Top Blogs For Week Ending 26 May

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.

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 alongside 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.

Shrink Wrapped Scream said...

Oooh, wow! Gee, can't believe I'm third, expected to topple much further down the perch this week! Watch out though, I'm going CREATIVE again soon, just been re-charging this week, is all! Thanks David, made my week.

Viper said...

Shrink Wrapped screams title has been stripped! Props to whoever did it.

gs said...

many many thanks david, for including my blog in the honours list. it is very very encouraging.

david mcmahon said...

Hi BTBear,

And you keep us going as well, with that distinctive blog ....

Cheers

David

david mcmahon said...

Hi Carol,

Because the first four spots were so tight last week, I actually brought a new criterion into play - comments that a blog gets and how the blogger responds to them.

That gave you a lot of ground this week, too.

You're always creative, but I can't wait to see what you've got in stock for us ....

Cheers

David

david mcmahon said...

Hi Cecilia,

Fabulous work - again. Your writing this week - and the way you've displayed it, pictorially - creates a new benchmark in your work.

Yes, you're right, they are friends indeed.

Cheers

David

david mcmahon said...

Hi Viper,

The first five spots were very tightly contested last week and this week. Very little to separate them all.

Cheers

David

david mcmahon said...

Hi Gopal,

Your site is always a good read. That's why it's been on the list for so many consecutive weeks.

Cheers

David

Doug said...

Hi David,
Rock on! I made the top 20 once again this week! Many thanks to all of those who have voted and of course congrats to my fellow bloggers and to our mentor David.

Cheers all,
Doug

david mcmahon said...

Hi Doug,

No worries at all. That's what I'm there for!

Cheers

David

Ianqui said...

Thanks for the mention again this week. Barcelona is such a great city for photos, and I know it sounds crazy, but I'm a little scared of returning to NYC next week!

david mcmahon said...

In Ianqui,

Have been following your blog with interest - and I'm sure you will enjoy being back in NYC.

Take care and do keep in touch.

Cheers

David

Ianqui said...

Hmm, I just reread my comment, and I realize I should clarify. I'm not scared of going back to live there--I miss my life and my husband very much! What I'm scared of it having to continue the 365 project there. Here, I like to explore new neighborhoods and take long walks. In New York, I know from the past I'm less apt to do that, which makes it harder to take interesting photos every day.

Sam said...

a new list!! cool..........

david mcmahon said...

Hi Sam,

Yes, there's a new list every Saturday evening.

Cheers

David

david mcmahon said...

Hi Ianqui,

Reading you loud and clear. The 365 project will be great in NYC - but I know what you mean.

It's just that when we are in new cities, we look wider afield and we notice more - we think through our camera lens.

Take care

David

Anonymous said...

Hopefully i'll MAKE IT ON THE LIST next time. Imo ShrinkWrappedScream's blog is a lot more interesting and well written then uncommon notions.

Just giving you my 2 cents.
ps. i better be on there next time!

Mega said...

Ah ha I'm catching up to Bart. I am determined to pass him thus making me king of the internets.

david mcmahon said...

Hi Viper,

I'm always interested in other people's viewpoints. Thanks for taking the trouble to visit - and to comment.

Good luck with next week's awards.

Cheers

David

david mcmahon said...

Hi Dan,

You'd better let Bart know the race is on!

Cheers

David

david mcmahon said...

Hi animals with opinions,

Always nice to hear from you. Say to to Moosey for me.

Cheers

David

(Yeah, I know you know how to get there, but us Brits always have to dot the i, and cross the t, under threat of deportation!)

david mcmahon said...

Hi Carol,

Got that nomination. Always good to see someone dot their Is and cross their Ts.

Deport you? Naaaah - you're listed as a precious resource on the Isle of Man.

Keep smiling

David
