Guys, I think we should take it easy with the categories… I know people hate being squeezed into categories that they feel aren’t *perfect* for them, but too many categories spoil the broth.
I remember when racing mountain bikes many years ago (something which was also just starting back then), they added all sorts of “intermediate” categories, spreading the few riders that there were thinly – getting an award in a category with 3 entries can look a bit silly…

Also, what about “personal blogs”? I think that the vast majority of SA blogs probably fit into that category. Or do those fall under “lifestyle blogs”?

“The prize giving will be held in Cape Town at the Po Na Na Souk Bar in Heritage square…a small gathering with big heart. Similar to the Bloggies the winner of the overall catagory will receive 2005 South African cents and the recognition as the king or queen for the year.”
No fair! What about us Gauteng people?

Thanks Martin
I’m sure Biz-community will do us a favour for free if we’re nice to them. I’ll get my people to talk to their people and see what we can do.
