Blog Awards

The Total Politics blogging awards are up and running again - follow the link for details. As always, I can't be bothered to actively campaign or indeed reveal who I'll be voting for (assuming I vote at all), but everyone should feel more than free to vote for this blog if they so wish. Or not as the case may be.

Top 30 Libertarian blogs

So, Dale's published his list of Top 30 Libertarian blogs and I'm on there - number 28, with a bullet! Still, I'm quite pleased with the result; partly because there are a lot of Libertarian blogs out there, and also because I am always amazed that people actually read this blog - so I'm startled that people would actually go out and vote for it.

Thanks if you did vote for me; if you didn't, then I think you should go watch that Guns 'n' Roses cover version I posted last night. All six excruciating minutes of it...

It's that time of year again - Dale's doing his top 10 blog list votey thing. As always, I'm going to vote (basically for the blogs I read every day - there's ten of them) but not spend much time promoting his vote or promoting this blog in that vote. It is an unscientific (as Dale himself mentions) popularity contest - nothing more, nothing less.

However, if anyone does want to vote for this blog, then they should feel free to do so. It is all about the flattery, y'see...

Your Top 10 Blogs

Via DK, I see that it is the time of year when Iain Dale asks you to vote for your Top 10 political blogs. The details are here. And the details of how to boycott it are here. 

I'm not going to tell you whether to vote or boycott. In fairness, I think the readers of this blog are intelligent enough to work out what they want to do by themselves. However, I will make this observation - for the first time, I think I would struggle to come up with just 10 blogs to vote for. Not sure whether this is due to an increase in the quality of UK blogging, or just whether I have got better at finding the pearls amongst the dross of the blogosphere.

Which reminds me - I need to update my sidebar as there are some great blogs that I haven't linked to...
