Blogger Recognition Award
We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident/Blackbutterfly7, has been nominated for the Blogger Recognition Award by two different bloggers. Each one has different rules. One does not require nominating 15 other blogs, and the other does, so I’m going more than half-way and nominating eight.
Thanks to Studiotj/Roach59, and Micheline Walker for paying us this great honor.
The rules are:
- Write a post to show your award.
- Give a brief story of how your blog started.
- Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.
- Thank whoever nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
- Select 15 8 other blogs you want to give the award to.
There’s nothing brief about how Blackbutterfly7 started, but the VERY short version is that this blog started because George Zimmerman decided to follow a 17-year old kid who was walking home in the rain, and killed him. Following Zimmerman’s case was a wake-up to other issues, including how the justice system works, and the need for unity and healing of race relations.
Advice to New Bloggers
Spend time on the administration side of your blog and become familiar with what Word press offers for the theme you use. Learn to use the Reader to follow other blogs. Visit Word Press forums.
It gives me great honor to nominate the following 8 bloggers;
- End Stand Your Ground
- Paws2smile
- Robert M Goldstein
- Carol Hand
- Deborah Bryan
- Mega Worth It
- Electric In The Desert
- Dear Kitty1
Thanks to all the nominees for being a member of the blogsophere.

Thanks Roach. How many? I have to count them. There’s another nomination that I have to accept. It requires nominating 15 blogs, and that agonizes me because I’m always afraid of leaving someone out who really deserves it.

Xena, Yet another well deserved award. I’m not sure that there would be enough space to list all the awards that you should receive for all that you have done and continue to do for those less appreciated in our society… You are a rare light found in a world of darkness!
