More Awards and Another Meme ...

My best buddy, the elusive Genie King (elusive cos he still owes me my wish!) tagged me a week or so ago on this blogging tips meme. I've also been tag on my other blog for this and have already posted it there, but it really wouldn't be fair to my buddy if I didn't post it here as well. He did take the trouble to 'torture' me by giving me another tag to do, like as if I don't have all that many to do already ... LOL!

He's also awarded me with some awards as well and since I'm already here I thought I might as well thank him officially for thinking of me when he was handing out awards :) Thanks buddy but I think my award cabinet is bursting at the seams already ... LOL!

So, before I post my blogging tips, I'll just proudly display my awards here for all the world to see ... hehehe ...

And I'd like to award this award to following bloggers as I feel they deserve the awards :)
