The nominees for the 2006 SA Blog Awards were selected earlier this week. The other side of the mountain made the cut in three categories [trumpet fanfare], due in no small part to people like Andrea. But who else to vote for? Hmmm… decisions, decisions. If I may offer a few suggestions…
In no particular order: Aquila online, Big Ric’s personal space, Chumpstyle, Ekapa’s blog, It is the question that drives us mad, Queer mind, Redsaid, Reluctant Nomad, Riding the slipstream, Rox in the city, Somenoone, Ten miles beyond the city and Terri’s web stuff. Okay, so I lied – alphabetical order.
Well, what are you waiting for? Put that mouse to work, blogfans!

I don’t know anything about South Africa but I voted for you because you said I had to. Boy, I’m easy.

Done.
Ooh bummmer. Reading Hoss’s comment makes me doubt. Was I meant to vote for you?

Congrats boet! For being nominated I mean. But seeing the competition (the losers who you will obviously burn to ashes) wining all three categories is a given 🙂

You have a worse time of it than I do in that you have quite a number of ‘conflicting nominees’. In my case, for most of the categories, I only have to choose between you and Slipstream. So, in the interests of impartiality blah blah, I will spread the votes as evenly as I can.
But, as much as I like Terri, I’ll be damned if I vote for her! 🙂

OHS: Don’t worry, I’ll still respect you in the morning.
anne: Yes. No. Maybe. I don’t know – could you repeat the question?
Lyn: I’m pretty stoked about the nominations, but I’m not going to be doing any victory laps just yet.
Reluctant Nomad: I have to tell you that being pitted against the Chitster is seriously intimidating for me. I disagree that you’d be damned if you voted for Terri. You’d be welcomed at the Pearly Gates with open arms 🙂
Red: A pleasure, sugarplum 🙂

Wish we could see the results-so-far like on BoB, but there was quite the fiasco around that as I recall (like the day I sneaked ahead of the winner, then she suddenly had 25 votes within about an hour — wham bam thank you ma’am), so it’s probably better this way.

Yep, those were the tough calls: deciding between you and the Chitster!

DelBoy: Thanks Del. It’s hard to laugh with a cracked shin, though.
Terri: My mind shrivels at the very thought.
LiVEwiRe: Just as soon as the (mind-bogglingly enormous) first prize is paid out.
3T: Excellent. Thank you.
Snake: Hah! Voted. Hands down. Geddit? Oh never mind. Most generous of you, Hoss. This is even better than unswerving loyalty.

I think if the amount of comments your site generates are anything to go by… you sir stand a good chance to win at least one (if not two) categories. Keep up the good work!
