I Got Bitten by the Blog Bug

So I was happy when I got online and read a wonderful message from my fellow blogger  ღღČяїstinEεїз. When I went to her page I was surprised to see that she nominated me for the Blog Bug Award! She's such a great blogger and I love her website so you should go check her out! She's really kind and always drops by your blog to check out if you've posted something new ;)

Here are the rules once you are awarded/tagged: 

• If you are given the Blog Bug award, You must answer the questions that follow and the title of the post should be "I Got Bitten by the Blog Bug"

• You must give the link of where you originally got this award, and you can tag as many bloggers as you want. Link their pages on the post and also inform them through comments in their blog. :)

• Optional: You must post a banner corresponding to the site that you are using to blog in your sidebar and it should link back to your post about the Blog Bug Award.

Questions

1)When and Why did you start blogging?

I started blogging 2 months ago and I thought of making a blog since I joined the social networking site, Chictopia. When I was browsing through the forums, there were a lot of bloggers who are sharing links of their blogs so I checked it out. I saw how wonderful their blogs are and that when they have fashion posts, you can tell more about the details and the like in your blog.

2)What do you love to blog about and why do you like it?

At first, my blog started out as a "fashion blog" but a few weeks later, I decided that I wanted my blog to show a lot more than fashion. I decided that I would make it my online journal and post other things like events/occasions, food, and other things that I love besides fashion so people can get to know more behind the blogger.

3)How did you get your blog name?

It's really hard for me to come up with a username ever since I joined social networking websites like Multiply, Tumblr, Twitter, etc. But I was easily able to come up with my blog name since it's the first time that I tried to blog openly. I have a personal blog which is like my diary and I don't really share it. So because it's my first time to blog publicly, I decided the name "Jasmin Tries To Blog".

4)What do you think is your best post yet?

I think my best post is "My Featured Blogger" post. Of course it's not only just one post and will have more to come in the future but I like these posts because it shows how I care about other bloggers as well and how I like to help share and spread other blogs too.

5)What is your inspiration for blogging at present?

My inspiration is my fellow bloggers. When I see their lovely posts, it makes me come up with ideas on what else I should put on my blog. Because I like what they are posting, maybe my readers would love my posts too when I post something else than what I usually do.

6)Message for your readers:

Dear fellow bloggers, I would just like to thank you for checking my blog every now and then. Thanks a lot for your sweet comments and for the awards that I've been nominated in. I never expected that I'd get this much readers and that I was able to grow in the blogging community because of you guys. :)
