Yes – thanks Jonathan & congrats to all the winners! I think it was better this year to not allow multiple voting. Hoping we can all help Jonathan next year to spread the word and create an even more robust competition where we draw people in to discover new blogs and pick their favourites.
Congrats to all the winners! Is there a place we can pick up buttons for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place?
My designer is on holiday. Anybody?
Congrats to all. I’ve had the opportunity to read many fantastic blogs during this voting period. Thanks to all of you that visited my blog. With some luck I’ll be back in the competition again next year. Also thanks to Johnathan for his organizing efforts.
