HELP! Bloggers World needs YOU!!!

Okay, that may sound a bit over-dramatic but the truth is that while we had a few awesome days filled with extraordinarily rocking stats in April and May, June has been a bit dismal. 

#discussion, #feedback, #help

Congratulations Bloggers World!!!

YAY!!!!! We bagged third place in ‘Best Blogging Services’ category at Annual Bloggers Bash Award. We’re thrilled to have been awarded the third spot 🙂

Thank you so much organisers, voters and the entire blogging community. A huge round of applause for everyone, especially those who voted for us. Congratulations to all the winning bloggers and a huge applause for the other nominees – particularly those in our category.
Special mention to Danny and Jacqui who were also nominated in our category and openly support and endorse Bloggers’ World.

Celebration (Photo Prompt – 9 June)

Calling all photographers… that is:

• people who fancy themselves photographers…
• people who are photographers but don’t fancy themselves…
• people who fancy becoming photographers…
• people who… you got it!

Calling also all and sundry non-photographers who have something to say upon the subject of CELEBRATION – being this week’s prompt – in any shape or form, let it be a haiku or cocktail mixing instructions (as long as you’re accompanying it with a photo, obviously)!

To take part in Shutterbug Showcase:
The prompt is “valid” for a week (from Thursday 9 June to Wednesday 15 June).
Please publish your post upon the theme of celebration during this time period on your own blog and leave a link to your post in the comments. Please also visit other participating members’ posts to give feedback!

For inspiration:

The Union Jack flying above the village pub, Cookham, England

England’s gone all patriotic in the last couple of weeks with Union Jacks hanging all over the place: one of the two yearly birthdays of the Queen is being celebrated… (Does this mean she gets two sets of presents?!)

CHANGES TO SHUTTERBUG SHOWCASE:

1. To make all our lives easier (and provide a little incentive for doing the photo prompt post), from now on whoever does the Thursday photo prompt, will choose the prompt for the week after. The June 16th photo post will be done by @niyati16 – your prompt is: Through the Window.
2. To help out @piyushavir, I’ve taken over the scheduling of Shutterbug Showcase for July & August. Please tag me, @arwen1968, if you want to nominate yourselves for doing the Thursday photo prompts. Thank you.
   The available dates for July are: 7 / 14/ 21 / 28 July
   The available dates for August are: 4/ 11 / 18 / 26 August

Happy blogging! 🙂
