I am sure you have guessed what will be involved, but before I go into detail I would like to just give a little background to the idea.
One of my favourite blogs called High Class Equine (HCE) has started a new initiative called 'Walking the blogs' whereby any blogger on their 'walking the list' can showcase what their blog is about to all of HCE's Readers. Luckily the first blogger to take up their offer was a guy called Rowan who runs an excellent blog called The Portfolio Investor . I was intrigued to read what Rowan had to say because I am very interested in the portfolio approach to betting.(Meaning you follow a group of different tipsters using the logic that if they all have an edge, your betting can be more like investing rather than gambling)
I found the post a fascinating read, if you would like to read the post to get a flavour of what it is all about click on this link: Walking The Blogs: The Portfolio Investor
I thought that the above was a great idea and it got me thinking of how I could showcase different bloggers who I think deserve to be read by a wider audience. At first I could not think of a way of adding value for my blogs readers, so I wrote the idea down on my todo list for future reference.
Well I did not have to wait long to find a way to add what I consider will be great value for my blogs readers.
I was reading a post on a new blog called 'The Bankbuilder'.
Jake, the blog owner, posted a quote by the legendary gambler and horse owner J P McManus,
"Racing is a great leveller. The day you think you have mastered the game, you will be made to pay for it the following day.What you must do is build up a bank of experience that allows you to reduce and eliminate as far as possible the factors that make for foolish betting. In a word, you act to strict ground rules always and you endeavour to become an investor rather than a pure addictive gambler..."
The quote in itself is a great read but what I really liked about the post was that Jake then went on to break the quote down into a checklist of 10 items that he believes is required for successful race track speculation.
I was so impressed with the list that I felt compelled to comment and I have bookmarked the page so that I can refer back to it on a regular basis.
That is when I realised how I could showcase different blogs to my readers which will hopefully gain extra readership for the blogger and add value for my blogs readers.
The idea is simple: Every time I find a blog post (new or old) that I think will add value for my readers, I will bookmark it and put it on the list to win my Blog Post Award.
What I plan to do is add an icon near the top of my home page that links to the current 'blog Post Award'.
