*Attention all voters - Update to Blawggies 2010*
** Jack of Kent has requested that his blawg is removed from the short-list.
*Charon QC has asked for his blawg to be removed from the short-list, as he wishes to maintain a consistent stance in relation to all blawgging awards. Accordingly, this blawg no longer features in the short-list for the 2010 Blawggies and you can no longer vote for it.
Please note: if you have voted for Charon QC in any of the 4 categories he was nominated for, these votes will be omitted from the final count. However, the votes you may have cast at the same time for other blogs in other categories will still be counted.
Voted!
ReplyDeleteVoted!
ReplyDeleteHowever, I would like to state that next year there should be best US paralegal blog, with just me in the running.
Could someone start working on that for next year?
Voting? Interesting...
ReplyDeleteWhy no No.634 under the "Best Design" category though?
The esteemed Law Minx (who created the UK blawggies last year) didn't want to extend the awards to US blawgs as you guys already have a bunch of awards as it is.
ReplyDeleteBeing a US blawgger, No.634 was excluded.
Nothing personal! :-)
A baby blawg, just 8 weeks old, WardblawG shall, hopefully, win best newcomer in 2011.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to everyone nominated.
Best wishes
Gavin
Oh yes, you self-nominated WardblawG enough times. :p
ReplyDeleteSadly it was flagged up as a ‘spam entry’ and we voted to exclude it.
Anyway, best of luck for 2011. :-)
I will always support every initiative which supports law blogs - I am not being tedious - but I have had a number of *interactions* with organisations which seem to be obsessed with hits / awards / followers on twitter and *ranking* - so... as much as I enjoy all the blogs on this list (and I know them well) I had to ask Michael to remove me from this one.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great idea - and I will say this - blogging - however you do it is great fun and fun it should remain... if that makes sense.
I hope my stance makes sense... I enjoyed LawMinx's Blawg award last year - because she just happened to give me one. regular readers of my blawg will know, of course, that I am partial to awarding myself awards.
mea culpa :-)
& what about http://flwblog.lawweek.co.uk/
ReplyDeleteme ??? jacqui
Unfortunately the nomination process has already ended for this year.
ReplyDelete...there's always next year! :-)
