Want to sponsor Best Blog at the Blog Awards? There’s an auction for it.

    Hey Damien, been meaning to ask for a while now, I nominated you for that Best Contribution to the Bloggosphere category? I don’t see your name there and I’m just wondering what happened? Are you exempt cos you’re the organiser – just wondering. I should have thought of that, d’oh!

    Spot on Karen, it seemed a good few people nominated me but I removed myself from the listings as I don’t think it is appropriate. I won’t be running these awards forever and I’m considering handing over control of them to a committee in the future, so maybe then you can nominate me. But for now I can’t be nominated.
