Hot on the heels of the awesome Versatile Blogger Award picked up on Monday from Kim Gosselin, I then discovered that I have also gone and got myself a coveted Very Inspiring Blogger Award from good blogging pal Gene Gordon of the “Sourcerer” blog.
Sourcerer is a blog about music, comics, photos and opinions. It is a multi-contributor outfit posting the latest happenings in the world of pop culture, humour, social commentary and geekery. If you need to learn the hard and fast facts about the state of this world, but want to get your side fill of special-edition Marvel comics and Star Trek features, let the Sourcerer work his magic on you.
In addition to Gene, the blog also showcases the works of four other bloggers, Gene’s sister Diana, who blogs under ‘Part Time Monster’ (a previous award sender of the Half-Eaten Mind), Comp Geek David, Quaint Jeremy and Marissa Bergen. An operation of family and friends, the Sourcerer is all about blogging for enjoyment, sharing the contributors’ individual and varied talents and reaching out to people with similar interests. They like to keep things loose and funny, but occasionally venture into the territory of political and social issues.
Gene himself was nominated for the VIBA by Nerd in the Brain on the 6th of July 2014 (Sunday) which he was very happy about and commented that it had come at a perfect time. All of the nominees Gene chose have been those who have inspired him in one way or another. I have inspired Gene on his Twitter journey and we have given each other a lot of support. I admire and am inspired by his writing skill, his grasp of multitudinous topics and the fact that he is an awesome guy to have known. Thanks very much!!
The Two Rules:
1) The nominee shall display the Very Inspiring Blogger Award logo on her/his blog, and link to the blog they got nominated from.
This award nomination was from Gene Gordon of ‘Sourcerer’. His nomination article can be found here.
2) The nominee shall nominate fifteen (15) bloggers she/he admires, by linking to their blogs and informing them about it.
My inspiring nominees are:
3. AJAYTAO BOTANICAL PHOTOGRAPHY
5. Dear Kitty
6. sachemspeaks
8. iiThinks
10. Alaturi de Tine…
11. Jo Robinson
12. FREE BIRD

You’re very welcome Inese. If you’ve already received this award, then you can accept it again or decline. What I normally do, is if I am nominated for an award which I’ve taken previously, but it has a different design of badge, I just accept it again. But it’s up to you. Hope this helps, and thanks for commenting too.

Very nice nomination post. Thanks for including all that info about my blogging.
And I’ve never seen the related content pull so many links that are so closely related. It pulled two more of my links, Three from people I chat with frequently, and one from a blogger who nominated me for an award a few months ago.

Thank you Gene, you’re right, the Related Articles feature is very strong in gathering connected links. I’ve seen do it with previous posts on my blog. It’s a godsend!

How do you get it to link to others instead of just your own content? Is that a plug-in?

There is a plugin called Zemanta. It used to come as standard with the HTML editor on WP, but then it was dropped. You can now download it as an add-on for your browser and it works as the previous inbuilt version did.
