Truth be told, I have not been counting how many times each other blogger appears in the nominations. Having spent the last few years dedicated to promoting other blogs (that is why I even started the awards) and getting maligned for it, I decided this year I will promote Israellycool a bit. I certainly won't apologize for it. But I do hope that by encouraging my readers to look around at the other blogs while they go to the voting site, they will find some new reads. I have mentioned this at least 3 times, and have certainly not taken the whole awards seriously. Certainly no more seriously than you :) Did you at least get some traffic from the link to your post on the AFP photographer?

This has always been my big problem with the awards. Some people are so intent on winning they forget why the awards exist.

(Not to pick on you - Dry Bones is the most egregious example of taking the awards way too seriously at the expense of the entire JBlogosphere, which ends up missing the point of the awards altogether. I'm not really upset - the amount of extra traffic from this year's awards has been negligible, so far.)
