Blog of the Month - August Winners
It seems we hit the jackpot with this month's Blog of the Month. We had a record 19 - yes, nineteen entries plus five from the team making a total of 24. The team's entries, of course are not eligible nor were those that didn't drop their the links in Discord or in the comments on the announcement post.
But first
The usual bit of housekeeping: the number of Silver Bloggers continues to increase and we're now at just 102 short of the magic 1,500 subscribers. Activity is hard to judge as Hive rises and dips and as life happens for our Silver Bloggers.
As always - a thank you
To everybody who contributes to making this a fun community and especially to our delegators. Right now we have about 8,200HP in delegations which means that the value of our votes on members blogs has some real value.
Speaking of...watch this space as we have news coming soon...
The team's contributions
As we mentioned, all five of the team took us through four or more decades of musical memories, from the 1950s to the 2020s. Each is unique and I recommend you pop over and have a listen to the eclectic selection from each of us. The links, in no particular order:
- @lizelle Silver-Blonde Lizzie's Musical Time Travel
- @coquicoin Silver Cat's From a Dancing Queen to a Motomami
- @mondoshawan Silver Fish's Music was, is and always will be my first love
- @tengolotodo Silver Scot's Way Down but the King Live on
- @fionasfavourites Silver Flower Six decades, only six songs? Impossible
The business end
Because we had so many lovely entries to choose from, including some that weren't eligible to be considered - and we did read them all - Silver-Blonde Lizzie decided that a couple of other standout posts should get some special attention. First up, new Silver Blogger, @juliamulcahy, who shared Lazy Sunday Musical Interlude and @annafenix's 4 Great Musical Decades.
Pop over and have a listen?
Runners up
As usual, we had runners up and again, in no particular order, @tere.alv shared four of her favourite songs and @mjvdc talks about how music is her best companion.
Last but not least
Again, we had an outright winner.
We loved how our Silver Farm Girl shared her musical love story from that first love to the one who walked her down the aisle as a (still) married woman.
The prizes
This week's prize pot is a whopping 48 Hive, and more:
To the winner
- 10 Hive sponsored by @lizelle that she will send directly to the winner's wallet

Walang anuman CJ😁😁
Yes engaging is fun and helps a community grow:)
Um... being a bit of a bot again...
how do I find the topic for BOM for September, Oh wise one?
well we have not release the BOM for September yet, we are doing silver prompts, and I tagged you on my entry for the latest one which finishes midnight of the eighth
Okay, Captain my Captain.
Got my prompt almost done yesterday and to follow...
Staggering things makes sense! 👍
I'm on the road for the rest of the day but will read you before I go.
My M.O is also to return and reblog to help increase exposure after the initial ruckus has died down a bit as well so... yes... I know that's not the way for curation and rewards and blah blah...
but it is the way for the people :)
See you for sure! 💚
okay I am glad, I need to go and moderate and see who has posted!
Enjoy your day, for once I have nothing to do and it is pissing with rain so I am home woohoo!
We are the people 💙 #watp ;)
Ah... enjoy the hibernating :)
Cool my people. See you in the streams and shares shortly!
Beautiful day 🌼
Beautiful day, pff well the weather is rian rnai and yes rain.
Just had dinner so yes a beautiful day:)
Thank you very much @tengolotodo! 😊
My pleasure :)
Thank you very much @tengolotodo
My pleasure Tere :)
Thank you for the special mention. I really enjoyed writing my first BoM and have loved being part of such a welcoming community.
Congratulations to everyone who took part. I haven't quite read them all yet, but I am making my way through them. Such great toons!
We absolutely loved your entry @juliamulcahy, and are so happy that you've joined us!
PS You could very well have ended up higher in the rankings if you had shared your link in the announcement post as well...just so you know next time...our topics are always really nice ones.
A very well deserved mention🤗
Thank you, @lizelle. I will make sure I do that next time.
I think you may have even mentioned it to me in the comments on my post. Lol! I guess I must have got distracted at the time. That happens a lot! 🤗
Congratulations Silvers - You Rock!
We all do 😃
Well done to all the winners, and to all those who participated. You are winners too.
Lovely posts, well done.
congrats winners!!! gotta read all the entries but let me start with @ifarmgirl :)
Thank you very much my dear friends for making me part of this select group of participants, congratulations to all the winners, especially my friend @tere.alv.🌷
I'm SO bummed I missed this one. What an AWESOME prompt!
Now going through to savour for the next few days...
Can I ask to be tagged on future BOM prompts if it's not too much trouble or extra admin, please?
😁
I have the concentration of a squirrel on Hive. I get totally distracted and end up in new and wonderful places with new and wonderful people. Then the inevitable FOMO when I miss something.
And I haven't gotten my timing and admin right. Yet! (Although to be honest this has been a challenge for me for years... avoidance, procrastination, random bursts of creativity, unexpected life stuff... you know the drill)
Like right now I can find the next Sliverprompt but not the BOM for September... (am I being botty again? )
Hi @nickydee,
The September #bom has not been published yet.
There's nothing stopping you from writing on any of the expired #bom or #silverprompt topics, it obviously won't be considered for prizes or the curation post, but if it's too late, just don't use those tags. It can still be curated by our team. We merely run those to help with writer's block😉
Please read the last #silverprompt post & follow the steps at the end of that post on how to follow @hive-106316 so you cannot miss any of the prompts.
Silver-Blond Lizzie
Copy that and thank you.
I'll figure it out eventually! I managed to get one in today.
I hope I got it right... if not then hey. You got me writing again anyway
And that's the point! 😁
Thanks for all your guidance and patience!
