IBA Best Personal Blog Shortlist
by Sinéad
As some of you might have noticed I was nominated for a blog award (best personal blog), and I’ve been shortlisted. Overall this is very surprising – firstly, because I didn’t think I had many readers as I don’t get that many comments, just lots of lurkers! (maybe I should start using feedburner?), secondly because within that longlist there are many other blogs that I would have chosen over my own. I’m very flattered indeed, many thanks to the judges and Damien. Good luck to everyone nominated.
The shortlist of nominees for the Best Personal Blog
- Irish Flirty Something*
- Grannymar*
- The Biopsy Report
- Conortje
- Lozenge
- Fatmammycat.com
- The Waiting Game
- The Swearing Lady*
- Hangar Queen
- Lebanon an Irish Experience
- Head Rambles*
- That Friday Feeling
- Avoiding Life
(*personal favourites of mine)
I’ve been blogging for a few years, but only started writing regularly over the last year. Thus, the Blog Awards has really piqued my interest this year (and not just because of the nomination!). For me the great thing about the Blog Awards is how so many non-blogging people that I know have started taking an interest (once coerced into visting the site!), and this is because the longlists provide a very interesting and quality insight into the Irish Blogosphere. For those of you reading that are unfamiliar with the many brilliant irish blogs out there, might I suggest visiting each of the nominees listed on Awards.ie and maybe even voting for your favourite once voting commences.

Fishing for comments there Sinead? I’ll bite ;)
Seriously though…congratulations. I always enjoy reading your stuff.
Does this mean you’ll be going to the awards? Does this mean I’ll know somebody there?
I think I might just go – yes. I’ll especially want to go if you are actually PRESENTING the award RedFly is sponsoring… *heckles!*
We could make a festive eve of it!
Good luck Sinead, this is a great blog
Thanks Roy!
Best of Irish and good luck in the awards Mrs! You could have blown me down with a feather when I saw the shortlist!
Nope, sponsors don’t get to present the award. I wouldn’t have done it if that was the case. You know I hate being up there.
We can dress up as Harry Potter characters or characters from the L word ;)
Well, that’d be COMPLETELY random! Why not!?
“I didn’t think I had many readers as I don’t get that many comments, just lots of lurkers!”
Lurker! I haven’t owned a macintosh in years! One is a reader and does not feel the need to comment unless one is accussed of owning a mac. Raingear or computer.
Odd.
