As I mentioned last week , I am notifying people when I nominate their sites. While this may appear to be shameless self-promotion, the notification allows the blogger to object to the use of their post in the contest, which is something that wasn't available before.
Here's what I'm posting in the comments:
This post has been nominated for The Sacramento Bee's roundup of regional blogs, which appears Sunday in Forum. As part of an unofficial program, you can help decide which blog posts are included by voting at www.ipsosacto.com/bw .
The Sunday newspaper column is limited to less than 800 words. Blog posts included in the column are often cut to fit. No editing is done other than to add ellipses to indicate deleted passages. The blog's main address will appear in The Bee, and the online copy of the article will contain links to the actual blog post.
A list of the regional blogs monitored can be reviewed at www.ipsosacto.com/bloglist .
If you have questions (or you DON'T want your blog post considered for inclusion in the newspaper column), contact me at www.ipsosacto.com/contactJohn Hughes
This week it looks as if we'll have a hot global warming contest. I've already had one voter dissing the anti-global warming posts. Cool.
