I have dispensed with the “one nomination per blog” rule, since after sleeping on this issue, I decided that it would actually entail more work to enforce this rule. Consequently, one blog can be nominated in multiple categories, as long as they are appropriate.
On Sunday, G-d willing, I will post the nomination rules and begin the nominations process. Stay tuned.
Note: This post will remain at the top of the page until the next JIB Awards Update.
