Vote for me or else I will feel like a loser

I hate these blog competitions, they make me feel all anxious. If you get nominated and you don't pimp your blog, you will lose. If you do pimp your blog, everyone thinks you are a big fat loser. Its a lose-lose situation.  Last year (or was it the year before?) I decided I would not allow my blog to be nominated so that I could avoid the stress. After 2 (or is it 3?) years of not being part of the 'vote for me!!' madness, I have clearly forgotten how much I hate it and didn't ask to be taken off the nomination list.  Now I am in it and it is up to you to save my self-esteem.

I've been listed as a finalist in the 2010 South African Blog Awards for Best Parenting Blog and Best Personal Blog.

Vote for me by clicking on the link below.  http://website.sablogawards.com/2010/vote/voteforme/137,478 or you can click that big shiny banner to the left of this post <--

And just to add to the madness, apparently you can vote every 24 forking hours!  I will have to make my husband sign in every day on 10 different computers and vote for me. 

Righty ho, back to our regular programming.

Done!

I tried to vote for you and it didn't work, after I clicked on the confirmation I got some kind of failure message. Twice. Am I doing something wrong, do I need to vote for someone in each category?

Mash - you might need to vote for me in the BEST POST category.

(you might not)

Vote for Tertia!

The Blog awards celebrate all that is brave and free about blogs in South Africa. These guys and gals have plugged away at their keyboards distilling their filtered slice of cake that has captivated us at our desks and our coffees, despite our manically busy or glazed over slothyesque lives (and every category in between). These people have not only lived it, but photographed and recaptured it for us too. And the re-sized the photos on photo bucket (design blogs) or posted badly captured sliced life pics that make us laugh anyway. They have put themselves out there for us to judge or love, remember or discard like flyers. Sometimes they make a lunch time read during a revolting day at the office feel like an “out of Africa” flyover the Magaliesberg mountains or a terrible toddler day seem breezy next to a blog about waking at least 6 times a night for a sick baby. They tell you about the sale of the century, capture sartorial-esque street style or a glimpse of life as a foreigner in china. Sometimes they are laugh out loud funny and let’ s face it, there’s not heaps of money in blogging. Sure it’s driving a bit of traffic their way, but mainly they’re doing it for the love of blog. People: apathy is a weapon of mass destruction. We’re in an era where the magnificent Hayibo blog closed. Sure it’s a bit of admin to register to stop voting blocks and keep it fair, but let’s do it for the love of blog. Lets keep the Bloggers going. They can’t beg you themselves, so I’m asking you for them. Get out there and vote. OK Normal blog programming continues. pic from www.weheartit.com.
