UPDATE:
Hey folks! Our winner is:
http://www.breakfastwithbentley.com/
A blog run by Kristine and ably assisted by Bentley the dog.
How about you put Saturday 16th May (tomorrow) in your diary and pop round and say ‘Hiya!’ to Kristine.
If you miss Saturday then just go visit any time and tell her The Ed sent you for Who Shall We Visit!
____________________________________________________________
So This Is How It Works
1. Y’all nominate a generous blogger, generous as in:
a) they are a community regular or newbie here that adds good stuff to the conversations.
OR
b) they are known around the blogosphere for supporting and visiting other bloggers.
2. I’ll announce the most nommed once there’s enough names.
3. We all go visit them on a set date, say howdy and introduce ourselves so it has real traffic impact and of course any time after if you think you like them! If all goes well. We do another..and another…and another…
I’d love more people to check out my page, I can’t figure out why not many people check it out. If anyone has any tips, I’ll take constructive criticisms.
I’m concerned about OM too. Could it be that he has too many followers? As far as being offended by him goes… stop following if he offends! That troll had a spur in his saddle for him for sure!
It appears that he was having a lengthy and ongoing argument with somebody online, all of which I had no idea was going on. He may just be laying low as a result.
Does anyone know why OM’s blog has disappeared? His blog was my blogging bible. I wonder if it had to do with that troll who was dogging him.
Anyway, I nominate https://butchcountry67.wordpress.com/
Maybe he’s just having a time off. Looks like he has made it private rather than been banned which is a good thing.
I’m sure he wouldn’t just go private for no reason because he seemed to love interacting with the public so much. I bet it’s a safety measure of some kind.
Having read a few follow ups it would seem so. 😯 – had no idea!
Huh!! Contest?? Winner??? What? Where?? Sorry…i had dozed off!!! 😛 Trust Lady Ed to come up with such innovative ideas! 🙂 Let me share a blog i love…
https://culturegeekfashionoid.wordpress.com/
She is an awesome paper-cutting artist!
Coolio. Will check her out!
Made my visit… 🙂 who’s next?? 🙂
*Whisper* I was saving mine! I’ll probably make a few visits in the end! – Well done you though! If I remember correctly you were one of the reasons for the choice.
THANK YOU! How nice of you to spread the word about my blog… not to mention on Bentley’s Birthday! I couldn’t think of a better birthday present! 🙂
Ha! No? Really! How fantastic! Big love to Bentley (and maybe a bone or treat or two) will be over soon to visit!

Yeah!! Good choice!! 🙂 Will stop by for sure!

A great winner!
Good stuff!
I would love to nominate Linda from Nutsrok (https://nutsrok.wordpress.com/). Her blog is so entertaining and she is always there, supporting other bloggers.
Thanks AMV!
I want to nominate Lia from https://lifestyleswithlia.wordpress.com/ . She may not blog every day, but she leaves supportive and uplifting comments, not only on my blog, but others’ as well, every day!! sometimes her comments bring tears to my eyes because of her style and genuine affection for her fellow bloggers!
Okay, got it. Thanks Terri! Good to hear.
A great blog! I agree!
🙂
Hi there, due to following other bloggers I stumbled on the recent on line action of “1000 Voices speak for Compassion” By participating, which was a last minute rush and could not resist speaking up before closing time, I found this wonderful blog of a fellow Aussie that I have followed ever since. I would love to nominate Rowee and her blog https://beyondtheflow.wordpress.com/2015/04/23/after-the-sydney-storm/comment-page-1/#comment-2138
Thanks for the opportunity to shine a light on this well deserving lady,
Pollyesther
Okay, thanks Pollyesther!
I’d like to nominate two WordPress bloggers:
Gilly Goldsworthy at “Lucid Gypsy” and
Lee Dusing at “Lee’s Birdwatching Adventures Plus.”
Both are on WordPress, and both are very good to visit other bloggers and comment supportively. They also encourage their own readers to visit other blogs as well, and even post articles and pictures by others.
Do you need the links now or only if they are the most nominated?
You can post the links any time Sandra so that even before counting the noms if folks want to visit them they can. Thank you.
I just love almostiowa.wordpress.com. Could we visit him?
Noted Ibeth!
What a great idea!
🙂
How wonderful! Truly, truly a coool plan. ~m

