I AM PART OF THE WORD PRESS FAMILY …. AWARD!!


I AM PART OF THE WORD PRESS FAMILY ....

I am honored and proud to say that I received a Word Press award yesterday from a very dear blogger.

This is the name of his blog: “Looking for a reason to a complicated world” …

He wrote:
“This is an award for everyone who is part of the “Word Press Family” I started this award on the basis that the Word Press family has taken me in and showed me love and a caring side only Word Press can.

The way people take a second to be nice, to answer a question and not make things a competition amazes me here. I know I have been given many awards, but I wanted to leave my own legacy on here by creating my own award, as many have done before.

This represents “Family” we never meet, but are there for us as family. It is my honor to start this award. Thank you,

Shaun @ http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com/

I have not given out an Award for a few months now, so I would like to give this to 10 people who only recently followed me or 10 I have got friendly with lately. If you have this Awards already I will see and not pass it on, if you have and I can’t see it, please, add “Awarded x2” below or pass it on to a friend

This award means a lot to me, I made it at a time I needed this place here, people here saved my from myself, amazing people, people who were just there, strangers who wanted to help, and I am I not above seeking help or accepting some should it come my way.
Thank you again, Word Press

More love, less hate … Shaun

I will now nominate 10 people;

Shaun’s Rules:
1. Ping back to the person who gave you the Award (Me)
2. Display the Award
3. Display the text in Red as I want people to know why I made it (**I wonder if I can do this!)
4. Nominate 10 people you look to as almost Family here on Word Press”

———————————————————————————————————–

I am honored to have been nominated for this award. It means a lot to me because, like Shaun, I have made new cyber-friends and have been educated in so many ways, on so many topics.

I think there are “masters” of this craft out there and to be considered good enough to be nominated for this award humbles me. I’m a newbie!! .. and I learn new things everyday … and for that, I’m thankful.

————————————————————————————————–

**At this time, I will nominate 10 people who have educated me, impressed me. inspired me throughout my short time in this “venue”:

I have learned about history, political topics, personal issues and tribulations, medical conditions and coping mechanisms, rambling musings, history, sexuality, photography, art, poetry, prison movements, science and so much more.

I have seen blogs that are absolutely beautiful in their format. I have learned how to add videos to a post to make it more understandable and to help the words come alive.

The beauty of this is that one post inspires to write another. One topic leads the way for a new idea to research and post about.

I’m in the process of learning to change the appearance of my blog, display the notices I receive from Word Press and display the awards that you have bestowed upon me.
That is still a work in process. I feel there is still so much more that I need to learn.

Someone has told me that this isn’t that hard. So … I will try. I’m keeping my fingers crossed to find the “dashboard” and be able to achieve this. I do hope that the dashboard is “user friendly”.

I don’t want to copy anyone but I do want to be able to reach the quality that you have shown me is possible.

So …. here goes!! From my heart …. To part of my Word Press Family!!

Celine Dion & Josh Groban Live “The Prayer” (HD 720p)

This is an interesting story and such a beautiful song. I dedicate it to you, my Word Press Family …..

We dream a world without violence
a world of justice and faith.
Everyone gives the hand to his neighbors
Symbol of peace, of fraternity

We hope each soul will find
another soul to love

The force his gives us
We ask that life be kind
is wish that
and watch us from above
everyone finds love
We hope each soul will find
around and inside
another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer, just like every child

Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe

We ALL are ONE!!! We ALL are connected by this wonderful WEB!!!

  1. Thank you so much for this kind honour, I feel privileged only knowing you a short time… I have had many awards offered me in the past, and recently I have passed up quite a few, simply because I have been too lazy to follow the rules etc…

    This one may take me some time to put together but I do intend to pass it on, for our WP family is growing, as we unite with like minded souls who share their hearts, ideas and bring their love through poems, arts and crafts into our lives..

    Thank you so much for linking me within your family ….

    WE are ONE within the Family called the Human Race…. No creed, no colour, just human beings who have forgotten how to connect via their deepest emotions, as they have thought themselves separate and alone . We are connected via the web of Love would that we reach out and open our hearts….
    Thank you my sister! 🙂 and to Shaun who instigated this award ..

      • In widgets there SHOULD be a youtube widget..
        In there drag it to the side bar..it will open up
        You put the Artist-song at the top
        Below you have to tag it, like you would in a blog
        This is the tag with spaces…..
        [ you tube = URL OF VIDEO ]
        If you put that all together with whatever url from you tube, the video will appear..remember to save!!
        Each time you change the song, just carefully copy and past the song into where the old URL was…

        Let me know if it works..

      • Forget the 1337 one.Here is why..
        http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090514175157AAzN95j
        It is a code error…
        If you can take a screen shot of your 1000 followers…send it to me,, I can make it a badge…
        Best way is focus on it or go to it…
        Control/alt/print screen…
        Paste in .Word
        Copy from there
        Paste into Paint..
        Save as a Jpeg..
        Send it to me..

        I make the 1,000 badge..
        or I could just send you my 1,000 badge..
        If not..do as I said…Zoom into your browser in Tools i think, make everything bigger..
        Cont/Alt/Print Screen
        Open Word and just paste..
        From there, copy
        then paste into paint..save as Jpeg..
        send what it is you want… I send you a badge back to host…

  6. Congrats Horty!!

    I’m definitely referring back to this exchange because I’m fairly new in changing the appearance of my blog. One thing I did learn about embedding Youtube videos is that if you add “&rel=0” after the embedding code, it eliminates the thumbnail videos from being shown at the end of the video.

    Also, I’m looking forward to having more time to get to know the Word Press family. Hugs and best wishes to everyone!
