I just can't express what they've meant to me. I was honored just yesterday with the Rising Blogger of the Day award (thanks, Mimi) and it is particularly humbling because it was for a specific post. I took it as validation that my writing efforts actually make an impression.<BR/><BR/>For my part, I created the Brain Building Blog Award for much the same reason that Rising Blogger exists. There are occassional posts that really make me think and I wanted to be able to recognize them in a special way. I <I>suggest</I> linking back to the award page I created so that the rationale can be read. But whether or not the award is displayed, or a link created is entirely up to the recipient.<BR/><BR/>What I do make sure to do is to dedicate a post to the original article that sparked my giving the award to begin with. If that garners me a few visits to my own blog, that's great. If it doesn't, that's OK too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-31404000244506580072008-03-04T00:07:00.000-05:002008-03-04T00:07:00.000-05:00Sandee - He's adorable jailbait.

Some I have ignored only because it is really unreasonable to do a whole bunch of them. I have been blogging a long time and it is only recently it seems these things are prevalent and for me I would not have time or room to blog otherwise. Awards of the type where someone nominates me I will do as I did with the weblog awards, as one time I ignored one of those types of awards and the people who nominated me felt slighted, but if it is not something like the weblog awards I won't pass it on mainly because my readers cold care less. Though for instance your meme was very interesting and different and worthy of conversation - being able to see what others write is very interesting and so I passed it on to people...and even the cynical's who never do such stuff, they just write, did them. I guess it's about the content and the judgment and if it is unique and does something rather cool.<BR/><BR/>I think the difference is when I started blogging there really wasn't this mass off reader given awards so no one had to deal with them. There were memes/tags, but they nowherenowhere near as pervasive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-40574008534355745022008-03-02T19:41:00.000-05:002008-03-02T19:41:00.000-05:00Hi Mimi - First I think your date is way too young...Hi Mimi - First I think your date is way too young honey. Younger men are nice, but must be at least 18 years of age. Just saying. I don't want the law to put our queen in their dungeon. I know you won't like it.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes meme's and awards hit you all at the same time. There is a Meme Monday that I'm doing now that will show all my tags and awards during the week. I think one post a week is better than 5,10 or however many. I do appreciate all the tags and awards I get though. I really do.

When I created The Spreader of Love Award I suggested that a link back would be helpful for people to read the reason it was created, and to obtain the original photo file. I go around and see where the award is showing up, and most people don't do the link back, and I truly don't mind at all. In fact I have to say that tracking where it has gone is more fun, as it gives me the chance to get exposed to many different blogs from around the world. <BR/><BR/>I can say I have never received an award from someone I don't know or read on the web. I would feel odd about that too. <BR/><BR/>Smoochies to you Peace woman.Barbara Dodukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821810858403425998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-34426111325522895792008-03-02T17:15:00.000-05:002008-03-02T17:15:00.000-05:00Trav - VERY well said.

I've been making sure I go back and thank them in comments. But recently I haven't been posting them on my blog and I haven't passed them on. <BR/><BR/>As others have said, I truly appreciate when the blog community recognizes me or gives me a shout out. I try to do the same by pointing out posts that touch me.<BR/><BR/>I think these tag awards are as much about the giver as the receiver. Usually when I receive one, I know the person who gave it to me did so out of friendship. It made them happy to give it, just as it made me happy to receive it.<BR/><BR/>And I think that can be enough. If it pleases me to pass it on, I will. But if I'm a little busy with life and choose to use my time elsewhere, then I suspect people will understand and be ok with it.Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-54892832449366149892008-03-02T16:48:00.000-05:002008-03-02T16:48:00.000-05:00Mel - "I will accept all awards that are given in ...<B>Mel</B> - "I will accept all awards that are given in good faith."

I will accept all awards that are given in good faith. I will post them once a month or so and give them out when I when it feels right for me. I will never give in to the pressure to give the awards back out or to accept tags that don't feel right for me. I will also, never pressure anyone to tag others when accepting a tag of mine. It's that type of pressure that can cause blog authors to implode and end up exiting the blogesphere. If blogging isn't fun any more, then why continue. Pressure, which is always, whether we know it or not, self-inflicted. We can always choose not to accept the pressure.DubLiManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00889401278698864585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-90848751207234762162008-03-02T11:57:00.000-05:002008-03-02T11:57:00.000-05:00Sanni - Would Luis and my little guy make a cute p...<B>Sanni</B> - Would Luis and my little guy make a cute pair?
