I like to get awards and it's really thoughtful, but I usually don't pass it on.<br /><br />Jessica @ <A HREF="http://thebluestockings.com/" REL="nofollow">The Bluestocking Society</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-38928462168013234072009-04-25T23:15:00.000-06:002009-04-25T23:15:00.000-06:00Interesting to hear all your different opinions on...Interesting to hear all your different opinions on awards.

It doesn't mean anything if everyone has one (or twelve).Rebecca Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062252252301802298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-80561124247224519462009-04-24T05:34:00.000-06:002009-04-24T05:34:00.000-06:00I'm with you.

No more "you must give the award to x number of people". Awards should be given gratis with no strings attached and anyone can give them out, not just those who receive them.<br /><br />So, if I'm in a cheerful mood one day and feel like giving some awards out I'll do so and the recipients are NOT required to do anything but accept them publicly. I like those rules better.Nikki in Niagarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13348586723780500367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-64460074953029321402009-04-24T02:37:00.000-06:002009-04-24T02:37:00.000-06:00That is a really interesting question!

As there are so many floating around, and you are supposed to give them to far more people than the one person who gave you award they do tend to get out of hand, leading to everyone getting one, which leads to the awards losing their "specialness" (sorry that isn't really a word!)<br /><br />I am starting to think about how I might handle awards in the future, as I don't think it looks right to have so many award posts on one blog. I think I might just post once a month about them. I'd love to know who starts them too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-49153869747396390952009-04-23T20:46:00.000-06:002009-04-23T20:46:00.000-06:00Congrats, you deserve them!
