The Blog Tag

I just got tagged by deanne01 – Vegan Book Blogger for this blog tag. This is her last post. I’ve never been tagged before, and I have to admit I am not entirely sure how it works but as I understand I should tag other people by linking to their website. I am also linking to their last post to generate a pingback because I don’t know how you would know otherwise. I selected some random fellow bloggers who I thought might find these kinds of games amusing but I certainly don’t expect anyone to participate. It is only if you feel so inclined. However, the opposite is also true, if you want to do it, tell me and I will add you. Below are the people I picked.

If you have been tagged (or want to be tagged) and want to participate then you answer the six questions below. My answers are included below.

How did you come up with your blog name?

This blog was originally a blog about our late Leonberger dog Bronco and the book I wrote about him “Le Life and Times of Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle”. The blog and the book is about his life so I chose the name “Leonberger Life”. The blog and the book also feature photos and information about Leonbergers. As time passed, I’ve added other topics too including my adventures and background as well as book reviews. I also launched a second blog “Super Factful”, which is about something different.

If your blog was a person (fiction or real), who would it be?

If my blog was a person, it would be our Leonberger dog Bronco. He was the best person ever.

What helps you create new content if you feel like you need some inspiration?

I get inspiration from looking at other people’s blogs or reading about Leonbergers.

Is there anyone you would like to collaborate with?

I have collaborated with a few people and that was fun. The first person I collaborated with was Jacqui Murray.

Is there anything more you wish you had or would like to learn as a blogger?

Yes, I need to learn how to use the Word Press features better, experiment with themes, and learn about SEO.

Do you have a specific style of blogging?

I am all over the place in terms of topics. When I review a Leonberger book I don’t hesitate to be critical, and I rate it from one star to five stars. I am trying to read all the Leonberger books there are, and I want to review them on my blog, so I need to rate the full spectrum. One day I would like to create a super post featuring around 40 Leonberger books. For other types of books, I like to keep it positive, so I only post books I thought were five stars. All other books I rate on Amazon but not on my blog. I like to add a lot of photos to my dog related posts.

My name is Thomas Wikman. I am a software/robotics engineer with a background in physics. I am currently retired. I took early retirement. I am a dog lover, and especially a Leonberger lover, a home brewer, craft beer enthusiast, I’m learning French, and I am an avid reader. I live in Dallas, Texas, but I am originally from Sweden. I am married to Claudia, and we have three children. I have two blogs. The first feature the crazy adventures of our Leonberger Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle as well as information on Leonbergers. The second blog, superfactful, feature information and facts I think are very interesting. With this blog I would like to create a list of facts that are accepted as true among the experts of the field and yet disputed amongst the public or highly surprising. These facts are special and in lieu of a better word I call them super-facts.

  5. Thanks for thinking of me for the tag. I enjoyed reading your question and answers. I used to do a lot of these tagging blogs, and also the blog awards question/answer ones, but don’t anymore. Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂

  6. Thanks very much for the tag, Thomas! I would like to participate, but it may take me a week or two. Hope that’s okay. Nothing wrong with being ‘all over the place’ on your blog. Keeps things interesting! My site is proudly ‘niche-free’ and I go where the muse leads. 🙂 Both of your blogs are enjoyable, but, unless you are planning to make money from them, I wouldn’t worry too much about SEO. You might sell a few more books, but honestly, it’s a pain-in-the-ass! 😝 Jacqui knows a lot about WordPress and offers good tech advice. I’ve been at it since 2009 myself (using the free site 2009-2013, self-hosted since then), and would be happy to help as well. Happy Labour Day weekend! 🍻

      2. congrats! maybe it’s an old thing that’s new again? btw, I learned a lot about wordpress at the start by taking a online course through my public library – Gale courses – maybe your library contracts with them too?

  11. Ahh, I remember 15 years ago when there was so much blog tag and blog awards and memes and such going around, Dennis the Vizsla had a weekly feature called “the sunday awards and meem show” (Dennis wasn’t big on correct spelling or on capitalization). My favorite was the one where he hired Darth Vader as a guest host. Those were fun times …
