My personal opinion only,
The ones that break through all that noise in the blogosphere to reach us are resourceful.
The ones that got us to “like” them are effective.
The ones that got us to follow them are interesting.
The ones that did all of the above and influenced our thoughts/actions are… versatile.
I had to use the word “versatile” because… you guessed it, this is yet another versatile award post! Well actually, it is a double award post.
I am sorry because award posts may be a little self-serving :(
So who are these bloggers that have influenced this blog and its content?
(I have named some of these people many times so please bear with me! :P)

Seven things about me
How to follow blogs that are not on wordpress.com via the WordPress Reader
1. I found out recently that it is possible to follow blogs that are not on WordPress.com via the WordPress Reader.
This is how you do it:
How to follow external blogs on WordPress Reader
[1] Click “Reader” tab to go to the Reader page.
[2] Click on the “Edit” button next to the “Blogs I Follow” button.
[3] The list of blogs you follow will appear. There will be a field right on top under the “Edit Blogs I Follow” title. Fill in the web address of the blog you want to follow, in this case I put in the Dogs N Pawz URL.
[4] Click “Follow”. If nothing goes wrong, you should now see the website appearing in the list with the other blogs you are following.
More details from these pages on WordPress support and WordPress blog.
I don’t know why I’ve ignored that field all along even though it sits right on top of the page there! I must have been blind. Maybe you guys knew all along and I have been the only one in the dark. D:
I do use the WordPress Reader to follow blogs, much more often than the other service Feedly that I have on my web browser. However, it seems Wordpress sometimes had a moodswing and swallowed posts at times. I know it happened to Ruby the Black Labrador and me.
Still, I am quite glad that I can add outside blogs to the reader. I’m just too lazy to use multiple readers. :P
The other six will be Six of Donna’s favourite things, to satisfy both award requirements. :P
2. the humans in the house
3. the humans in the shelter Donna came from
4. the grass outside!
5. chicken and eggs, fresh boiled ones
6. the toy of the day, but only if the human is throwing it
7. yogurt and milk, mmmm-mmmm!
Leaving you with this cute video via nodogaboutit. Both award requirements below if you are interested to respond.
