I was recently nominated for Blogger Recognition Award, by Michelle. It means a lot to me. Especially, because I’m in my dark place of mind for quite a while now and this really cheered me up. Sort of confirmation that I’m doing at least something right.
I didn’t have the motivation for writing, reading or pretty much anything these days, but this lifted me up to write at least this post. For a moment, I felt like the girl in the picture above. So, dear Michelle, thanks again.
And thank you dear readers for stopping by. I appreciate every single one of you. You, who, only take a quick look through the content, you, who read my thoughts, you, who understand them and you who take a moment to share your own thoughts as well.
Rules
- Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
- Write a post to show your award.
- Give a brief story of how your blog started.
- Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.
- Select up to fifteen bloggers you want to give this award to.
- Comment (or pingback) on each blog to let them know that you’ve nominated them, and provide a link to the post you’ve created.
How I started my blog
My blogging story goes back in the year 2006. I started writing under my domain, lampelina.net, but many things went wrong (I couldn’t pay for domain and hosting because I failed at basic organizational skills), so I ended up here. I had severe insomnia, which gave me plenty of time to do something. Writing was perfect, because of the silence that night brings with it. Later I switched writing to photography.
Advice
Before you start blogging, I think it’s good to think about what message do you want to put through your blog and what can you get from this as well. On the other hand, I would suggest that you don’t think too much about what others might think. Dare to write, explore different topics, follow your instinct, but listen to your head as well.

Congrats Lampelina!! Loved reading this short and lovely summary… your advice is perfect imho!! And an experienced blogger like you would know. Thanks for spreading the light and helping other writers grow. ☀️🌱🌻
Thanks a lot for the nomination. It really means a lot to me because I made my first post on my blog not too long ago. Thanks once again.
I’m glad getting the award brought you a little bit of lightness. And thanks so much for the nomination! 💕
Congrats! I am glad you were able to get some joy!
Thank you so much for nominating! I’m so glad you got lifted out of a low patch. We all need that sometimes, I do…
You are welcome. I’m glad it helped you feel better. That is good advice. It is okay to write about something outside of your niche. I do it.
Congratulations on the nomination and thanks so much for nominating me!
I don’t know how to ping back or display the nomination! Please help me…
You can put the link in your post to the blog or post of the blog you nominated. Both is fine. If this sounds too complicated, you can simply leave a comment in the post of the blog you’ve nominated and tell the person about nomination.
How do I put the link in my post though? I want to do this.
Here is a nice tutorial. I hope it helps.
Thank you!
Does the rules also apply to nominees or just the winner. Rule number two says show your award?
Nomination is kind of a reward, if I understand this correctly.
Ok. Thanks a lot.
Pls, I would like to know how you inserted the link to your post in your comment. I’m trying to notify the bloggers I nominated, but I don’t know how to insert the link into my comment on their blog.
Never mind about my question earlier on. I have figured it out.
I’m still unable to get that link in a comment correctly. Please help!
Here is a tutorial for adding links in WordPress and here is a short guide about creating links anywhere using HTML.
You’re simply AMAZING!
Thanks a lot.
