A Short Thank You
In case things don’t go any further, I’d like to say a couple of thank yous.
[Update 2010: My personal blog Bicyclistic has WON for Best Specialist Blog after being shortlisted in 2 categories. IrishKC was shortlisted for Best Arts & Culture Blog in the 2010 IBAs ]
[Update 2009: IrishKC has been judged into the (long) shortlist for Best Arts & Culture Blog in the 2009 IBAs]
2008
Thank you to Poetry Ireland/Éigse Éireann, and thank you to Bobby Buckley’s BB Gardens.
Because in the 2008 Irish Blog Awards Poetry Ireland is the sponsor of the Best Arts & Culture Blog for which my site American Hell was announced today as having made the list of finalists.
And BB Gardens is the sponsor of the Best Designed Blog in which Irish KC has made that list of finalists.
The full lists for the 2008 finalists in all categories are here, and check out the still quite long shortlist for Best Post 2008 and shortlist for Most Humorous Post 2008.
You can also read the nominations I made for the 2008 Irish Blog Awards. Most made the shortlists though I am quite disappointed to see Haydn Shaughnessy fall off the Best Tech list, and Annie Rhiannon not stay on the Best Personal list. That said both may yet win something as they’ve made shortlists in other categories. (Update: Annie won Best Personal Blog at the 2009 awards)

Well done on making the short list, Eolai.
Your work deserves the recognition.
See you in a couple of weeks then.
Good on you. American Hell is nothing short of brilliant. I print them out occasionally and have them on my office wall!
Eolaí - delighted to be involved with the awards again this year. Congratulations on the nomination and the best of luck! See you on the night!
