To be honest I don't think I am judgemental in a negative way. I just think that its a shame that some of the best blogs are not recognised as such because they are not yet well known. I certainly appreciate good writers, whether they be 'relaxed' writers or 'serious' ones. I just don't think that the mere intention of being a serious writer makes a person a good one.I really think that if you read the post again you would see that I am giving my opinion on blogs and lists and saying how much I like some of the little known blogs I read. I'm certainly not going to stop giving my opinion. I suppose I'll just be a blog that you won't want to come back to and that's ok. I don't expect everyone to like what I write. In fact I'm amazed, most of the time, that anyone likes it. Still, each to their own as you said.

Neither annoy me. Who knows what people are driven by or what their goal is?

I got caught up with the hole MADS Awards when people nominated me (unexpectedly I might add) Then I jumped on the campaigning band wagon (see blog). The reason I think it makes a difference to someone like me (a single stay at home mum) is that when PR companies see famous awards being won etc they are more likely to offer commissioned work. I know I'm not the most popular, best written (seriously have you seen my grammatical errors lol) and what not. I couldn't cope being one of those so called top-dogs. I think it reflects to you previous posts about honest and integrity. Anywho that's just what I think ;-) xxKJB Pony Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14504352633672623424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-12937661335841260272012-05-07T16:33:29.351+01:002012-05-07T16:33:29.351+01:00I like this and agree with you.

I just blog about life, church, family etc and largely do it simply because I enjoy it.Dinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07769681950535697498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-50856994023605305432012-05-07T14:24:43.160+01:002012-05-07T14:24:43.160+01:00Hello John!

I agree with you about the 'famous bloggers' - where do they find the time to promote themselves so much? And why do they want to?Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276284964859313257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-42110608446738898602012-05-06T19:20:58.524+01:002012-05-06T19:20:58.524+01:00Hello from your newest follower.
