Share The Love Blog Awards

February 21, 2006

Come Cast Your Final Vote!

Filed under: Uncategorized

Alright, ladies… and gentlemen.  Here it is.  The final phase of the 2006 Share The Love Blog Awards Voting.  

But first, a couple of addendums to the information posted with the finalist list:

1. Some of the categories have more than 5 finalists.  This only occurred if there was a tie–in one instance a 3-way tie–for fifth place.

2. There has been a question about what I meant when I said,

"Some of the finalist blogs contain explicit content."

I’m defining explicit content, here, as profanity and sexual dialog.  Feel free to email me personally at onewomansworld (at) gmail.com with any additional questions.

So, if you’d like to check out our finalists, click HERE

Voting Rules:

1. You may only vote once.  The system should prevent voting multiple times.  If you cheat… I will find you and make you change my daughter’s stinkiest diapers.  Please don’t cheat.  It ruins the fun of a good competition.

2. Please take time to consider our candidates.  There is a fine array of bloggers to choose from.

3. Voting closes at 12:00a.m. Central time, on Monday, February 27th.   

That said, and with no further ado: 

CLICK HERE TO VOTE!!! 

Nominees should feel free to leave up their nominee banners.  Being nominated is an honor, and you should be proud of yourselves.

Finalists should email me for the finalist banner code.  That code will be sent out to you as requested by the end of the day.

Winners will be announced on Tuesday, February 28th.

 

 

Finalists Are In!

The moment we’ve been waiting for all week has finally arrived. I’m ready to tell you the finalists in each category.  Have a little patience.  Voting will be up later today, but it’s after midnight, and One Woman’s World is all shut down and it’s time for bed.  Until then, please look over our finalists so that you can make an informed decision!

Please read this before going on to our list of finalists.

The response has been overwhelming.  Congratulations to all those who were nominated.  Thanks to all those who did the nominating. 

Special congratulations to all those who are finalists.  These finalists are determined by popular vote. 

***Reminder: As I never specified any guidelines stating that blogs to be nominated must contain 100% G-rated material–not wanting to be personally responsible for censoring the internet–some of the blogs nominated may not conform to everyone’s reading preferences.  Some of the finalist blogs contain explicit content.

This blog competition is designed to encourage the widening of our reading world, and the fostering of community among women bloggers. If you are offended or bothered by the content of the site of one of our nominees, I’d encourage you to pass by the site, not vote for them, and move on. We’re not here to cause any scandals or offense. The competition is about sharing the love, and honoring excellence. I, for one, am really excited about a lot of the new reads I’m finding!

Also, you may notice that I have handily placed these blogs in REVERSE-alphabetical order.  My last name started at the end of the alphabet, growing up, and I’m sensitive to these things.

Have fun checking out our finalists.  Happy blogging, everyone, and I’m off to bed!
