clock | January 7, 2007OK, the Final 50 are soon to be revealed (tomorrow right here in this place)! I have notified the "winners" and I hope they all respond (several already did) and agree for their work to be included (not everyone self-nominated posts). Just in case....I have a few posts in "reserve" to plug in if someone decides to opt out....
I also received a couple of great covers - it will be difficult to make the final choice on those as well.
I'll keep you up to date as this endeavor progresses....

The Seventh Annual Weblog Awards have opened their site for nominations.
"From now until 10:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5) on Wednesday, January 10, 2005, anyone can nominate their favorite weblogs.
That Saturday, January 13, three panels of 50 voters will receive an e-mail. It will list the weblogs that have receieved the most nominations in ten categories."
So if you remember liking some blog a lot during 2006, for instance a Swedish one, then go there and nominate it. I've nominated myself to absurd lengths, as well as the Grumpy Old Bookman, Pharyngula and Overheard in New York.

clock | January 7, 2007Thanks to the help of twelve wonderful "judges", I have managed to reduce the 218 nominated posts down to a manageable number of 63. And yes, it is 6:30 in the morning! I will have to go to sleep now, but when I get up I will read those 63 posts all over again (the third time in a week) and try to make the final decision - which 50 posts will be included in the book - which I will post on Monday.

So far, eight out of twelve "judges" have returned their grading sheets to me and I have started comparing their assessments and putting the final list of 50 posts together. This is not going to be easy!!!! If you are one of the chosen authors, I will likely contact you with information and instructions (and asking for your permission) on Sunday. I will post the list of Final 50 on Monday. I hope we manage to get this done by the 20th! Anyone interested in desginging the cover?

clock | January 2, 2007...right now.
The list of all nominations is now up to date.
Ten of my friends are already busy reading all the posts, helping me decide which 50 to include. I will make the final decision by the end of the weekend and post it here. All the other finalists will be linked from the book website once it is up. Of course, once the book is done, I'l let you know where and how to get it.
