Annual Blogpower Awards 2007

as known as

Credit where Credit is Due

Nominations are being invited for Categories on which we'll run the Awards. To nominate a category, simply comment below or or e-mail James directly: jameshighamatmaildotcom .

Credit where Credit is Due, and that's what we're attempting.

Now, here's the thing:
You can nominate yourself!
This is vitally important because:
Wishing and hoping and 
thinking and praying, 
planning and dreaming
each night of being nominated
that won't get you into this Awards, 
so if you're looking to find votes
you can see, all you gotta do, 
is nominate, participate, and love the Awards
and show that you care ...
[apologies to Dusty]
