Awards - less than three


“Kelley” over at “Magnetoboldtoo” has every so kindly given me this absolutely spiffing little award which she made herself!!!

This is how she describes it:-

“Now the explanation. When the girls and I want to express our mutual admiration in public we say ‘Less than Three’. If you look at it sideways:

<3

It looks like a heart. So I heart you.

And I do. Every one of you. Even the lurkers.”

So it’s my turn to share. I’m glad she pointed out that I don’t have to award to to 28 people as that’s way beyond my capabilities but maybe if I keep it brief? Maybe people touched by autism that aren’t on the Hub would be a good place to start.

First to “Grace Under Autism.”
2. “Judith”
3. “Kristenspina”
4. “Kyra”
5. “Gretchen”
6. “Cristine”

7. “Kal”
8. “Lisa Jo Rudy”
9. “Julie”
10. “Bonnie”
11. “Jen P”
12. “One March Day”
13. “Autism’s Edges”
14.“Another Autism Mom”
15. “Redhead Momma”
16. “Autista”
17. “Mom to JBG”
18. “Cottontales.”
19 “Mom to Mr. Hansom”
20. “Karianna”
21. “Mum without a Manual”
22. “Lora”
23. “Tulip Mom”
24. “Kirsten”
25. “Queen of Shake Shake”
26. “Autism Schmatism”
27. “Christina”
28. “Drama Mama”

Hmm, maybe this wasn’t such a good idea afterall. It’s been a tough week here with everyone on holiday. There are so many autism blogs which really ought to be on my blogroll apart from the fact that I can’t figure out how to do that. I thought I’d wait until the new blog was up and running and do it then, but it’s even more difficult on the new blog.

I am of course the ‘cut and paste’ Queen, but printing out other people’s blogrolls and sticking them on the computer with glue isn’t working for me.

So I think I’ll stop now and spend some time trying to work out the blogroll nightmare instead. So if you’re not included yet please don’t take offense. Instead you could leave your URL behind or the URL of autism blogs that you like [and possibly some blogroll hints to point me in the right direction for Wordpress!]

Cheers dearies

    Thanks Maddy, I was so surprised because I haven’t blogged in so long! And I’m glad you gave us an opportunity to get to know one another and increase this wonderful network. The blogs that aren’t in the Hub I usually add to my Bloglines feeds.

    Thank you again!

    Maddy, you crack me up! There’s a function in blogrolling.com that allows you to put a link on your internet explorer toolbar that says “BlogRollIt.” That way you can go to any site, click that little button and it will pop up a window that lets you add the site to your blogroll. Next time you go to your own blog, the blogroll will be updated (it may take a time or two). There’s instructions for how to do it on the blogrolling.com site. That’s how I keep up with mine. Hope that helps!

    Thank you for including me on the list and for introducing me to some wonderful blogs I haven’t been to before!

    And thank you Niksmomfor the blogrolling.com hint … I’m a little blog impaired myself. :)

    Thanks Maddy!
    It didn’t take me a month to find it, but it might take me a month to pass it on.

    Congrats on all of your great awards Maddy!! It’s good to see so many other people recognize you for the great blogger you are. I know I truly enjoy your blog and all of the great work you do to ‘get the message out’. Well done!

    Thanks for nominating me :o) I was really surprised that I was nominated, because I feel like I have been absent for quite awhile from the blogosphere. Thanks for the support!!!!

    Take Care,

    Less than three was my first award accepted and now it’s the first one passed on. Thanks for the milestones and the opportunity to “stretch” my blogging skills a little bit more. It was time (or past time) for me to reach out or reach back to other bloggers. If you’re curious, Maddy, it’s on my 2-29 post.
