Brilliante Weblog Premio 2008
I’m chuffed. And confused.
Recently, Lisa from Magic Sprinkles nominated me for a Brillante Weblog thingy. (See the logo on the left.) This pleases me immensely since Lisa’s blog can be pretty funny, especially when she has disastrous results with cake balls.
I’m confused because I’m not sure what to call Brillante. Is it an award? A way to spread good karma? A cleverly disguised chain letter? I Googled and never did find the website that started the whole thing. However, it comes with no threats and looks like a good natured way to promote fellow bloggers.
Since this is a pay-it-forward thumbs up, not a winner-take-all prize, it’s my turn to tag the next round of Brillante Bloggers.
According to the rules, the recipients are asked to:
- Post the logo on his/her blog. (✓Check!)
- Link the person you received your award from. (✓Check!)
- Nominate at least 7 other blogs. (✓Check! See below.)
- Put links of those blogs on yours. (✓Check!)
- Leave a message on the blogs of the people you’ve nominated. (Hmmm. I’m on the road. Let’s hope they’ve set a Google Alert on their blog name. Otherwise, I’ll do it when I get back.)
In keeping with request #3, I hereby pass the virtual baton to the following Brillante Bloggers — in alphabetical order to ensure no squabbling:
- 5 Second Rule for amazing photography and intriguing story lines
- A Mingling of Tastes for understanding the importance of fig ice cream and chipotle brownies
- Confessions of a Cardamom Addict for her killer cookbook reviews and snappy writing
- Dana McCauley for teaching me something new almost every single day
- Haiku Diaries for showing me amazing snapshots of life in three short lines
- Word Count for embracing social networking but drawing the line at Twitter
- Yarn Harlot for knowing there’s more to life than food — there’s wool and needles and patterns and stash…
I know I’ve missed many, many worthy blogs. Who would you nominate?
