no more band-aids
I was just invited to enter an entirely reputable “blog awards” contest, for the low, low entry fee of only $195 – but ACT NOW! The entry fee goes up to $275 in January!
I can’t wait to be invited to attend the Nigerian Dead Relatives Blog Directory Awards…
I won! Most Beautiful!? Never thought I’d be saying I won a beauty contest…
Thanks to everyone who voted at this year’s Edublog Awards – this blog was voted the “Most beautiful/best designed edublog.” I was pretty surprised – there were some great nominees, and I’ve found lots of (new to me) blogs to follow.
That’s pretty cool. However, I can’t take the credit – I’m really just assembling various off-the-shelf pieces. Massive kudos have to be sent to Michael Heilemann from Binary Bonsai for designing the totally kick-ass K2 theme for Wordpress.
This is the first award I’ve ever won for blogging – I can now say (with a relatively straight face) that I have an award winning blog. That’s kinda scary, but it’s something my parents will appreciate (even if they don’t read the blog itself).
My acceptance speech was bit lame – I didn’t prepare anything because I didn’t think I’d win. So, I just babbled about the pretty banner images for a minute…
The real story of the awards was the total global domination by Canadian bloggers. Something like 7 of the awards went to Canucks..

I think this might be the first time my blog has made it to a short list of anything. Josie just posted the “short list” for the 2005 Edublog Awards, and yours truly was nominated in the “Best designed/most beautiful edublog” category. Not sure how to take that, since I use the K2 template for WordPress and have only done some minor tweaks. I suppose it’s a vote for a combination of navigation structure, and those funky panoramic banners I swap through the header.
Regardless, it’s pretty cool to be nominated. Lots of truly interesting blogs got nominated – but I’ll accept sneaking in somehow 😉
