The grass is always green on my side.

A special shoutout

I’ve been having some problems lately with the PC. My partition doesn’t seem to want to connect to the Internet so I’ve gone to using Ted’s partition where most of my stuff ain’t there. Hence, I’ve been blog-hopping a little bit more, if you’ve noticed. I’ve left my prints all over your blog at one go. I’m surprised I’ve not been classified as SPAM yet! *lol*

Anyway, while I ‘try’ to solve this problem, the blog hopping has done me some good as I’ve managed to catch up on new updates and what nots and that was when I suddenly realised that 2 particular bloggers, from my personal observation, have really come a long way. These 2 bloggers have been on my list like, since forever….and have been at my blog many times too. I dare say that they are indeed my *ahem* readers. So I dedicate this post to them :

1. LB who’s living the life in Italy

I knew LB’s blog long before he had this A-Z long list of comments. At that time, he was using Blogspot and hardly had any comments at all. He was a newbie then and so was I. If I’m not mistaken, 5xMom introduced him on her blog and that’s how I got addicted to reading his blog. I think he’s been doing a fantastic job at maining the contents of his blog. He really puts in the effort as you can see from all the graphics he includes and of course, the thing that gets my drool factory into overdrive is his food pix! The man’s got a passion for food and he ain’t shy to show it to the world. From having less than 10 comments per post, his comments now average at LEAST 30. So kudos to you, LB! *huggies huggies*

2. Pelf the turtle Savior

This sweet little thing has been around for some time now. And boy, has her blog grown from a simple personal blog to ‘Save the turles’ blog, and she’s got a separate blog for the cuties too. I like the way she’s described her blog - Grad student trying to save the turtles. And the environment. And humankind. Very nicely said, I bet the hardest to save is mankind though! But I applaud her for her efforts because it is her passion and she really gives her all too. Pelf’s been writing for a long time which is why her blog is such a pleasure to read because she writes well. And so I was not surprised when she was recently awarded a SOB [Successful and Outstanding Blogger] title by Liz Strauss. What were you people thinking arr? Pelf also happens to be my Postcrossing friend although I think she’s been out of it recently, not too sure though.  She’s been reading a lot of good blogs about how to improve one’s blogging and it was here that I too, managed to get a few more other blogs to stalk to improve myself as well. Keep up the good work, girl….you know you’ve done well. *more huggies, more huggies*

This is not meant to be a tag nor some praising session, but I personally feel that it’s a nice and positive action to affirm people when you know they’ve done a good job so if you feel that you’ve got a blog or 2 you’d like to share about and their development since they’ve started blogging, please leave me the site. I would love to check it out myself.

    AARGGH.. You should have designed a nice little button so that I can sing some praises on my blog! Muahaha..

    Seriously, thank you. Thank you very much — not so much for the mention, but for the friendship. I’ll be sharing a new series on “Revamping your site” from guidelines in Lorelle’s Blogging Tips book — so if you’re interested, we can do it together :)
