Good news: you’re not last.

W00t! I actually took a screenshot from yesterday evening when you guys had voted for me before Keith had posted at F1Fanatic. I was something like 10 votes up on the good chap, for about an hour or two!

I determined to get you up to 1% by drafting in a few more people to vote!

I cannot thank you enough. A real BlogF1-trooper. Remind me to write a post about The Red Bullog at some point. (No, seriously, remind me in February!) I occasionally write about new F1 sites in my build-up to the upcoming seasons, and you sir deserve one!

For comedy value (aimed at myself), check out this post from early January 2007, about the newly launched Sidepodcast.

My personal computer is somewhat quirky. The funny thing is that the Skype issues primarily affect my PDA (I don’t know if Skype works on my desktop because I can’t get it to accept a microphone yet) and the comments problem this morning was on my dad’s computer.

The funny thing is that when I try to fix anyone else’s computer problems, I usually succeed…

And it’s repeated the problem with the comments. When I edited this comment, the symbols were all replaced with percentages followed by their Unicode number. Refreshing seems to fix the issue, but only for that comment. Edit another comment and it happens again.

probs an encoding issue.

I’ll take a looksee later on this evening when I get home. Needless to say though, BF1 has been on edge since November. I must work more on v6.5 – I’ve been procrastinating it without decent reason.

I would love to see what happens on your PC

actually i think i had the same error as alia. loads of unicode appeared when i edited the comment, but a refresh solved all.

probs an encoding issue.

It’s also worth noting that you can all vote once every 24 hours, so feel free to completely ignore the advice of voting for F1Fanatic one day and BlogF1 the other and just vote for BlogF1 everyday until the 13th!

Much as I like F1 Fanatic, I have voted for you (and for Sidepodcast in its two categories). Having three F1 blogs nominated is complicated, but kind of fun. (Finding a computer which loaded the voting screen was less fun, but that’s another story).

You’re far from the only one that feels KSK, not to mention Deadspin, should be left out. Both are part of very large corporate internet media giants that give too large of an advantage.

i did not know that. although in the podcast category we’re up against NPR, which apparently “serves a growing audience of 26 million Americans each week”, so i guess media giants are allowed in.

seems a bit pointless watching the same people win year, after year, after year though.

As luck would have it you, my loyal readership, won’t have to compromise your ethics or diminish your self-worth this year. Full Throttle and it’s Half-Vast Staff failed to make the final and voting stage of this years Weblog Awards.
……

it’s more cosy over here and the love is shared with guest posts, which I am more than willing to do again for La Canta Magnifico, should you ever want!

damn. i wish you’d said that before i voted

am really annoyed they let ksc in again though. this must be the third time they’re running away with it.

as you said. formula is damn well represented. seen how many nascar sites were nominated? what about football?

Podcast Awards

When did that happen!?

You know you want to vote for BlogF1 – it’s more cosy over here and the love is shared with guest posts, which I am more than willing to do again for La Canta Magnifico, should you ever want!

Good luck!
