Triond.com supplies members and visitors with a Hot List of Popular Writers and a list of Popular Stories. Naturally, these are the first articles I browse through when I sign in. I was thinking, "How do I get my name up in lights too?". I realized that I would need to publish more, receive more comments and 'likes'. Then I thought about all of the other 'no-name' freelancers that are asking themselves the same thing. The hours that I spend per day on the website, reading articles, commenting, and managing my own articles, I should put the great websites that I find up on a page. I was finding some great work that I just happened to stumble onto. Maybe the site needed more visibility or bookmarks to be more successful. In any event, I thought that these articles should be recognized by a peer. Some came The "Triondys".
The Triondy Awards were a success right off the bat with the winning writers submittin their comments and acceptance speeches. Everyone seemed really grateful to be recognized for their great work. I really don't think that these writers should have been so surprised. The pieces written were unique, very well put together, and carried an interesting voice.
One Regret.
There is a Subgroup Award called "The Best Con-Artist". I will be taking this award down for week ending June 21st. It was meant to be funny and 'call-out' someone who published that article for clicks. I was really sort of mean to one writer that won this award last week. I was frustrated by some of the garbage articles I had to read to get to some great ones. Not all of the good articles win and it is often a toss-up between 2 or three articles for the winner. I should start given runner up mentions/awards. Yes. I think I will do that. Writers should know that their articles were up for the award and so should the readers.

Hi Andromeda,
The triondy awards was an excellent idea. Maybe you can create some pictures associated with the award.

Thank you Hein for following me here. It has been tough trying to sort everything out. Great idea to add pictures. I tried the first week I did the awards and they did not publish them. I wonder if I should try again. Thanks for posting!
