Best Australian Blogs 2012’s People’s Choice: Vote For Me!

Hello chickens!

What a great start to the weekend. I have a brand new computer all set up (finally, after 4 years of using a 5 year old laptop) with a whopping 24″ monitor (I foresee further damaged eyes from watching one too many episodes of Gossip Girl on that baby), AND my husband found out that he passed a very important exam yesterday. Good times πŸ™‚

On another note, and I’m coming to the subject of my post for today, a few weeks ago, in between window-shopping on the Internet, I did something I’ve never done before for the blog. I submitted it for a competition. It’s the Best Australian Blogs 2012 competitionΒ by the Sydney Writers’ Centre,Β to be exact.

Gulp.

I’d be lying if I told you I wasn’t nervous and excited about it at the same time. This wee blog will be competing against a staggering 1024 blogs in Australia, and it’s freakin’ mind-blowing to be even shortlisted for anything. I’m getting butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it!

Here’s where you come in, dear readers. The first round of the competition will be the People’s Choice Round where you (and *ahem* hopefully your friends, family, 2nd auntie, 5th uncle, 7th cousin twice-removed) will be able to vote for your favourite blogs. In other words, please vote for yours truly πŸ˜›

If you click on the image below, you’ll see a short survey where all the blogs which have entered the competition. Assuming you will vote for me *ahem ahem*, just click on Find on your browser (or press Ctrl-F on your keyboard if you’re using a PC, Cmd+F for MAC) and type “beautyholics anonymous“, and you’ll be able to see my blog πŸ™‚

Best Australian Blog 2012 Vote For Me

Voting will close on Thursday, 9 May 2012 at 5pm.

If you’re on Twitter, the competition hashtag is #bestblogs2012.

It’s a great opportunity for my blog and I to grow, and I highly appreciate any votes I get. Your support means a great deal to me πŸ™‚

Thanking you in advance and wishing you a great weekend,
Tine xx

Bloggie Wednesdays: Making Your Blog Mobile-Friendly

Bloggie Wednesdays: Making Your Blog Mobile-Friendly

Hands up if you do a lot of blog reading on your phone. *wave mine frantically*

I do mine on the bus and train. It makes traveling with screaming children and stinky blokes after a game or a long day at work, a lot easier. I’m sure some of you do that too.

With many people using smart phones to surf the Internet these days, it’s essential that websites have mobile-viewing capabilities. Mobile sites pretty much dial down the bells and whistles of the website, removes all Flash (yes, the bane of all iOS mobile devices), ads, etc to enable quick and easy browsing. It also reduces the amount of bandwidth consumed, especially if you are on a tight data allowance with your mobile phone network.
