What An Award Means To A Blogger?

What an award means to a blogger? In addition, it’s a hip hip hooray feeling it maybe means blogger doesn’t do wrong, what (s)he does.

 

It happened to me what never did it before I got an award. Is it a good a feeling? Yes, definitely! It’s more than good, even I didn’t get any cup or medal with it, it’s just a possibility for my readers to know me better and for me to introduce myself to the ones who never visited or read my site.

The most interesting thing I got the Liebster Blog Award not from a Hungarian blogger, but from an American one, namely from Haley, the Haley’s Vintage‘s writer. I would like to thank her for the nomination, it made me very happy.