I second Shauna841505…. I just checked out Breakfastwithbentley…good read! I’ll be following that one for sure 🙂
Nice one Jenn! 🙂
Do we have a winning blog to visit? Or did I miss the post on that 🙂
You’ve missed it! WHERE WERE YOU?! There were drinks, music and dancing girls… 😉
No I want to put it out again and see if I can add more folk to it because I want it to have a REAL impact on whoever we visit, not just 2 or 3 folk – although that’s good too. If not, I’ll find another way to drive traffic to the lovely bloggers.
I like this idea! I’m a new follower of this site, and I love it already!
I would like to nominate Todd from https://forgottenfilmcast.wordpress.com . He also encourages a sense of community among bloggers by hosting Blog-A-Thons. For example, last year he hosted a Big League Blogathon (https://forgottenfilmcast.wordpress.com/tag/big-league-blogathon/). Bloggers would write an article about baseball in film. Then during the blogathon week, he posted the links to the bloggers pages. I was too late for the party on that one. However, at the end of August, I took part in his 1984-Blog-a-Thon (https://forgottenfilmcast.wordpress.com/2014/06/05/announcement-1984-a-thon/). It was the 30th anniversary for so many great movies. So, the same thing happened. During the week of August 25-31 he posted links to bloggers’ articles about their assigned movie. This helped me discover several great bloggers, and I got several new followers as well!
Thanks for doing this!
– Paul from Return to the ’80s
Oh very nice indeed. Thanks Paul. Noted.
Ooh, this is very new to me: new blogger, so I hope I’m participating correctly. I’d like to nominate The Life Project: https://lifereference.wordpress.com as for me personally he’s been very encouraging to get connected and from my personal experience is the kind of blogger to ‘go the extra’ in building community
Oh nice one Melissa! Like him already. 🙂
I nominate Kristine from http://breakfastwithbentley.com/ – She’s amazing and is extremely active in building blogging relationships! Also, I agree, Jess, from Anderson Ever After
Thank you. Noted.
I have another newbie for you: The Denner Table (a former classmate of mine) – fun to read. (also WordPress)
Thanks Laura.
I was just going to ask the same question about how long we have! I read your posts and most of the comments so I need some time to go back and see who’s who..haha…this is a great idea though! After the last one I did have a few people stop by…I’ve been enjoying reading some new blogs!
Ok, time to grab a coffee and do some reading 😉
I’m going to go with the flow JG, so it could be a week or more to see if enough numbers build up to really make a difference to folk’s blogs.
And great to hear folks have been stopping by. Fabulous!
I’d like to join but not sure how much time I need to spend here. When is this due??? Can I come back to you later after my work in 10 hours or so probably 😀
Great idea by the way!
As much or as little as you like. Just be natural about it. If folk see you around and nom you we visit! The good thing is that it’s not down to me! I’m going to give it the time it needs to build sufficient noms – a week? 2 weeks? We’ll see.
Can the blogger nom him/herself?
Ooogh good question! I’m going to say ‘no’ after much thought because blogging is about community.
Not you but a lot of folks don’t realise that the sheer act of taking time to get to know others is what builds blogs. They keep thinking there is some deeper secret behind blog building.
By having to check out someone else to nominate, newbie bloggers will be doing what the blogging goliaths have done since blogging began to grow their blogs.
I agree! So I will start reading more and will nominate soon!
Excellent stuff!

Sounds like a great idea. First name that pops in my mind is OM over here at HarsH ReaLiTy: http://aopinionatedman.com/
Okay great. I had to laugh a bit with this one as I don’t think a shortage of readers is a problem OM has! Still if he gets the most noms we visit! 🙂
That is very true 😉
🙂
I nominate Anderson Ever After and Kaui from Maui – both on WordPress. Jess from Anderson has some good followings but Kaui is a young blogger who is fun to read.
I loveeeeeeeee Jess from Anderson Ever After too! 🙂
