Right, I was VERY slack this year, last year there was a lot more blog furniture flying around for the nomination stages so let's make it up for the voting!

Here are the doodads currently online to advertise the bloscars, so far generic ones... I'll make up some more as and when my brain strikes (or am asked...)

To use any of these open this file and paste the code for 1, 2 or 3 (EDIT)into the "blog description" area in your blog settings page.

O.K Now it is my turn, for those who followed last years you will know that my role is to dish the dirt investigate some of the nominees, this is purely so you can get to know them if you don't already.

I really enjoyed doing it last year and also made some friends out of it, so over the next few weeks I will be bringing you all the undercover reports from around Blogland.

Watch this space I'll be back (minus the ousi of course)

It's here...

Ladies and gentleman I give you your 2008 Bloscar Nominees. How to vote is at the bottom of the list.

Thank you to everyone who nominated. Good luck everyone!

HOW TO VOTE

1. Download a voting form. It is in two formats. Either word or excel.

I apologise for incorrectly spelling some names on the nominations form incorrectly. They are close enough that you should know who it should be. Sorry!

2. Place an X next to the person you want to win in each category.
Don't forget to save it or you'll just end up emailing me a blank form!

3. Email the form to bloscars@gmail.com

4. The deadline is 8pm on Febraury 28th. The winners will be announced here from 9pm on wards.

Thank you for taking part and good luck if you're nominated!

The nominees will be announced tomorrow at 10am.

Thank you to everyone who has sent in a form. Without you there wouldn't much point to all this.

... it's all change at the top!

Less than 60 minutes to get your nominations in if you still haven't!
