Irish Blog Awards, Part 3: For the History Buffs

Already historians are scrutinizing this new Blogging phenemenon.
Why do people do it?
Is it unstoppable?
Who are the best Photo Bloggers, who define the imagery of the genre?


Photos from 2006 Award Ceremony

The excitement of last year was enjoyable, as open voting allowed us all
a little flutter at the hustings.
We Were The Voters

This year the protocol has come of age.
Judges, upstanding and serious Blog Elders,
gather as I write to ponder their decisions and why they
were the way they were.

Philosophical days...

Irish Blog Award Preparation Has Reached Fever Pitch

I'm a great fan of Bock the Robber's extravagant
literary style. Heaven knows why, as his outbursts often scare
the bejaysis out of me.

Today, courage firmly in hands, I posted to his blog.
The result was suitably surrealistic.
Trigger happy, as usual, I managed to link my name to
a very entertaining piece about how to control your waiter
when eating out. I had meant to place a neat link to
ModernTwist2 there, but it was not to be.

Several attempts to rectify the situation left me with
messages that did not make sense, or that made me look
like a poisonous
SPAMMER.

Success, however had been partly achieved.
The comment worked, even if it was not the full comment I would have desired.

Irish Blog Awards, part 2: Memories Are Made of This

Irish Blog Awards Best Designed Blog


If you feel like a wander down memory lane,
the Link Bar above leads to photos taken
at the Irish Blog Awards in March, 2006.

There are some good ideas for taking top class
portraits and it is worth studying a bit, so that
we can recognise one another this year.

Irish Blog Awards + Never Apologise, Never Explain...

Everybody is up to high doh.
I went to the hairdressers yesterday and
when the friendly lady who was gradually
causing my face to emerge from amidst a
wild tangle of hirsute activity heard
that I was going to an Award Ceremony
she applied even more attention than was
necessary to the job in hand.

The result? Compliments in the clothes store
where I found a remarkable number of bargains,
classy enough to let me out into public places
with a bit of glitz and glamour.

Right, so... I'm ready for off...

Damien is getting into his stride and has begged
for "a little space" on the Big Night.

All I have to do is find a neat, matching clutch purse
to go with my neat little scarf.

The organizers are facing the
Labours of Hercules.

Welll done to all who have put in such a lot of work.
