write posts that are on that level. However what would it be like to have some fame because of your blog. My concern is that I enjoy the report with my fellow bloggers and the bigger you get the harder it becomes. I suppose you can’t have friendships with everyone and you need to have a core group of bloggers you have community with. On Tumblr I had 1500 followers at one point and I don’t know if that is ideal. Perhaps the old saying the more the merrier has some merit. Is what I have to say all that important in the scheme of things. Perhaps I should just go for it and not worry so much. Just a few things to ponder as I gain more followers.
I have come to the conclusion I need to be connected with more bloggers who happen to be men. My question is are there more women who blog because they are more verbal, expressive, thoughtful? Men do have things to day but we aren’t always in touch with our feelings to say what we need to say. Perhaps its just things I have in common with different people or something like that. There are some cool dudes out there who are like minded and fun, just need to find them. Male pattern blogging has nothing to do with how much hair one has….yeah that was a lame attempt at humor.
It is my hope that this blog will inform, inspire and enlighten whoever visits. This is the place where I chronicle and curate the things that are important to me. Of course you will see me doing silly things here too, I am a total dork after all. A good blog will show humanity and hopefully peace. Thanks to you for spending time here. Keep on blogging.
I have done some further tweaking of my blog. Would you my fellow bloggers check it out to see what you think. Please check it out from the front page and offer any feedback you might have.
I have made a significant change to my blog. I have made look more like a personal homepage. When folks visit my page I want them to see my skills with WordPress. On the front page you will see links to my most recent posts and ways to connect to me elsewhere. I also wanted to feature my city of Chattanooga, a place that influences much of my blogging. The Motif theme is a great theme that is easy to read, navigate and customize. I liked my previous theme but I thought there was too much content to see all at once.
So my fellow bloggers, what do you think? Your feedback is welcome.
