A CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY MESSAGE TO ALL

Well the Christmas period has officially begun for those who celebrate it so i would like to start my day by wishing everyone who knows me & those who have yet to a very merry Xmas & hope you get everything you asked for & a few suprises besides. Have a great holiday everyone. May your troubles be forgotten over the holiday period & life bring you only joy & happiness to you & your families.

P.S.
I will be working behind the scenes over the weeks before & after Xmas starting tomorrow (my birthday), & i WILL be dropping off the odd picture, HOW TO video & the odd blog & forums updates along the way. Though they 'may' be un-announced here & other places. So check around where you know i hang out. I will be back properly after the New Year period with loads more goodies.

THE official DARKSIDE AWARD LIST

Below you will find the ONLY OFFICIAL listing to those blogs that i felt were truely a blog of note. Anyone on this list are the ONLY recipients to whom i 'personally' sent the DARKSIDE AWARD FOR CREATIVE ART & SHARING WITH OTHERS. If you are NOT on this list then your award did NOT come from me & is therefore a total FAKE.

MY FEELINGS ON THE AWARDS SCHEME

They should be JUST THAT, an award given because it has been earned for both producing an informative, funny or worthwhile blog of some note as well as sharing information that helps others learn something. I truely abhore the idea that an award is simply given under this 'pyramid scheme' where the original sender is at the bottom of a list of 'senders' of awards. Then the 'senders' gain blog visitors by means of link backs through these awards. For 'me' this makes the awards nothing more than meaningless & empty trash & a cheap visitor gaining scheme that should be stopped!. If anyone is going to give an award then DO THAT, give an award & make it mean something. Not just a cheap scheme to gain bigger visitors numbers on your blog.

Darkside Awards ARE only that 'awards' that i felt were truely deserved!. There is NO unspoken or hidden obligation or intent that the DARKSIDE CREATIONS award be used as a link back to my blog here. In fact i ask that it is NOT used for this purpose, it is simply a well deserved award from me nothing more.
