    As a first year blogger, I am proud to have accomplished a lot [yes, writing about your life and making sure that the things you discover in your backyard and the internet is interesting enough to read, IS a LOT of hard work]. So my Maria Finds is nominated for the Best Blog Design at the Bloggers Choice Awards. I hope you'll vote for me, because I am an amateur programmer who is able to figure out php scripts and edited almost everything in my template to suit my personality and my blog.

    Good luck to all the other blogger nominees!

    There seems to be some bugs with the Subscribe to Comments plugin, which I have suspected for some time, but without making a post that encouraged everyone commenting to subscribe to the comments, it was impossible to really prove it.

    For some reason on 3 of the 10 people so far who have left a comment were registered as subscribed, which must be a bug, as Polliwog even sent me a message saying there was a problem.

    I have just manually added 7 people to the subscription for this post.

    For some reason the subscription label that normally appears next to a name to say you are subscribed isn't appearing for the manually entered names.

    If after you leave a comment, you don't see an envelope next to your name, please add your email address manually.

    Those who have left comments so far don't need to do this, and hopefully the links in the emails you receive will allow you to unsubscribe in the future if you wish to do so. I can always fix this manually.

    Blogs Submitted so far (because you might not have received them)

    BenSaprk for Photography Blog of the Year
    Is Kay Freaky? Only you can decide

    Christine wants you to think of the kitties
    A Pile of Dog Bones really cares about cereal, and wants that Vlogger award bad!

    Deb is into health (aren't we all?) and wants us to take a look at Body Mind & Solar

    Polliwog writes about all kinds of stuff, so wants to be looked on as the best jack of all trades.

    Is Sesame's The Best Shopping Blog? Take a look and decide.

    Heather wants me to float her boat - that is a really suggestive incentive to take a look

    Maria has been nominated for best blog design - does her site look cool and inspire you?

    Archit wants to make you laugh - do you share a sense of humour?

    I will keep an eye on the subscriptions, and add a note for people to manually check that an image appears in future if they really want to be subscribed. I might also use a more understandable and visible graphic for it.

    Best charity blog - 3DayMom.com - http://www.bloggerschoiceawards.com/blogs/show/166

    [Moderated - I don't care how many blogs you have or how many categories they were nominated in, the instructions were clear and in the first line stated only one blog per person and to focus]

    Update:

    Catherine and Lisa have now been nominated, though it takes a while for nominations to be accepted. I will post a links as soon as I can.

    I fixed Lisa's link so it shows (the anchor link wasn't closed)

    One post had some links removed. This list is all about focus.

    Elena might also consider placing just the nomination badge for the Religion category on her sidebar. It is actually below the link to blogs about stuff, and is getting less clicks. Also the links don't do directly to the voting page, so they should be modified.

    I will post another update list later today as we get some more people added.

    Ack! Had technical difficulties over the weekend and forgot to get back to this! The two gals above who are nominated for stuff are friends of mine. That's what's so tough about this kind of contest - so many great blogs! Still, with all due respect and a great deal of affection for Polli and Lisa, I AM STUFF! With posts about gardening and dogs, life in Hawaii, pest control, clutter, grilled cheese sandwiches and ukelele-playing aunties, how else could I be described? I am the very definition of stuff and seek your support in proving my superiority to all. I not-so-humbly ask for your support through your vote for me for best blog about stuff:
