Check out this link to the 10th annual weblog awards. I’m fairly new to the blogging world, but am already loving being a part of it. I find interesting and unique blogs everyday, some that I check out and pass by, and those I return to day after day for my “fix” of inspiration and other musings. Just by viewing the nominees for this years bloggie awards, I’ve already found some new favorites!

Take a look for yourself, who knows what you will discover!

Thoughts on my new banner? I’ve been playing around with my blog now that I have a new handy manual. I’ll be experimenting with new ideas for awhile, so come along and enjoy the ride….

My new book Blogging for Bliss (got it for Christmas!) says one of the best things about blogging is getting comments and having followers. Up until now, I don’t really know who is following my blog (besides family and close friends). BUT Tara Frey (the author of B4B) says comments are encouraging and fun to receive. And you know what? I AGREE! Plus, it lets me know that my words are being read (by somebody, anybody!). So I’ve added a new feature on the right hand column called FOLLOWERS. Be a follower! This will let you know when my blog has been updated with new posts. And comments are welcome and appreciated!! Thanks all!
