Seven Links Challenge: Top Ten {Tuesday}

A few days ago (maybe weeks?) Darren at ProBlogger posted a little blogging exercise: The Seven Links Challenge. He gave seven prompts about your blog–links to find out more about yourself and your blog. I starred it in my reader and decided to give it a whirl…of course, I had to add #8-10. So, hopefully he’ll approve.

So. Here it is my TOP SEVEN TEN LINKS ABOUT MY BLOG, OHAMANDA:

1. My first post. Ah, my first post. I actually like this post. It’s about, what else? Blogging. Here you go: My First One.

2. A post I enjoyed writing the most. It’s called, “Something Beautiful Happened Today“. This is one of those posts I wrote in one sitting and it just flew out of my fingers. I was happy to post it. And I’ve looked back at it so many times to encourage myself.

3. A post which led to a great discussion. Two years ago I wrote a post about theology, aptly titled Oh Theology. It was much harder than I thought and it brought about some good discussion, but it was so intense that I could never write a Part 2.

4. A post on someone else’s blog you wish you’d written. Anything that’s ever flowed out of Scribbit’s fingers.

5. Your most helpful post. I don’t know if it’s the MOST helpful thing I’ve ever written–do I really write helpful posts?–but My Miracle, the story of Lydia’s first 6 weeks in utero is the first time I realized how powerful the internet could be. It was the first time I got interesting search engine hits—people would find that post by typing in things like “my baby’s heart just stopped beating” or “the doctor says my 6 week old baby is dead in my womb”. I pray I helped some mothers.

6. A post with a title that I’m proud of: Top Ten Snacks I Should Never Eat Again {But Will} and it’s alternate title “Top Ten Reasons I Think Exercise is Overrated”. Actually, I love most of my titles. I regularly snicker at them.

7. A post you wish more people had read. Love & Marriage or My First Parenting Scar. Both of these posts make my heart hurt.

8. A post with no words. You know a wordless post is very hard for me. But I do so love this picture: The Picture I’ll Cherish On Lydia’s Wedding Day. (Maybe that would have fit under the proud post title…)

9. A post you never published. I have 52 posts in my drafts folder. Some are there because they were only kinda-good ideas. Others are there because I’m too embarrassed to publish them.

10. Do you remember any of my posts? Any that stand out? Either good or bad? Funny or serious? (Really, leave me a comment, I’d love to know!)

OK! Your turn. Got a Top Ten list to share? If you’re stuck for a topic, I’d love for you to do my 7-turned-10 links from Problogger. It was fun. I loved re-reading all my posts to find some good ones. Also, made me really like my blog! *happy sigh* Regardless of topic, all you gotta do is WRITE a post, LINK back to me, PASTE your url below and start LOVIN’ on the rest of the participants with comments, tweets or at least a little bit of traffic!
