Carrying On Regardless

 

As you know I entered Carry On Blogging into the Arts and Culture section of the 2016 UK Blog Awards. The shortlisting process is now complete and the lists have now been revealed. Sadly Carry On Blogging has not made it to the next round.

It was a long shot I know, the blog has only been going for 10 months and is pretty small in size to many of the other blogs I was up against. It was still worth a go though and I'm still proud of this blog. I'm also thrilled with how much support I did receive from so many fellow Carry On fans out there. It's always great to hear from you all and to know that you appreciate the blog and my writing. 

So while I may not have been shortlisted this year, there's always next year's awards! All that remains to be said is that I plan to Carry On ... Regardless!

Thanks for your ongoing support!

 

P.S - many congratulations to my fellow bloggers over at the Coronation Street Blog which has been shortlisted in two categories. I have contributed regularly to the Corrie Blog for over three years and it totally deserves this recognition.

Thank you for supporting Carry On Blogging in the UK Blog Awards!

As you will no doubt be aware I have entered Carry On Blogging into the Arts and Culture section of this year's UK Blog Awards. I have been plugging this repeatedly on Facebook, Twitter and this very blog for the past month, so thanks for putting up with that!

Voting closed at 9pm last night and those shortlisted will be revealed on 29 January. Although Carry On Blogging has only been going since March 2015 and is still a very small, not for profit hobby for me, I thought I should try my luck. As ever, I am so grateful to all my loyal friends on Twitter and Facebook who have voted, supported, favourited and retweeted. No matter what happens, I am chuffed to bits that so many of you both enjoy my writing and also took the time and trouble to vote for me. It means a lot.

I have absolutely loved my Carry On Blogging journey so far. When I started the blog at the end of March this year I had no idea if I would even still be writing it in the run up to Christmas, never mind entering for an award. I have now written well over 500 blogs on all things Carry On, have over 3000 followers on Twitter and have received over 85,000 hits on the blog.

I wouldn't get half as much pleasure out of running this blog if it wasn't for all you lovely fellow Carry On fans, so thank you for supporting the blog this far.

Carry On!

I've also run several polls on the blog, asking you to pick your favourite Carry On supporting actor and most recently, your favourite of all June Whitfield's many celebrated performances. I now run a regular Carry On Fan of the Week blog and it's always great to hear from my regular readers both in these blogs and through the wonderful world of Twitter.

Happy New Year from Carry On Blogging!

I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are ready for all that 2016 has to offer! 

I am hoping 2016 will be another great year for Carry On Blogging. As well as all the usual blog features, including regular Carry On Fans of the Week, Carry On Heroes of the Week and Whatever Happened To ... blogs, I also hope to feature some more guest blogs from some of you, so get in touch!

January will begin with the launch of the 2016 UK Blog Awards. Although barely a year old, I've decided to enter these awards in the Arts and Culture category. I hope you will vote for Carry On Blogging! Plenty more on that to come.

February will bring the 90th anniversary of Kenneth Williams' birth. I plan to mark the occasion with several blogs about the great man. As Kenneth's diaries become available at the British Library, I also hope to get a closer look at them.

And in March, Carry On Blogging will celebrate its first anniversary! I will be marking this milestone with some celebratory posts.

So plenty to watch out for in 2016!

Carry On!
