Having a little chat on Facebook and Barry Wells leaves me a message saying there’s a surprise for me on his blog. Well, off I go to check it out. Barry had written a wonderful post for his entry for The 7 Link Challenge he’d been nominated for. One of the rules being to nominate 5 people to take part. I was one of those 5. So, here goes, the posts I found which best fit the categories set.
Most Beautiful Post
At work one afternoon while playing a game of cards (during break time of course … ) we were talking about our upbringing, what we use to get up to, games we played and our life style, what we had/didn’t have etc. This started up because one of my colleagues had never played a card game before. Now I’m not talking rounds of poker with the pay cheque on the table, this was a simple child’s card game we’d all played as children and then later with our children. Where she’s from, it was and still is forbidden!
This particular colleague sent me this presentation which I decided to post because I think it’s just wonderful. No matter where we’re from, what we have or don’t have, as children we saw the meaning of life the same way but as an adult, we need to be reminded. Rich and Poor
Most Popular Post
As one post receives the most comments, after checking statistics another receives more views. I decided to go with the comments as people took the time to leave them, it’s more valued. This post is the results of a challenge put up by Barry Wells, asking people to make a video and post it on their blogs.
I’d never made one before and I’ve not done one since actually but, I now know how to, should the need arise -the short-cut way and it was fun. I Accepted the Challenge, Here is the Result
Most Controversial Post
This one I had a problem – I couldn’t find one. Which, I think to be a bit of a disappointment actually, as having a controversial post does bring good conversation. One gets to see the other side of a story, can learn tolerance and value other’s opinions. Note to self; write a controversial post.
Most Helpful Post
After visiting the blogs from the video challenge mentioned in the ‘most popular post’ above, while putting the notes I collected into some sort of order I could refer to when needed, I thought this was just too good to be kept aside for my reference only and posted the links. Not only are the bloggers themselves all terrific people, this post has links to a wealth of helpful tips, tricks and ideas for anyone to take.

Post Whose Success Surprised Me
I receive funny mails now and then and this particular one I thought was really funny so decided to post it just for the hell of it. I’m not a great lover of shopping myself so I do like to get in and out as quickly as possible and go alone! But, there has been the occasion when I’ve gone shopping with ‘the male species’ and can relate to Mrs Harris and her dilemma.
This post got a lot more views than response as in most cases, so I hope those who didn’t leave a comment got a chuckle out of it as well. I know we all like to have a good laugh and it seems integrating humour within ones blog is appreciated. Just for A Laugh
The Post which didn’t get the Attention it Deserved
I’m usually chuffed at any attention my posts receive, but the one which I thought would have received a bit more attention than it did get was one I’d posted about a couple of wordpress plugins Ian recommended to me and I found really good. Unfortunately, since the latest update of one of the plugins, I have deactivated it as it wasn’t working properly on my blog. For what reason, I actually gave up trying to figure it out and stopped asking as well. Shame really, because it really is a niffy little interactive plugin and if workable on anyone else’s blog, I’d still recommend it.
The GASP spam plugin is still there – a right bewdy

Most Proud Of
This post got the spot here because of one of the comments. Movember is a non-profit organization and every year there’s a major fund raising campaign through the month of November. It was tragedy which brought my attention to the organization and its message, because of this I decided to get involved, which of course I am proud of as well. One young lad left a comment which pleased me because although he knew about and actually raised funds for Movember, he did not realize a couple of very important things; i) that the campaign is also to bring awareness, encouraging men to have yearly health check-ups, through early detection of cancer, there are treatments and ii) he thought he didn’t need to worry about all that until the age of 50.
Now he knows, there’s a message to take heed of and pass on – now and no waiting. Wanted Tach Growers & Cash Collectors
