Superbloggers

I have coined a new term: superblogger. I am fairly new at this whole blogging thing, but one thing I have found out in the last few months of having a blog is that I am definitely NOT a superblogger. I'm sure you're wondering what exactly a superblogger IS, and I'm going to tell you. There are certain criteria that a superblogger must meet and I have conveniently listed them here so you can, in fact, determine if YOU are a superblogger.

1) Superbloggers must have a blog with a catchy name-- preferably a 2 or 3 word alliteration with their last name. My friend Val's blog wins my favorite blog name contest because it is plain and simple, yet fits this criteria.... "Bateman Blogger". My problem is that I don't have a last name that begins with a "B" for "Blog". If ONLY my last name didn't start with an "M"! I am not clever and if any of you have suggestions for a catchy name for my blog, feel free to comment and suggest. Then I can change it and be on my way to becoming a superblogger.

2) Superbloggers must have a template other than the default templates offered from Google when you set up your blog-- and they must change with the seasons/holidays. I don't know if this requires Adobe or some program that I'm not aware of, but superbloggers know the trick.

3) Superbloggers must have at least 50 other blogger contacts and they must be listed and linked on their blog. If you will note-- I have only 12, which is a far cry from the required 50.

4) Superbloggers must have COMMENTS on their posts.... lots of them. I think my grand total for 1 post is 5 comments, and I think that is because someone accidentally posted their message twice. The last time I checked my friend Val's blog (she is, in fact, a superblogger) she had at least 24 comments from people wishing her a happy birthday! I don't think I have 24 friends in the world, let alone those with blogs who would take the time to check my blog and wish me a happy birthday. Props to Val the superblogger!

5) And FINALLY, superbloggers must have been tagged. Most superbloggers have been "tagged" multiple times with different tagging criteria. If you don't know what tagging is then you definitely should give up even trying to become a superblogger because there's no hope for you. I have never been tagged, unfortunately. I doubt anyone would tag me anyway because I delete those e-mail forwards with a similar idea that are "all about me" faster than you can say "superblogger."

There are probably more superhuman abilities that superbloggers possess, but these are the only ones my limited un-superblogger mind can come up with. Someday I vow to become a superblogger, even if takes me until I'm 65 years old to round up 38 more friends!
