Not that I was sitting here endlessly pressing reload you understand…
who would do such a thing!
Congratulations to everyone who made it to the shortlist – look forward to seeing you all at the “do”.
oh not me. oh no no no
Congrats to those who made the shortlist. Great to see many of the blogs I voted for in there.
Congrats to all the shortlisted, nice to see some new names in there aswell
Hurray, now to find out where to leave the bribes…
Thanks to all who voted for me. I was (secretly) hoping for the unlikely Sports/Arts double whammy so am chuffed. Well done to the infactah lads for the same feat.
Delighted about the design nomination too as that is entirely the work of my beautiful wife. Thanks Jess!
Well done to all other shortlisters. See you on the night.
See you there guys! Delighted!
Thanks to all how voted for me too, and congrats to all nominees. Looking forward to dusting the mothballs off my disco-lapelled velure tuxedo.
The people have spoken… Long live the people…
I’m delighted to see many blogs I’ve never heard of. There won’t be another pint drunk in this house until I understand the people’s voice.
I would be lepping about the place, only I have a fierce headache.
Congrats to everyone!
2 of the 5 business blog links not not working.
Getting a WordPress error for http://www.askdirect.ie and the bhconsulting needs to point to http://bhconsulting.blogs365.org/wordpress/
Well done to all.
keith
Congrats to all on the shortlist. Looking forward to the night.
Keith,
ask direct should be working fine. I’ve just checked again and both of the links are working.
Fixed the links, thanks Keith. Damian http://askdirect.ie does not resolve.
Just scraped myself up off the floor!
Thats what I get for doing a favour 😉
Well done Damien & Jason for all the reading and checking. Hope you are not cross eyed by now.
Congradulations to all the finalists and for all those who didn’t make it this time,remember there is always next year.
Now where did I put that bike?
GRMA to everyone who voted for me and to everyone who is helping to organise the event
Damien, it’s working for me (the link from this site). There doesn’t seem to be any problems that I can see….
Can you guarantee anonymity? This is very important
Bock, there’s a darkened booth for you to sit in and they can distort your voice.
Twenty
I already have a badly distorted voice due to a childhood accident.
Damien, you mentioned there’d be shocks. Can you elaborate on that? Just curious, because nothing sprang out at me when I was going through the list.
I already have a badly distorted voice due to a childhood accident.
Then they’ll make you sound normal.
They’ll make me sound like Lorraine Keane.
There’s no amount of hi-tech audio equipment to make you sound that much of a cunt.
They’ll make me say sangth-banged on the rangd-abangt. I’m afraid of their technology.
Minor point Damien. Would you mind (when you’ve time) changing “Fustar’s World Cup” to “Fustar’s World of World Cup Wonders”? It may be a mouthful of a title but it was deliberately chosen to sound clumsily alliterative. Cheers boss.
Huzzah, thanks to all who voted for me. Disppointed “my cousin” didn’t get through, however, I have to say.
What a great shortlist!
Delighted to be on it and in such good company. Best Blog is very tough, so many quality blogs in there so best of luck to all the worthy nominees.
Damien, thanks again for all your hard work on this. You’re a ledge (und).
Congrats to all and I wish all the short listed the best of luck.
On a technical note and considering they keep saying they are not a blog how has Blogorrah been shortlisted in so many categories. I mean they are the ones shouting out we are no a blog but an online publication. Its a bit like shortlisting Ireland.com .
You’re being unfair macdara. You underestimate how difficult it is to post pictures of so called celebs then think of a smart comment to put underneath.
Thanks for all of your hard work! Delighted to be on the list…

I just want to say thanks to the organisers, it’s a great thing to and fair play to you for taking the time and making the effort. Can’t wait for the night now!!
No Property and no Recruitment category? Is it simple because both industries have not realsed ‘The Power of Blog’ jet? 🙂
Quelle surprise!
Great to be shortlisted!
Kudos to Damien and Jason for all their hard work! 🙂
Wow! Thanks everyone.
It was a very pleasant surprise to find myself on the shortlist for best sport/recreational, alongside some other great blogs. Good luck to everybody and many thanks.
I’m still trying to absorb this. Thanks to everyone who voted for DO and to Damien and Jason for their all their hard work. Congrats to the shortlisted and for those who didn’t make, don’t worry, you’re in excellent company.
Congrats to all who made the shortlist.
Hi Damien,
Thanks again for all the effort you’ve put into this thing – great job on everything. Wouldn’t pay no mind to the folks bitching about the shortlist – I’m amazed people are blaming The Awards for not making the shortlist, rather than their own feckless viewers for not voting for them. As that rejected US politician once said,” The people have spoken – the bastards”.
Cheers,
John
i’ve thrown together some statistics about the 2007 shortlist here: http://caitriona.net/c/irish_blog_awards_2007_stats.php – originally coz i was curious about the number of male to female shortlistees, but extended to include the number of categories people were shortlisted in and whether a blog is by an individual or group.
Stat porn, yarrrrr.
Hello
Thank’s the site owners
Still no education category!
Being an Irish Citizen, I had no idea there were so many Irish bloggers out there.
Thanks for the huge list and congrats everyone!
hi really enjoyed reading the winning blogs and the comments.
How do I enter my own blog for any future awards?would appreciate an answer as I am at a loss as to how people actually find a blog apart from personally telling them my blog addy
There sure are some big hitters there! Congrats to everyone who made the shortlists 🙂
Now the tenterhooks will really set in…
Congrats to the winners and everyone that made up the shortlists. I have just recently lost my blogging virginity so hoping to fill my knowledge void from reading and learning from all these wonderful blogs and people.
