Congratulations and good luck!
Congrats, Kim. You certainly deserve it! Not too shabby for a journalism student!
Congratulations! What an honour – but then your excellent blog is worth it!
I am so glad that you got the nomination and shortlisted. Great job. I noticed that you’ve changed the blog quite a bit. I’ve been so behind in reader lately.
I did vote for you already.
Very much deserved and you got my vote today
Congratulations!! Your blog is looking great!
Congrats
Woo-hoo!!
Congratulations on your nomination!
What a great group to be nominated with (and in). Congratulations and best of luck!
Congrats – also on moving your blog. What are the pros of being self-hosted? Do you need to know a lot of programming and such? Anyway, your blog looks wonderful, and I have changed your address in my blogroll.
Excellent new look!
You don’t need to know a ton of programming to self-host Louise, but it does help. There’s some work with uploading files to a server and stuff like that which can be a little complicated, but not terrible. If you’re going to self-host, do your research ahead of time and figure out what you’ll need to do and change before you start though. I didn’t quite do enough planning and parts of the process were a mess!
Congrats, Kim, that’s fantastic! And well deserved!
Thank you so much everyone! It’s really exciting to be on the list; I can’t wait to get the little badge thing so I can post it
yeay! How fun! I’m so excited to see all the special posts next week — I’m really looking forward to that.
Congratulations on making the shortlist — and yay for the new self-hosting! You’ve done so much in the last year!
Congratulations!!
Congrats!
Congratulations! You definitely deserve the nomination!
YIPPEE!!! I am SO excited for you! This is awesome.
*applause*
Truly deserved, Kim.
