Nominations close at midnight - 8 comments
Just a reminder that nominations for the B4L Blog Awards close at midnight.
I'm busily getting the polling system set up - hence the lack of posts.
Final point on the nominations: the Wooden Spoon competition doesn't seem to me to be quite working out. Perhaps I should have explained better: I'm looking for examples of really lousy blogging: attacks on other bloggers, the posting of bogus or rabble-rousing stories, or relentlessly mean-spirited editorials. But you can also mention other sites that are blog-unfriendly, or organisations that are. Please, when nominating such a site, briefly give your reasons.
I know it's a bit late, but I may have to drop the category if we can't get some better nominations.
Final point: apart from the Wooden Spoon and Best Non-Labour Blog categories, all sites submitted must be currently listed at Bloggers4Labour. If you've spotted a new pro-Labour blog, great, but nominating it for an award is not the best way to notify me (this is), as I'll be forced to remove it from the list.

>>> I'm looking for examples of really lousy blogging: attacks on other bloggers, the posting of bogus or rabble-rousing stories, or relentlessly mean-spirited editorials.
I added Mad Mel and Nick the Nazi - yep, I think I got exactly what you were after.
I nominated Britney British - an ideal blend of right wing stupidity and an interestingly bad use of blogging technique.
OK, I'll see what it looks like at midnight. Think Jane G's one has to be removed, but otherwise I guess I'll just go with what there is. Thanks all.
PS. Never heard of Britney British - sounds creepy, but I bet there are lots of awful ones we just haven't dared follow up.
I'm disappointed not to have been nominated for something. Not even the Wooden Spoon. Perhaps there wasn't a fitting category.
Unity makes an interesting point above. For a while I've wanted to tear into the madness of the blog 'This Scepter'd Isle' but feared character assassination might be bad form among bloggers. Have I kept my powder dry unnecessarily?
Not having a clue how wikipages work, can I make a nomination here, please, BFL?
This blog has to win the Wooden Spoon: http://www.sceptered-isle.blogspot.com/
The apparent white supremacist banner is bad enough but the obsessive hatred of Islam and the Beeb is something else.
Cheers
Just took a look at 'Britney British' - that's a strong nomination even with Mad Mel and Nick the Nazi in the field.
You just gotta love someone who complains about the first Muslim Congressman taking the Congressional Oath on the Qu'ran and not the Bible. What would she have prefered he swear on, a packet of Rice Crispies?
Ah sorry, can't really accept new entries (the technical answer is that I've put the current lot in the database and started voting myself!).
Basically Wikis are user-editable pages. The Wikipages site we use is configured to allow anyone to modify the pages we put up there, and it's appropriate for collecting information from users rather than me saying what's what, or asking people to email, or fill out some form, etc. Have been trying to promote the facility recently, and it does seem to have caught on a bit.
Am about to (yawn) launch the voting, if people are still around...
Please launch it soon, then I'll vote and get to bed :D
