Now, I've seen other people taking part in this tag, and I've been itching to re-visit some of my older posts too, so I was really happy to be tagged.
The idea of the award is to link to existing blog posts that fall into seven categories...
Most Beautiful Piece
Goodbye 2011. I've linked to this post before, but I think it fits this category, so please forgive me.
Most Helpful Piece
Too hard. I couldn't find anything that fits here, so I'm going to pretend this one doesn't exist!
Most Popular Piece
I'll tumble 4 ya blogfest. Of course, it probably helped that it featured Morten Harket!
Most Controversial Piece
Save Our Libraries Day. I know this doesn't look overtly controversial because there are no comments on the post, but as I used to work in a library I know lots of librarians, and they told me face-to-face how controversial they found it! I hope this doesn't open old wounds...
Most Surprisingly Successful Piece
Spellings and Misspellings. At a time when I was only getting two or three visitors to my blog, this post has had 98 views. I have no idea why - it must have been caught in a popular search term, but I never worked out what term people were using.
Most Underrated Piece
Curious incidents with mirrors. Five page views, no comments... that's pretty underrated, isn't it? Although to be fair, it was before I discovered the fun of joining blogfests and following great people.
Most Pride-Worthy Piece
I'm not sure how to interpret this category, so I'm going for Welcome, where I proudly announce that I have 13 followers.
And now I'm going to choose seven people to tag...
Suze at Analog Breakfast
DL Hammons at Cruising Altitude 2.0
Rena at Doctor Faerie Godmother
Allison at Geek Banter
Rebecca Bradley at Life in Clarity
Teresa F Morgan at The Wittering Woman
Marta Szemik at Marta Szemik
Feel free not to take part if you've done it already or simply don't want to!
What a horrible idea this post was! It's almost 3:00 AM and my eyes are crossing, yet I want to go read them all. If I nod off, I will at least get to the library one. A controversial librarian...that piques my interest!
ReplyDeleteSorry for keeping you awake, Elizabeth! :-) And thanks for your comments on previous uncommented posts - I appreciate it!
DeleteGreat list, Annalisa! I love your 2011 piece, full of energy and positivity - love it. I, too, feel moved to go over to the library piece but for now, I must write something of my own...
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie. Whenever I'm feeling a bit low, I read the 2011 post again and always feel so good about my life :-)
DeleteThanks for the shout out and kind words. You've got some very insightful posts in your archives. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. It's funny when you re-read posts, it's almost like you're reading someone else's words.
DeleteThanks for the tag Annalisa. Some interesting pieces in there:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Marta - I look forward to reading yours, if you take part :-)
DeleteGlad you got a chance to visit old posts. Sometimes it's fun to see the journey you've taken so far.
ReplyDeleteWhat I realised when I was reading them all is that I have a lot of writer's block!
DeleteIts great to get to know you a little better! I remember the I'll Tumble 4 Ya Blogfest. That was fun.
ReplyDeleteI loved that Blogfest!
DeleteCongrats on your award and to the winners. I did this one too sometimes last season and it was so fun going back through old posts.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realised I'd written so many, to be honest.
Deletethats a fun award. its nice to re read old posts =)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how long ago some of them were - I remember writing them!
DeleteThank you, Annalisa, both for awarding me this honor and for linking to your old posts. I will enjoy looking through them!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading your old posts, Suze :-)
DeleteI was tagged with this award this week. I'm still trying to put my post together. I don't think I have a "most helpful" post either. It's hard to say which rant would be the most helpful, you know?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'm known for being helpful, just being in need of lots of help :-) I'll watch out for your post.
DeleteFunny how our blogging progresses. I remember being pretty excited when I had 13 followers the first time around :)
ReplyDelete13 was huge for me at the time!
DeleteHi Annalisa .. just popped over to your Library post and am now waiting for Spellings and Misspellings to load up ..
ReplyDeleteGood mix of posts here .. crumbs I'd hate to choose! Cheers Hilary
It was fun re-reading them, but not easy to choose at all!
DeleteCongratulations! I'm looking forward to reading your links once the kids go to bed and the house is finally quiet. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana - ooh, I love that quiet house feeling :-)
DeleteSo like totally awesome that Tumble 4 Ya is your most popular post! :D
ReplyDeleteIt was a totally awesome blogfest Nicki :-)
DeleteWhat a great blog award Annalisa and one I haven't seen before. Loved your answers, (especially ignoring the ones you didn't like!)
ReplyDeleteThank you for nominating me.
I shall have a little look at my stats and pop up a post for tomorrow I think.
Great post!
Oh good! I'll look forward to your post.
DeleteIt's scheduled for tomorrow morning :)
DeleteCongrats on the award! Those were some great posts you listed. I'll have to come back later to finish them up. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael :-)
DeleteCongratulations! And I bet you had many helpful posts.
ReplyDeleteHelpful is a subjective word :-)
Delete13 followers and now look at you! I'd say you have a lot to be proud of...well, I'm sure there's tons more, but I'm speaking blog world wise!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, thanks for the follow!
DeleteCongrats on the award. I'll have to go and read the posts you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tania :-)
DeleteVery cool! I have not seen the 7x7 before. Great picks!
ReplyDeleteIt's great looking back at past posts!
DeleteCongrats on the award.:) Also nice choices for categories.
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteThanks for the award! My most popular post is an odd one too--I don't understand why it is visited so much.
ReplyDeleteAllison (Geek Banter)
Google has a lot to answer for!
DeleteThank you for the recognition...and congrats to you as well. This is the first time I've seen this award, and I must say its rather unique. I might have to bend my rules and take part with this one. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to look back at old posts too - an excuse to show off your genius :-)
DeleteThanks for the tag, Annalisa. I'll try to get around to this, but I've got lots to do, just returning from holiday and all.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good time!
DeleteGreat idea - must be a good spirit lifter as it is so easy to get downhearted blogging...thanks for all those great posts!
ReplyDeleteLooking back on old posts is a really interesting thing to do.
