Oooh! Is this exciting or what?

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!, I’m chortling in my joy. With your help, my little venture into self-promotion worked, and I got nominated in the Best of the Top 1001 – 1750 Blogs category for the 2007 Weblog awards. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Phase two of the “I need your help, badly” initiative starts tonight, when the voting opens. If I remember correctly, I don’t ask you to vote just once. Instead, I beg you on a daily basis to vote for me, since I think the awards monitor readers’ ongoing passion as much as their initial interest.

Anyway, I’ll keep you updated. My big challenge now is trying to figure out how to get the logo mounted on my blog’s side dashboard (so to speak), instead of simply in this post.

UPDATE: Polling booths haven’t opened yet, but you can bet I’ll tell you the second they do!  As of now, there is no place to vote.  The Weblog people have to set up feed links for over 490 websites, so the going is slow, and the voting is delayed.
