If this blog is a-rockin…
What do Cate from A Beautiful Life, Jessabean of Unquiet Heart, Butrfly of Butrfly Garden, Kelly of Diary of the Nello, Megan of Velveteen Mind, Jenny of Absolutely Bananas, CableGirl of 42, and Dedee of The Quiltmaker’s Gift have in common?
They have FANTASTIC taste. They think I rock. Yup. All eight of them!!!! How I managed to dupe so many people, I’m not sure. Still, what an honor, right? I’d love to turn around and give the award right back to each of them, since they rock–oh yes, they rock–a whole heck of a lot more than I do, that’s for sure.
(Did I forget anyone? My technorati is having issues–I KNOW!!! HOW DO I SURVIVE???–and not all of my beloved linkies are showing up, and it actually seems like there was one more, but I can’t for the life of me come up with it… I’ll update this post and add some more linky-love if I missed you!)
Okay, and here’s where the guilt sets in. See, this here site is still brand spankin’ new, doncha know, and I haven’t yet figured out what I want to do with the sidebar. (There used to be TWO sidebars, but y’all created such a ruckus that I had to take one down. I’m such a people-pleaser.) And so, I was waiting until I knew where to PUT my award before I acknowledged it. And then another award was given, and then another, and so on. And I’m just sure that if I’d put the little button into my sidebar, I wouldn’t have tricked so many people into awarding me.
My little plan worked. I’m so humbled.
So what’s the first thing I’m going to do? Put all eight buttons in my sidebar, of course (for now–cuz I think that might get really old soon…). And here too (and, fortunately for me, people have been tinkering with the look of the award, so I can actually put eight different ones in!):
Okay, then. Now for the fun part. Now for the taggy-tagginess. And I’ll even let you pick whichever blog-bling you want!
- The Road Lester Traveled
- GoldyWorld–Yes, I know Goldy’s not a girl. But it just seems like if I’m giving out awards today, one just HAS to go to Goldy! So, Goldy, feel free to pick a badge that doesn’t specifically say “girl”–or, hey, who knows? Maybe you want to be a rockin’ GIRL blogger? I bet no one’s ever called you that before…
- Annette Lyon
- Virtual Sprite
- Gaining Balance
- Believer in Balance
- Sugar Kane
- The Verge
- Omega Mum
- Debio
- PantryShelf
- Carla Stream
- MammasWorld
- Sheila (who prefers not to be linked to, but she knows who she is
) - Work At Home Mom Revolution
- Nanette
- Swistle
Okay, I could go on for hours. I really could. It seems impossible to narrow this thing down. But, there it is. Congrats, Ladies (and Gent) on your awards. Now what? Well, here are the rules: If you’re given the rocking girl blogger award, then in a post on your own site you link back to the blog that awarded you and then you award it to five other blogs. These should be blogs that are written by women who you think rock. And then they take the award, post it on their blog, link back to you, and award five more blogs, and so on, until the universe is overcome with rockin’ girl bloggers. Any questions? Good. Now go partake in the tag-aliciousness.

If I was a girl I would totally rock. Thanks B.
Happy 4th.
Awww Brillig, you are too sweet. My little keep-family-informed blog pales in comparison to the other on the list, but I’m honored!
You deserve all the awards!! Brava to the folks who awarded them to you. And who-ever redid the button with Rosie the Riveter really, really rocks.
———–
Yeah, I really dig that one too. That was from Oh The Joys, who I don’t know and therefore don’t have her link readily available, but I see her all over the place!
Rock is right! You rock. I rock. That is so cool of you, especially since I’ve been so out of the loop lately.
You’re an inspiration, Brillig. Keep rockin…
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!
Thank you!
When you rock, you rock hard, huh?
hahaha….I totally LOVE the flame one…where was that one? Well, Kelly’s kid rocks pretty hard, too, so it’s okay.
Congrats on your rockness.

Nello made that one. Isn’t it great?
wow you definitely rock, girl!
nice buttons.
congratulations.
a lot of hard work to link–
and it is all done manually right?
or do you have a techie short cut way?
i am baffled.
help!

