Aussiejourno's Weekly Blog Awards

Top Blogs For Week Ending 23 June

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 honourable mentions go to: Cuckoo, Near Post, Fat Hairy Bastard, Confused Sam, Goddess, Lotus Reads, Lensational, Craver vii, Savannah, I'm On My Weigh Down, Daub du Jour, Chele 76, Movies Sans Frontiers, Travellin' Mama, Pasture Musings, Nobody's Friend, Mur 38, Sandip Madan, Who Dat Dare Pokah, Sketch and Colour

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.

Hi BTBear,

Yes, I'm sure he'll have something to say about that.

Indeed, saw the badge. From memory, I think I even left a comment.

Looking forward to the art gallery ...

Cheers

David

Cherry Dolphin said...

Hi David,

Thank you for your complements and tip, I appreciate it! It had never occured to me, so it's definitely good to know. Also, thank you for the honorable mention :)

Have a nice weekend!

david mcmahon said...

Hi Laurent,

No worries - I always enjoy visiting your blog.

Have a great weekend

Cheers

David

Hi Cherry Dolphin,

No worries at all. I forgot to mention that I really liked the scale - it was a terrific design elemnt.

Well done

Cheers

David

Bart said...

Oh yeah. I think you hear me knockin', and I think I'm comin' in.

Though I wish it would translate out to more noticeable traffic. I can't seem to build up the same insane rapport that Carol seems to get with her readers. I mean, a post getting 90 (well, 45, technically since half of them are her) comments?

My word verification is almost extrovert.

Shrink Wrapped Scream said...

Ah, Bart - stick your pet lip back in, you've trounced me again on the awards! I can't help it if nobody loves you (hehehehehehe, it has nothing to do with those alleged rumours I've been spreading about you, scouts honour.)

David, thanks a bundle, my friend - I really don't feel worthy of making the top ten (as I'm sure many would agree). Since our little pep talk, I feel up for the challenge again, watch this space!

Lotus Reads said...

Yeay, this is the first time I have made it to your "honourable mentions" list, thank you, thank you!

Cuckoo said...

Hi David,

Thanks for this again. Oh la la.. I am maintaining the position. ;)

Cheers !

Cuckoo

Stacy said...

Thanks again, David! I'm glad you are enjoying Rambling Traveler.

Take care,
Stacy

fuzzbert_1999@yahoo.com said...

Feels good to inch out Carol!

Just kidding...I'm still amazed!

I've started using this report in my sidebar...it may give the other 9 some extra hits for the week!

*Goddess* said...

No red carpet interview? Damn. I bought that dress for nothing.

Mrs Mac said...

Thanks for the honorables again!

BTW YesBut Images is there twice- no. 21 and 25. Did you mean to list his two different sites? These have the same address. Spotted this on my night-time, insomniac induced trawl through the addresses. I look forward to sitting down and visiting "The List"!

Mrs Mac said...

HANG ON! I just found 'Grumpyand farting' at no. 6! That means he's on there 3 times!!!! LOL Bet he isn't grumpy and farting now!

Mrs Mac said...

Please can I make a nomination--

check this out!

Things Look LIke Things

the pictures are amazing!

Cuckoo said...

Errr... Was there any slip-up?

Kalyan's blog wasn't there initially in 50 when I came here before.

Helo David: Thanks! Your list was first a nice pointer to good blogs. Being on it is to accept responsibility to write, and to write decent stuff. Thanks for still keeping me on it, and for sustaining your effort.

Chertiozhnik said...

Hello David

Nobody's Friend is no longer.

Hope I didn't get an honourable mention for closing it down!

All the best with Authorblog, great stuff as ever today.

FHB said...

Wow man, This is totally cool. I really appreciate it. Hell, I just post stuff for myself and the very few that show up regularly. It's a huge honor to be included. Again, thanks a lot.
