Post Of The Week
I’ve been involved in Post of the Week, a cracking good idea that goes like this:
Post of the Week is ready, and open, and waiting for YOU.
1. To highlight great writing on personal blogs.
2. To draw attention to blogs that you might not have heard of before.
3. To point you to one absolute guaranteed humdinger of a blog post, once a week, every week.
Finally, and almost a year after the idea was first mooted, Post of the Week is ready for public display. I bet you never thought you’d live to see the day, did you?
Absolutely everyone everywhere is heartily recommended to do any or all of the following:
1. Nominate cracking good blog posts for inclusion, via the comments box in the “Call for nominations” section.
2. Volunteer their services as a guest judge, for one weekend only.
3. Publicise the site on their own blogs. Pimp it, kids. Pimp it HARD.
Post of the Week everyone.
Oh, and I’m the Head Judge this week, so get some good posts in. Not mine, because I can’t win, but I know you read other blogs.
Come on, you think I’m stupid? I’ve seen the way you click around, all bookmarked to the nines. Of course I don’t mind, I just wished we’d talked about it first. In fact, I’m kind of into the idea. We could get one of those tabbed browsers.
I’ve crossed the line haven’t I?
Post of the Week.

Hey, I’m all for this — ballyhooing tasty blog post. Yum.
In that spirit, may I use a cup of your electrons to ballyhoo the 2007 Blogisattva Awards? Nominations are coming out tomorrow with a fulsome Best Blog category and other sub-categories of best blog, including funniest post in 2006.

Interesting coincidence, the Blogisattva organization is, too, scouting out Good Blog for its 2008 awards, focussing on English-language Buddhisty stuff. [See the sidebar. Indeed, order a Guiness at the sidebar while you’re there.]
Psssst. Inside info. I shouldn’t be leaking this, but a certain blog we all know and love will have a congregation of nominations equivalent in number to the deadly sins. Why THIS blog I’m talking about IS very much the Babel of its genre with respect to THIS nomination thing, if you catch my meaning, if you get my drift, if you understand my language.
