Because of unusual traffic and numbers of comments due to the contest, I will not be counting the number of comments in January. Sorry, but I could not think of a way to make that fair to those who were leaving comments on posts rather than just entering the contest.
Likewise, popular posts was a little skewed, both because of the contest and because of the traffic brought in by the Bloggies, so favorite posts don’t mean a lot.
VOTING CLOSED JANUARY 31. Thanks to all who supported A Traveler’s Library, and I hope you visited all the other nominees, including my favorite music blog (links below).
Whoo!Whoo! A Traveler’s Library has been chosen as a finalist in the 2010 Bloggie Awards Travel Blog category. And if that is not enough excitement for one day—my partner on the road trip–Music Road is a finalist in the Music Blog category.
So I’m asking all my readers to cast a vote for A Traveler’s Library AND a vote for Music Road. Go to the Bloggies Award page and do whatever it is they ask for you to do. Once you find the Travel nominees, vote for A Traveler’s Library, and when you find the music nominees, vote for Music Road. And of course tell everybody you know that THEY should vote for A Traveler’s Library, and Music Road, too. (You can use the buttons below to spread the news.)
The competition is really tough. Four other blogs that I admire are also finalists in the travel category. But sorry, Dave and Gary and Kristen and all that bunch of lovely gals at that other site, but A Traveler’s Library needs a trophy on IT’S shelf! May the best blog win.
