Nerd in the Brain nominated me for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award yesterday, and I could not be happier about the nomination. It came at a perfect time. Chaos Girl nominated Nerd in the Brain. You should check out Chaos Girl, too!
The great thing about this award is that there are only two rules for it:
1) The nominee shall display the Very Inspiring Blogger Award logo on her/his blog, and link to the blog they got nominated from.
2) The nominee shall nominate fifteen (15) bloggers she/he admires, by linking to their blogs and informing them about it.
So I already linked to the person who nominated me. Here’s the logo displayed on my blog:
Before I get to the nominations, let me just attach the standard disclaimer. Accepting this award or even acknowledging it is completely optional. At worst, nominees, this is me paying you a compliment. And given the title of this award, you can be sure that you have actually inspired me, in one way or another. Which is good. I hope to return the favor and inspire you all at least once before I am done. The links go to about pages or awards pages. The notifications are my way of informing you. Along with the Twitter shoutouts I’m sending you this morning, which will not mention this award at all, hehe.
Congrats! And well deserved *applauds*

You are welcome. and I do 🙂 I know we don’t talk often, but I’ve learned things from you, and your support has made a tangible difference for me. No way I’d be as far ahead of my plan as I am right now if I’d never blundered onto your blog that first time.

An excellent list of blogs to read through. These awards are such a good way to network and community build. Congrats on your award!

Thanks! and yes, those blogs were carefully chosen. The list is actually longer, but the person who nominated me nominated a couple of bloggers I would’ve otherwise nominated, and I wanted to leave a few for my nominees to nominate, if that makes any sense.
I actually have another round of Very Inspiring Bloggers to nominate – and I am thinking about starting an award of my own even though I am woefully behind on answering the awards I’ve been given.

I’m terrible with graphics or I would have finished my own award ages ago. I have the photo, but it remains uncompleted. I do think it would be fun.

LOL, I was just thinking tonight about what photo to use for my award and what sort of font to put on the top of it and suchlike.
If I figure out how to make badges, I’ll give you a graphic art freebie just to see what sort of award you come up with.
I mostly just crop and scale. No idea what “layers” are or how to make the text look good. Yet.
