Blog Award From Inwrite's Splize And Blog Reading

This is my 100th post in this blog, Trendy Karen, and I'm so lucky to focus the topic on winning blog awards. Three years ago, I started blogging with my husband's constant reaffirmation that I'll enjoy the hobby. I'm not really a full-time blogger that time since I have a day job in a writing company. Later on, I only blog when I feel bored and sometimes when inspired, and my favorite topic is of course, fashion. But when I realized that blogging is a way to build my new-found career, I discreetly studied the industry and molded myself to fit in. With that, I was able to find the job that I really love - fashion blogging.

I also participate in blogging contests and stayed as an active member of Nuffnang. When Joel of Inwrite invited me in the launching of their two amazing websites, Splize and Blog Proofreading, I've cheerfully participated the event and joined their Facebook Likes Contest and Blog Review Contests among other invited bloggers. Fortunately, I was able to bag the Best Blog Review For Splize website award with a $25 prize paid via Paypal and won two-time Facebook Likes for Blog Proofreading and Splize. Thanks to those who helped me in that great endeavor, especially to my supportive husband.

Honestly, I had initially considered blogging as a hobby. But when I had a full grasp of the opportunity to blend it with my writing career, I've decided to love it for career development. Until now, I still found blogging as a fun-filled activity. It also paved the way to meet other people and learn from them. To Ms. Andria and Mr. Joel, thank you for the wonderful opportunity to enjoy blogging through Inwrite's launching event and contests.

Trendy Karen Won Splize Blog Review Contest By Inwrite

If you remember receiving short messages from me asking your support for my entry in the Splize Blog Review Contest, you will surely be happy to know that my blog post was selected as the winner. This is a surprise for me, since my husband and I just prepared the piece in a short period of time. I asked his help to prepare the slide video we've posted at Youtube, Trendy Karen and Splize.com and I wrote the blog post.

Joel from I Am Joey Boy, a fellow blogger from Inwrite informed me that I'm one of the winners of their two contests. Today, I've learned that they already deposited the prize in my PayPal account, which is a good thing since I'm planning to pay and secure another set of domains. I'm really, really grateful to Splize, Inwrite and Codelean for the chance to participate in the blog review contest. To all who supported my entry through Facebook likes, I'm also very thankful. Though I didn't win their blog review contest for Blog Reading, I'm still very happy to experience blogging and learning a lot.