I used the helpful little “add link” button (both Blogger and WordPress have it) so I didn’t have to do all the “a href” tags. Still, it took me quite a while! Thanks for acknowledging my pain!
Wow, way to go! Look at you!
You so deserve dozens of Rockin’ Blogger awards. And I’m lovin’ the idea of posting all eight of them. I think I got a few and I did want to use the CatWoman one in addition to the Rosie the Riveter… I’m following your lead. I’ll have to add another!
Again, congratulations and you totally rock.
Congratulations, Brillig! You do so rock!
Little help. When you have a minute.
Thank you for the award to me! Crazy that I don’t have the foggiest idea what that is about but…thank you!

I emailed you and edited my post so that it makes a little more sense–I hope! Thanks for pointing out my total lack of explanation! I’m sure I confused many, many people with this. I swear, if I drove the way I blog, they’d have taken away my license a LONG time ago. Sigh.
congratulations rocking girl blogger! (x8)
Luckyy! Gosh.
It totally sounds like I have to be totally not a retard to accept this award!
Kisses to you anyway!
I really like my man silhouette.

Okay, so the secret to the pics are that they’re pulled from MyBlogLog.com. Yeah, I can’t get the widget to work in the sidebar, but I can pull the pictures for comments. So if you want a picture here (and on lots of other blogs too!) go check that site out!
Yes, you have one of the finer man-silhouettes out there.
Woo-Hoo Brill!
That’s just excellent. Your little plan worked, and I can’t believe all the tinkering with the buttons going on. My awards all look the same. That’s okay, I like unity. And balance.
You do rock darling, I completely concur!
By the by, what were the issues with your two sidebars? I quite liked them. And I miss the bloglights. Is that coming back?
————-
I think that no one had a problem with my Blogger sidebars. It was that I couldn’t find a wordpress template that I liked and could tinker with that had a sidebar on each side, so I ended up with two sidebars on the same side. Cue whining… hahaha. Nah, I love feedback, and the feedback was, shall we say, unfavorable. But I feel like I need a second sidebar. I’m trying to cram too much stuff into one. But I’m SO not interested in finding a new template right now, now that I’ve finally got this one looking the way I want it to look.
And I like to think that yes, at some point the bloglights will be coming back. We’ll see…
And thanks.
(Don’t you all love when my comment on a comment is longer than the original post?)
Oh, and I like the top one. Cause I like the top!
Congratulations! They all DO have great taste!
You are just dripping in accolades! Congratulations to your bad self!
Aaahhh! I can’t believe I have to catch up on all blogworld happenings now! Being MIA for over a week and being thrown into the taggy crazy world of Brillig! Oh no ! Seriously though I’ll get on with it!
The only conclusion that can be drawn from this is that you TOTALLY ROCK! and good picks on the nominees… there are several in your list that I love too! and others that I’ll have to check out promptly.
Thank you! I am so honored!!!!!!! (Must be all the sex on my site lately).
This is just more proof that you rock, you know this, right?
wow, and wow. i have been enthralled for hours. and now i’m addicted to your blog!
you really DO rock!
congratulations to you on all your awards and well done on spreading the cheer. Huzzah!
Oh my goodness! Thank you for the Rockin’! I think you Rock big time! Hey there is a Awesome Guy Blogger award created by the same woman who made the Rockin’ Girl Blogger award. Thought I would share
http://newblogger.net/2007/06/20/something-for-the-guys
Congrats! Nice job on the awareds. I love the batgirl looking one.
And thanks for awarding me. Coming from you makes it even better!
Thanks for the award! I’ve nominated my five for inclusion!
You’re far too sweet Miss Brillig! Thank you! But, you should know this about me–I’m far to nice to participate in these things. I garnerned a few thinking blogger awards awhile back, but I could not bring myself to choose which bloggers to bestow the award upon. So, as a rule, I don’t play along because I just don’t have it in me to choose. I know….I’m bad. But, I appreciate the award! You are the Rockin’ Girl Blogger of the Century for sure!
Wtg and congrats on the awards. I am new to the world of blogging (relatively speaking) and most of my posts are just rants or fluff crap but I am really enjoying it. Yours always is a good read and I enjoy it very much. Keep up the good work.
Well, there are certainly some awards I like better here than the one I was awarded (the solid pink one.) Nonetheless, it was an honor, and even more so seeing some of the great blogs that went before me.
