“Official” “Rules” (Subject to change whenever we see fit.)
- Bloggers may nominate themselves. (It’s a little tacky, but they can.)
- Bloggers may nominate blogs not listed on our blogroll as long as they are in or around Springfield.
- Bloggers may nominate a blog for multiple categories.
- Bloggers should submit their nominees only once. (We’re not fancy enough to track that, so be cool, and follow the rules.)
- Only bloggers listed on our blogroll are allowed to participate in the nomination and voting process.
- (3/9/2010 Update) Bloggers found in violation of these rules will be disqualified.
Meet Us!
We meet the second Monday of the month at the Farmer's Gastropub in Springfield at 7 PM. If the weather's nice, we'll likely be on the patio!
