The Liebster Award

I know now that someone is reading my blog. I have been nominated for the Liebster award. A thank you goes to The Kitty Corner for finding me and giving me a nomination. It is a pretty much a done deal when you are nominated. There are certain things I need to do and then I can put the Liebster award logo on my blog. 

Quite honestly, I think is more like a chain letter and there is a little work involved with it. I read of some people who accepted the "honorary award", which is to say thank you but not carry the chain on. But, I am going to see if I can get this thing done. After all, blogging is about communicating and sharing. 

To fully accept the award I had to pick eleven blogs to nominate that have less than 200 followers. I have a lot of different interests and tried to pick writers in each of my interest areas. So there is quite a variety in my list.

Here is what I need to do:

1. List the nominator’s blog on your blogroll with a link
2. Answer a set of 11 questions asked by the nominator
3. Provide a list of 11 random facts about yourself
4. Nominate 11 qualified blogs (less than 200 followers) for the Liebster Award and let them know through a post on their blog page
5. Provide a set of 11 questions for the nominated blogs to answer
6. Display the award on you blog!
