    Oh. Was sure I nominated http://www.milk-moon.blogspot.com for photo blog… was it not photo-y enough or did it get lost along the way?

14. Damien says:

    February 21, 2010 at 10:52 am

    http://www.writeronthewayhome.blogspot.com moved homes though since some lovely people nominated me! Does this disqualify the blog? New address is http://www.irishwanderings.com
    Great list – lots of reading to do 🙂

    I was shocked to be on the nominations list, thanks 🙂 My Country Heritage blog is the least visited of my blogs but I try to keep it updated. I started my blog when I became unemployed and as I have a keen interest in the heritage of Ireland I record some of it on my blog.

    All things nice…

    Delighted to be nominated in our first year – thanks to those who did so in the three categories – and, to echo a number of earlier comments, delighted to be in such excellent company. Plenty of great sites here, and plenty more new ones to explore.

    Thanks to the organisers too – the awards are a brilliant way to through some extra light on such an energetic scene.

    @irishElectionLiterature No mail, there appear to be about 800-900 nominees

36. Emma Henderson says:

    February 22, 2010 at 2:51 pm

    I am so thrilled to see five of our bloggers from National College of Ireland on the list. Congratulations to everyone who was nominated and best of luck on the night.

37. James says:

    February 22, 2010 at 2:58 pm

    Yaay! A privilege to join such distinguished company!

    And this year there on the double as well ; (personal blog and part of the group effort at IrishElection).

    This makes for quite a handy list of who’s who in the irish blogging world actually. Thanks to Damien and co for putting in all the spade work again.

    On a practical note how and where do we now arrange tickets?

38. Irish Mammy aka Treasa says:

    February 22, 2010 at 3:12 pm

    Thanks to everyone behind the scenes in organising this. Congratulations to everyone on the list, what a fab list of blogs. (I have linked back from my site.)

    Thanks to any/all who nominated me at The Joy of Writing. I’m delighted to see people dropping by and commenting, and I am having a nice nose around too – was listening to Holy Roman Army from the Musical Rooms blog last night and they were really good!

    I’m glad to see Emerging Writer in the arts and culture category as she’s done Trojan work in rooting out competitions and events. Stochastic Geometry and Wallpaper are both known to me 🙂 and I’m seeing many more familiar links.

    Yay! I’m exirah and delirah! Thanks to everyone who nominated me! I’m so excited, a bit of wee came out!

    I’m enjoying myself now lurking through the lists, there’s loads I haven’t had the pleasure of dirtying with my eyes just yet! Hurrah!

41. Ed Giansante says:

    February 22, 2010 at 6:44 pm

    Thank you guys! It’s a pleasure to be on that list! We’ve just got some great news by winning the Lexiophiles competition – http://en.bab.la/news/top-100-international-exchange-experience-blogs-2010

    Hope we are in a good vibe at the moment and will get some nice results here! Thanks again 🙂

42. Cillian Kelly says:

    February 22, 2010 at 9:12 pm

    Great to be nominated, although I’ve no idea how this happened! Do readers of the blog need to nominate you? Or is there a top secret Irish Blog Awards committee that trawl the blogosphere searching for candidates?

    Either way, well chuffed.

    It’s nice to be introduced to blogs in areas completely different than mine that I otherwise probably wouldn’t have stumbled across. Good luck to all!

43. Hot Cross Mum says:

    February 23, 2010 at 11:13 am

    Delighted to be nominated as both a newbie and a specialist. Yes, mums can be specialists too you know! Good luck to everyone.

    I’m humbled and curious as hell as to who nominated me. Was only ever nominated for anything else once in my life. Thankfully the Judge didn’t buy a word he said.

46. Rick says:

    February 23, 2010 at 10:48 pm

    Only just back in the country so only just seeing these. Well done to everyone, good luck to the judges and see yiz on the night 😉

    Woot!!! Thanks so much to everyone for voting for fulltwist.net, finally gymnastics in ireland gets a bit of notice 🙂 My weekend had been so successful and seeing this completed it. Thank you all so much, it might seem silly but it means something to me random internetters 🙂

52. JennieM says:

    February 25, 2010 at 12:24 pm

    Can’t wait to check out the winners – as the 24 hour day doesn’t allow for perusing all of these blogs!

    Slight typo on link for me: hal9000.ie/blog

    Thanks,

    So delighted to see so many craft blogs scattered among the list, equally happy to see mine included, too!

    Maybe next year we can have an “Arts and Crafts” category? : D

    Appreciate being nominated. Lots of high calibre company.

    Thanks to organisers and sponsors – I know these things take a lot of work.

    I’m probably being very pedantic, Damian, and about to bring wrath down about my ears, but I don’t believe the Well Done Fillet blog meets the criteria for eligibilty. It wasn’t active between the relevant dates. The posts there now are from one of the author’s other blogs.

    I’m not suggesting for a minute that Manuel has inserted them for this purpose. After all, he’s already nominated several times in the same or other categories for his posts at the Coddle Pot blog, where he was actively posting. But other entrants in the same category might feel hard done by given that duplication.

    I hope this will be regarded as constructive. I apologize in advance to Manuel if I’m wrong.

    Steph
