Best in Blogging – we’re in!

Arrived back from London yesterday to discover that this blog is in the finalists of the Digital Media Awards – Best in Blogging category. Delighted for that! I’ve not been a finalist in the DMA’s before. Congrats to everyone who made it this far, including:
Curious Wines
Fast Blog
Ronan Lyons
The Story
Now the only thing is – we’re all up against Damien Mulley. So I won’t be holding my breath re. this one. The judges are going to be looking at standard of content, quality of writing, overall design, and usability – all that I’m fine with. But they’re also looking at whether the blog is influential and regularity of updates and there Mr Mulley wins hands down. He is a more dedicated blogger than I am, averaging at least one post a day and sometimes more – he even writes on weekends! He has thousands of keen followers, his every post generates a barrage of comments. The man is behind the main thrust behind the Irish Blog Awards. He is, quite simply, the Ard Ri of Irish Blogging.
It reminds me a little of the current show down between Simon Cowell’s X-Factor and the campaign to get Rage Against the Machine as Christmas Number 1. I never thought I’d identify with RATM, but now I do. Brightspark for Christmas Number 1. I mean DMA’s!!
