Hi there! Your blog caught my eye on blog surfer because we use the same WP theme, and low and behold, you’re also a writer as I am. I enjoy your voice, and liked the bit of Ella that I read (couldn’t finish — time was rushing by). I’ve been planning to shift some of the features of my website to WP and you’ve shown me how well it can be done.
Come over and visit me on my blog sometime.
All the best,
Frankie Robertson

Hi, Leila. I am going to sound like such a newbie here – how would I actually do a “Versatile Blogger” award post like you did? I looked for instructions on support and forums, but I couldn’t find detailed information about it – just links to people’s posts about winning! But how does one get the graphic? Is it sent to you by WordPress? How do you formally nominate the other 15 people? Is it just by the act of linking them in your post? And insights you could offer would be most welcome!
