I used to play another meme on Mondays but circumstances made that not a viable option anymore and since I was used to doing something blog-wise at the beginning of each week, I decided to make up my own meme.
I had no idea what I wanted it to be so I went to my old friend Google and looked around. That's where I found the logo picture above. (Naughty me!) Then I had to come up with a concept to fit the logo.. but that didn't take too long.
The part that was hard was getting the word out. I went to every blogger I knew and I visited everyone I could find in a blogging community I used to belong to. I told everyone about it and invited them to play.
Then I held my breath and waited and I was pleasantly surprised when it took off.
There are 179 links in the blogroll.. but I think the highest number of players in a one week installment was around 59. That's ok, though. It's not about the numbers for me (although I used to wish for HUGE numbers every week).
I've met so many nice people through Heads Or Tails. Some I might not have met any other way.
And that has made it worthwhile.

I’m certainly glad you started (and I joined) the HoTs fun about 5 months ago … once I learned a bit about how to manage the ‘regular’ blogging routine. I’ve enjoyed meeting new folks in the Blogosphere through Heads or Tails.
Hugs and blessings,
Thank you, Barb for this meme!
Keep going!

I love this meme. It lets me see how many different ideas everyone comes up with for the same word. Super easy and yet challenging. Have a great HoT and thanks for starting it. I enjoy it.
