Kentucky Colonel-wannabe and most excellent blogger The Hawg nominated me for an award! Truth is, I’m a bit confused if I’m nominated or if I’ve won - but in either case, I’m totally flattered!
Here are the attached strings:
1. The winner can put the logo on his/her blog;
2. Link the person you received your award from;
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs;
4. Put links of those blogs on yours; and
5. Leave a message on the blogs that you’ve nominated.
So, without further ado, some of my favorite blogs! I hope y’all go check them out, as they are my favorites for a good reason!
- Life in Spain - an expat living in Ronda, Andalucia writes about his experience. He is also an extremely generous blogger. Besides being an Entrecard member that Does Follow, he recently gifted me a sizeable quantity of Entrecards simply because I offered to attempt some graphic work he requested help with!
- Barry Wise Online Marketing and SEO professional - He is an exceptionally talented writer and his tips are simple and highly useful. Plus he left me a really sweet comment that inspired me to expand my horizons.
- Bizphere - I have learned a lot and found some good sources of potential income from this really excellent blog.
- Master of $EO - some great pointers here to help increase traffic to your blog, get Technorati authority and so on.
- environmentastic! - I recently discovered this one, but fell hard and fast for it. Smart and easy-to-do going green tips.
- Freebie Diva - daily (yes, daily!) posts with links to legitimate freebies to be found on the web.
- Book -N- Boob - this blog was the first blog I ever fell in love with. I really, really heart her blog. Emily is such an amazing writer and storyteller that it downright baffles me that she isn’t paid to write. If you only check out one of the blogs on my list, (shame on you!) check out this one!
I’m ambivalent about only being able to select 7, since there are so many good blogs out there that I love! However, if the number had been much higher, I might’ve felt overwhelmed!
Now, off to share the news with some of my favorite blog authors!

tata: thanks so much for the mention! I’m glad you love the blog… it’s been almost exactly a year since it opened, and it’s moved along a pretty rapid pace…
today: the environment, tomorrow: the world!
Namaste,

Thank you very much for the mention and for the link. I didn’t expect you include me in your favorite blogs list. I think I would write a post like this too.
Happy blogging and Entredropping.

Tata, You have just flattered me to tears! Now that I am a working mama, writing has taken a back burner and I have been getting a little (well, more than a little) depressed. You may have just knocked me back to my senses. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I appreciate you so much!
Emily
PS- I just received yet another rejection letter!!!
(If this posted twice, sorry. I seem to have trouble commenting on your blog. Not sure why.)

How flattering! Though I’ve only been posting on weekdays since the weekend freebies are junk, reruns, or non-existent. I’m off to nominate my top 7 now. Thank you!

Thanks so much for the link. I haven’t been writing very much recently but hopefully I’ll be able to start writing every day again, so that everybody can get traffic tips every day. Thanks Again!

@Paunchiness, I think it’s simpler than that. The award is given by bloggers to other bloggers that they love. I’m sure it originated somewhere and whomever started it likely devised the rules.
@ Barry Wise, I’m totally serious about that. I consider you to be an excellent blogger with a very talented writing style, so to have you tell *me* that I have an awesome style really tickled me pink. I’ve found some places that are hiring freelance copywriters and applied

Wow, thanks for the honor! And I’m absolutely inspired that I inspired you … most people tell me I’m no inspiration at all

I’ve always wondered how this works. So are the blogs simply nominated by the fact that you’ve put links to them in this post or do you actually have to go to a website and enter the urls.
I’ll look around the internet and see what I can find but I’m checking the follow up comments via email thingy too.
