Top Blogs For Week Ending 7 April
Aussiejourno's Weekly Blog Awards are meant to encourage bloggers from all round the world and they give new bloggers the chance to get their work noticed in an increasingly popular forum, alongside the world's most-visited blogs.There is no monetary reward, no live TV coverage, no red carpet interview, but the exposure comes with international bragging rights. If you would like your blog (or someone else's) to be considered for next week's awards, please leave the url here, in the comment section. You can nominate as many blogs as you want. Entries close at midday Greenwich Mean Time each Friday. And this week, because it was so difficult selecting just 40, the list now comprises the best 50 blogs.

In conclusion, I would just like to say I've been mentoring several bloggers for a while and it is important to know that the work of a blogger whose url has only 10 hits can be ranked alongisde a blogger whose url has 10,000 hits or more. I would like other would-be writers and bloggers to benefit from the fact that I am a bestselling novelist (`Vegemite Vindaloo', published by Penguin) and career journalist with almost 30 years' experience in writing, editing, design, newspaper technology and production.

50! Wow. I'll be busy the over next few days visiting blogs.
Thanks Dave & Congrats to all.
David! I can't believe I made it on your list TWICE! I was excited to see my "Unforeseen Paths" Blog on there (and still climbing) but then upon glancing at the others on the list, I happen to see my "Escaping Through Film" Blog on there too!!! I'm shocked!!! That's amazing! Thank you so much for that honor. Now I'm motivated to watch more films (sadly I've lacked the time to go to the movies) to update my film blog more often. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (If you can't tell I'm super excited!)
Thanks for the 'fix', david. You've become my saturday morning habit.

It was time to increase the Top 40 to the Top 50.
No worries at all. I just collate the list. The hard work is done by all the bloggers.
Have a great Easter.
David
Hi Buscador,
No worries at all. You have the distinction of being the first blogger to have not one but two of your blogs on the list.
Great work all round and yes, I did get the hint that you were rather animated!
Have a great Easter.

Yahoo! Great Googley Moogley! "Magick River" made it to your list. Ta, David, brings a big smile to my face!
Oh, what a brilliant welcome home! Next time, the laptop comes, too.. felt as tho' my left hand had been cut off, (yeah, I'm left-handed)and I spent most of the trip in a prima mega-strop, just wanting to be HOME. Thanks for such a brilliant welcome back, can't wait to resume where I left off (really need to get out more). You make it so much more fun, can't thank you enough. ps. toiletpaper is brill - really validates my faith in you!!

Hi Antares,
Nice to hear from you. I'm so glad to see a fun reaction!
Take care and happy blogging.
David
Hi Shrink,
Even your comments are fun to read! Hope the mega-strop didn't last the whole trip!
As you probably know, I'm in Sydney, so there have not been many updates on my blog.
Will get back in the swing of things when I get home.
Cheers
David

Hi Copper,
Nice to hear from you and yes, the nomination is confirmed.
I was hoping to hear from you because I remembered you saying you were going to be away for two weeks.
Great to hear you're back. Hope everything's going well.
Good luck

Hi Liz,
Every writer/ blogger needs a littlebit of encouragement now and again.
I'm just glad the honourable mention came at the right time for you.
Nice to hear from you and I look forward to more of your work.

Okay, (deep breath) I'm nominating "Looney Toons" - and am off to lie down for a bit, now..

Think This Blog
Hi BTBear,
I'm intrigued. I'm just about to duck out for an hour, but will check it out as soon as I come back.
Many thanks
David
Hi Shrink,
Got that. Look forward to `Looney Tunes'. Will check it out today for sure.
Good luck
David
Hi Marek,
Congratulations. And let me say the competition is getting a lot tougher!
I'm so glad you picked up some visitors from my site. That's the whole idea. What I really want to do is foster the realisation that even newbie bloggers have great sites and that people can go striaght to those sites from the weekly updates to Aussiejourno's Weekly Blog Awards.
Great work and keep it up
David

Joel
Hi Joel,
Thanks for the speedy reply. Maybe I'm goofing this up, but the link I'm actually looking for is the link that you and Stacy (Rambling Traveler) have on your blogs - it's the link that takes people straight in to vote for your blogs.
Sorry if I'm being a bit obtuse here!
David
Ah Joel,
Every great man has to have a lamebrain sidekick.
You, sir, are the great man.
And I am your lamebrain sidekick. All I had to do was follow the links you gave me. My moron factor is very high today, but my kids tell me it will pass - perhaps!
Thank you for the links, for your guidance, for your votes and for your support.
David
Hi Deb,
Got those nominations. Thank you. Always nice to hear from you.
Yes, it's hard to believe a list that started out with jst 10 is now a list of the top 50.
Keeps me on my toes!
David
