Be the Blog

I’ve been given the Be The Blog award by Ev Nucci at My life is murphy’s law. This is an award that was created by Mark at Me and My Drum for bloggers who make their blog their own, stay with it, are interactive with their readers, and just plain have fun.
Thanks Ev, I think this is the first award I’ve been given. It is available in 4 colours on Mark’s blog: Creamy Cabernet, Midnight Oil, Pink Smoothie and Purple Passion, so pick the colour that suits best.
I’m going to pass this on to:
- jmb at Nobody Important who writes engaging posts and always comments and replies to comments.
- David Airey at David Airey who has a very professional graphic design blog. I don’t think that awards will fit well with David’s uncluttered blog design, so I won’t take offense if David doesn’t add it.
- Vijay at scan man’s notes, though I don’t know if he’ll find the time (it’s not a meme Vijay) or the space on his sidebar.
- Antman at Cre8Buzz. If creating the Cre8Buzz site for readers to showcase their work and content and interact with each other isn’t being interactive with your readers, I don’t know what is. I know Cre8Buzz isn’t just Antman’s work, so credit to the rest of the team as well.

Hi Ian,
Congratulations on the award. You have made this blog your own and you always answer comments here too. As I’m typing this I see I am directly opposite the archives and notice that you have been at this for more than two years. That shows true dedication too.
Thanks for passing it on to me. I’ll be honoured to post it soon.
regards

Thanks jmb,
It doesn’t seem that long, but then I’ve only had comments on my blog since January of this year, so I guess that’s when I started interacting.
You’re very welcome, I must return the compliment and comment on your chocolate post tonight.
Regards,
Ian

Hi Rachel,
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.
I’ve really enjoyed being a member at cre8Buzz for the last few months, it’s really getting going now.
Glad you enjoy the rambling, they can get quite erratic.

Hi Ian,
I finally got around to accepting this award on my blog. Thanks for giving me the award which enabled me to talk a bit about my blog and an idea for a post which is very important!

Hi jmb,
My pleasure, I’m glad it also helped out with a post idea for you.
As I commented on your blog, it seems strange to have followed your blog from the start, when I hadn’t even come across you before your first post.
Regards,
Ian

Congrats, Ian!
Thanks so much for awarding me with this too. I’m honoured.
You’re right though, I don’t think it’ll fit too well with my blog design.
Still, much appreciated.

You’re welcome David.
Hope you have a great Christmas.
