Status Update

Finalists will be announced Sunday, Dec. 4. Voting begins Monday Dec. 5 and ends Dec. 15.

We had hoped to start voting today, but it appears that there will be an ever so slight delay...

Finalists are selected and the polling posts will start appearing this evening (assuming that the poll software passes it's final test) so sites can see where they fall in the slates of 15 finalists in the 37 categories. We have to make sure that the polling software up to the task, so you may see a test poll during the day. If we publish that go ahead and try it out...

Each category will have a separate poll page, with links to all of the finalists in that category. That page will also be the page were the voting screen will appear. Once we release the finalists lists you can start linking, since it will be only a matter of hours until the voting booth appears on the page.

You will need the Macromedia Flash, but most browsers have that, and you will be offered a chance to install it if for some reason you don't have it.

Flash eh? That's a unique touch. Hopefully we'll avoid the vulnerabilities that we saw last year. I certainly hope you get everything going today (because I have to work on Friday).

This is going to be great! This is the first time I have been nominated for this Weblog Award (one of the people I made a layout for nominated me along with his page and another person's layout I created) I am so excited to see how this goes. Even if I am not a finalist, it was still exciting just to be a nominee.

Hopefully the flash doesn't cause any problems (some flash sites have had problems with certain pop-up blockers) But I am sure you have figured for that.

I'll be back later to do my part and vote!

Good Luck Jaden! I have one of the sites that she designed...

I put up the Weblog Awards Graphic in my sidebar already... if that's ok! Looking forward to it...

Best of luck finding finalists... Hope I make the cut this year! (how shameless can I get? Uhh, don't ask)

I think I nominated myself.
Several times in the same categories ... because some of these technical issues slow me down

Yes, it was fun to be nominated ... even if I did it myself;-)

Oddly, I've seen a "finalist" badge on a blog already.

Sadie: You mean besides here?

I would like to thank me for nominating me, and will hope that me will vote for me if me gets to the finals. If I do make the finals, it will be because of me. or something.

Silly basil. Yes, besides there. And good luck, Mac. I'd vote for you!
