It should only use ip address as a backup. The primary means of saving your nominations is using cookies. So if everyone there has cookies disabled on their browser, I can imagine the problems people are going to have. I didn't figure there would be that many people with cookies disabled though :( I'll see what I can do. Any suggestions? Oi! It should only use ip address as a backup.

Avusa, which has a couple thousand employees, uses one single IP address and when I went to nominate I noticed that I'm seeing nominations from someone else in the building. Not good.You guys need to resolve this... There is a major issue with this system.

I really liked it :)I don't think the podcast category will be broken down into subcategories this year. I don't think the South African podcast community is big enough for that yet, but if there is a huge variety of submissions to the blog awards this year and we see there is significant growth it might be considered next year.I'd expect podcasting and vlogging would grow significantly in the next year or so, so maybe...

I hear that there is a kick-off meeting planned for this evening? Here is a question for you: For those parties interested in the process and not able to be physically present - is there a dial-in-number?Also, why don't we split the podcast award into different categories - People's choice - Video Podcasts - Business - Comedy - Cultural/Arts - Entertainment - Family - Technology - Business - Political - Travel - General - just to give you a few ideas. I am not sure how many South African podcasters are out there – but the community is bound to be growing.Cheers Isobel from 123listen2me.com Good luck with this years Blog Awards.

If you're interested in the awards process then make sure you're there, or send a representative. I think that’s the point of Wednesday’s meeting Steve.

The SA Blog Awards was originally instigated 3-4 years ago by Jon Cherry, of <a href='http://www.cherryflava.com'>Cherryflava</a>. We joined him last year to assist him technically with the online nomination and voting system and so this year more people have volunteered their assistance with the organization of the awards to help make it bigger, better and more widely recognized. We'll probably put everything up on the blog awards site soon after Wednesday's presentation. So you will be able to find out more there soon. :) Hi Steve, I like the imagery, but no, it’s not quite like that.
