Canadian Weblog Awards 2012

Thanks to whoever nominated DJ! for a Canadian Weblog Award in two categories -- feminism and politics.

Yesterday we were informed that we'd made it through to the short list in both.

It's a juried competition so there's no need for unseemly begging for votes.

There are a lot of categories and a lot of blogs. Here are all the nominees.

I was thinking of doing something ruminative about the current state and future of blogging, but . . .  naw.

Just thanks to the nominator and to all our readers.

Who Knew?

Another Canadian Weblog Awards.

ADDED: I can't comment on my own bloody blog? WTF? I tried to respond to Schmutzie's comment and for some reason can't. My response was: Good idea. We'll help publicize it next year.
