UMBAD (3)


There are countless bloggers on the Internet, who write each day solely for pleasure of others. There are also a myriad of subjects and topics that get discussed each day. Some bloggers have hundreds of followers who are almost "blog groupies." Then there are the bloggers who are specialist in their area of interest and command a dedicated if small band of followers.

The Uncle Mort Blogger Award for Dedication (UMBAD) is awarded to those bloggers who in the face of adversity, keep stoically soldiering on. Sharing their interest and knowledge with unremitting dedication.


Uncle Mort brings a new Friday Blog of the week, each week on a Friday. The latest offerings often come from our personal collection of entertaining blog sites. Blogs which combine a catchy heading with an outlandish or intriguing subject matter.


This Fridays UMBAD award goes to Rose of Arden which is a three year old specialist blog on the subject of the Inland Waterways and Narrowboats.  However the blog frequently drifts off topic before returning back on course once more. Written very tongue in cheek and in a very entertaining style.

Typical postings include Boating Types you will find on various forums. My personal favourite is Swan Story you will never forget.

Quote "Some people might have something they feel is worthwhile to write about and in that case it would be something good for others to read. Some people have a diary that they like to keep - I look upon blogging as a form of diary keeping for all the voyeurs looking over your shoulder to read. The reasons for having a blog are as varied as the people who feel the need to write them. But, if it gives you an interest and some pleasure is gained, why not blog!"

You can submit any website for consideration for the UMBWA award. You do not have to be the author. Write a couple of paragraphs on why you think the website should be considered for this prestigious award. Titles must be catchy, content must be outlandish or intriguing. My indecision in awarding the award is final.

Regards.

Uncle Mort.
