Thank you, Ms Kim Tan ^^.

On Christmas day, I was give Liebster Blog award by Kim Tan. She nominated my travel blog but I decided to write it here. The award is more lifestyle type.

Origins of Liebster Blog can refer here

• http://liebsterawards.blogspot.com/p/nomina-y-gana.html
• http://sopphey.onimpression.com/2012/05/liebster-blog-award-origins.html

 The first symbol is simple one as below.

Based on my research, it started off to help bloggers with  low web traffic on 19 December 2010. The symbol above is create as "blog chain". Email chain we often see. This is the first time i see blog chain.
 
Initial  Liebster rules:

1. Thank the one who nominated you by linking back.
2. Nominate five blogs with less than 200 followers.
3.  Let the nominees know by leaving a comment at their sites.
4.  Add the award image to your site.

In 2013, It evolved into 4 logo designs and different rules.

There are some rules that i received:

1. Post the award on your blog.
2. Thank the blogger who presented this award and link back to their blog.
3. Answer 11 questions posted by the presenter.
4. Nominate 11 bloggers who you feel deserves /favorite of this award and those who have less than 200 followers.
5. Give your nominees 11 questions.


 Who is the logo designer? Why evolve into 11 bloggers? Why number of "11" not "10" or other figures? Why 11 questions? It is because 11 is the biggest prime number?
 I not able to trace the origin.
