The Liebster Award


When scrolling through the comments left on my posts today I noticed a comment with the message, "Hi, I've nominated you for the Liebster Award! Find the details on my blog.” I almost dismissed it but curiosity got the better of me and I quickly found myself pasting the url into my address bar. 

'Lovely Linny Likes' is the person who had nominated me for the Liebster Award and she has a whole post with lots of information about it. I was very excited and appreciative when I read this: 

"Most bloggers, at some point, have heard of or received the Liebster Award, unless you are a newbie. From the extensive searches I have conducted in my attempts to learn about this award, I have visited a bunch of blogs and learned the following information:


1. This award exists only on the Internet, and is given to bloggers by other bloggers.
2. It has German origins – the word “liebster” has several definitions: dearest, sweetest, kindest, nicest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, welcome and sweetheart.

3. It follows similar principles as a chain letter, in the sense that it should be passed forward to a certain number of people.
It is said that the Liebster Award was created to recognize and/or discover new bloggers and welcome them to the blogosphere. 


The Official Rules Of The Liebster Award 
If you have been nominated for The Liebster Award AND YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT, write a blog post about the Liebster award in which you:


1. thank the person who nominated you, and post a link to their blog on your blog.

2. display the award on your blog — by including it in your post and/or displaying it using a “widget” or a “gadget”. (Note that the best way to do this is to save the image to your own computer and then upload it to your blog post.)

3. answer 11 questions about yourself, which will be provided to you by the person who nominated you.

4. provide 11 random facts about yourself.

5. nominate 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award, who have a less than 1000 followers. (Note that you can always ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display a widget that lets the readers know this information!)

6. create a new list of questions for the blogger to answer.

7. list these rules in your post (You can copy and paste from here.) Once you have written and published it, you then have to:

8. Inform the people/blogs that you nominated that they have been nominated for the Liebster award and provide a link for them to your post so that they can learn about it (they might not have ever heard of it!)”
