MORE Winners? Actually, just MORE finalists.
So, here we go again, just when I thought I was done trying to decide who the finalists are, I’m creating a new category. When I asked another blogger friend if it was ‘kosher’ to change things at the last minute, they answered with a question: “It’s your contest, isn’t it?”. Well, actually, I’d like to think that it’s really our reader’s contest. So, figuring that no one would complain about another chance to win a prize, I went forward on what I really wanted to do at the beginning of the contest and honor the newest blogs.
Initially, I encouraged anyone that didn’t have a blog to create one as a summer project, yet found that the newest blogs had the toughest time competing. It takes time to develop a blog . . . AND people you can call to comment, or vote, on your blog. So, I chose the best blogs under 6 months old. We’ll call it the Baby Blog Award, and the winner will receive the coveted prize from Problogger’s Darren Rouse, 31 Days to Build a Better Blog.
Here are the finalists for the Baby Blog Award:
And…don’t forget, the Reader’s Choice Award. Those can be voted on from all blog entries, and you can even win something for voting! Truly a ‘win-win’ situation . . .
How To Vote:
Vote for your favorite by entering a comment at http://homeschoolent.com/2009/08/win-a-prize-by-helping-us-find-the-best-homeschool-blog/ When you comment, your name is put into a drawing for your choice of a book (under $10) from Benjamin’s Book Shoppe.
Aaaah… done for now.

Hi Deb,
I probably looked over it, but when will the winners be announced? I’m honored to be a finalist! Thanks so much for your contest!

Good question! Several things have changed, and currently the winner will be announced in Sept 11th’s newsletter – or when Darren Rowse gets back to me with his choices, I gave him quite a list. I didn’t choose that 9-11 date for any particular reason, just fell on the right Friday.
