Interesting to see that Flickr sites are now considered “photoblogs”? What’s that about?

Also I wonder if my digicam.coza site can be removed from the list of finalists, it’s not a photoblog but a gallery, and it was last updated in 2004. In fact I am about to pull it down as I’ve moved all my photos over to Flickr anyway. Please replace it with apparentlynothing.com if possible?

How is “24.com” a blog?

Which “http://riply.co.za” and “http://champsheathen.blogspot.com” posts are nominated for “best post”?

phew! Finished handling the huge influx of emails requesting “vote for me” widgets and fixing up the balls up with the voting forms.
It wasn’t judging problem, the public votes was mistakenly getting messed up with the judges votes and confusing the sql query as to who the finalists were, which meant for a brief period 24.com came out as a finalist solely because it’s the first in the alphabet.
But all’s been fixed now and public votes weren’t affected and the result’s haven’t been compromised.

Oh also after chatting with Cherryflava, I’ve attended to coda’s first comment.
