Call For Nominations…
Previous Nominations : Feed
December 17th, 2007

If you have a post you want to nominate, please leave a link in the comments below.
The deadline for nominations is Friday December 21st…

Fancy joining PotW as an occasional judge? A permanent team member? Just want to help out? Please drop us a line….

BTW, between you and me, there was a rumour PotW may have to close at the end of this year, without more of us … how true this is I don’t know and maybe some knight in shining something is already striding in to rescue it (I made this the present tense because I don’t know what the past participle of “stride” is.. stroud? strided?) .. anyhow, if you could see yourself adjudicating, judging, reading excellent posts and having a say in it all, even overseeing the whole shebang, please let us know…

    ah, it was strode, no?

    And while we await our knight in shining armour, I should also let you know that THIS week is the FINAL nominations week of 2007, as NEXT week we shall be embarking on a little exercise called POST OF THE YEAR.

    If you’d like to be involved in helping us choose the POST OF THE YEAR, then please click here and fill out the little form thingy. (Don’t worry, we’ll be divvying up the reading duties so you won’t be swamped.)

    I’m going to break a cardinal rule and recommend a post from a member of the POTW judging team. OK, so it can’t be shortlisted… but it really is jolly good.

    Thanks Mike and the Team :)

    There is a retail phenomenon that has enveloped these shores in recent years
    But now every city centre has a Primark.

    The thing I like about Gorilla Bananas is the ability to jump from a blog about dressing up as Santa to a call for the catholic church to let all nuns have sex on Christmas Day: Post Name: Brides of Santa.(just in case the link doesn’t work)

    I don’t know if this post is eligible containing so many pics but the fact that someone went and egged their own car for the sake of their blog made me laugh:

  39. asta ~ December 20th at 4:15 am #

    This doesn’t qualify for the shortlist, but it’s that time of year when music blogs post their Best Of Lists and Said The Gramophone is among the best of the best–a damn fine blog about the love of music and life.
