and Hits 200 Followers!

Hello, my dear blog buddies and readers. Today is a very special day for me, as my blog celebrates its 2nd anniversary. Yay! Happy Birthday, CineMarvellous! It's been two years now, and the blogging experience has been tremendous. I wouldn't change it for anything. Thank you, Blogger, for the opportunity!

So far, my blog has been visited exactly 77,437 times by 15,002 unique visitors from 143 different countries. Isn't that amazing? In my wildest dreams I would never imagined that my blog would become that fairly successful and read by thousands of people. Thank you all!

Furthermore, today I hit 200 (now 201) followers and I couldn't be happier that I got my 200th follower exactly on this particular day. Thank you, Doralynn for becoming the 200th member of my blog! A big thanks to all my followers and regular (and not that regular) readers. I've created this movie blog because of my huge passion for cinema, but mostly because of you, guys! So thank you for reading my amateurish movie reviews, and also thank you for all the lovely comments you've left on my posts throughout these 2 years. There will be special mentions, of course. ;) All the people mentioned below, I consider my closest and most endearing blog friends. I met all of them thanks to blogger, and I'm glad I did, because they're all fantastic! Just check them out and follow their wonderful blogs.

CineMarvellous! Celebrates

Its FIRST Anniversary! :)

Hello, everybody! :) Exactly one year ago, I created this blog and posted my first movie review on it. I spent days in thinking and inventing a creative title that suits my blog, and I ended up with "CineMarvellous" - a blend of two beautiful words - "Cinema" and "Marvellous" (yes, with double L). I found it very original and kinda unique. I hope you guys like it too. OK, now to the point :)

Since 08.13.2009, until this very moment, CineMarvellous! has been visited exactly 8877 times, by 1438 unique visitors from 75 different countries! Thank you, visitors! Thank you, readers! Thank you, buddies - Jaccstev, Alex J. Cavanaugh - you guys ROCK! :) Thank you Blogger, for giving me the opportunity to have my own independent space, where to write my movie reviews. I love what I'm doing and I will continue doing it, because it's a passion of mine, it makes me happy, and it brings me joy! :) Hopefully, the readers of my blog enjoy reading my reviews as well, because the readers are those who make my blog meaningful and important!

Over the past year, CineMarvellous! has received 2010 TOP MOVIE REVIEW BLOG Award. These Blog Awards are brought by Awarding The Web and Online PhD Programs. The TMRB award highlights the very best blogs about movie reviews on the internet as selected by judges, and is designed to thank the authors for their contribution toward the world wide web.

Here's how thing happen - Awards candidates are selected using two methods: 1) Audience nominations and 2) Online PhD Programs's team of research associates scouring the web. After a list of candidates is compiled they are each scored by our panel of 5 judges. Each judge rates each blog across 20 different attributes providing it with a ‘subjective’ score. These ratings are combined into an aggregate, and the aggregates of the 5 judges are averaged to give the blog its final rating. The ratings are then compared, and awards are given out to blogs in the 99% percentile (meaning the top 1% of blogs receive awards).

About the award givers: Awarding The Web was started in June of 2002 by two student bloggers at the University of Washington in Seattle, USA. Today, Awarding The Web continues to operate thanks to the generous support of the sponsoring sites and the amazing community of internet bloggers.

I was so very honored and thrilled to receive this award, and I considered it as some sort of an acheivement! :) THANK YOU, Awarding The Web! Much appreciated!

Also, Mperience, a social media platform whereby users can connect and share movies, books, paintings, songs and TV-Show, has linked some of my posts /reviews/ on their website. Thank you, Mperience! :)

LOVE YA ALL!
