Pro-weblog Awards

Following the link from Tina's post on the blog awards, again I say, the awards are a great idea. This is what I posted in her comments section;

I LIKE the idea so much it hurts. Lets do it! Lets do it! Whats wrong with a little popularity contest. Popularity means that the weblog is writing what the target demographic wants and likes to read. You have to give kudos for that. And on that pre made layout thing, you can always make a separate category for them. Best Blog with Pre-Made Layouts or something like that. Judged more on the content more than their layout selecting tactics? Besides it will give publicity to the new blogs and looking at the bigger picture, if we generate a lot of buzz about this, look at all the credibilty bloggers will gain. Imagine! We might be held in the same high regard as journalists. Lets have the award thing! I am giving this 100% support. Bruneian Bloggers need exposure and we need credibility. We need to take the negative view non-bloggers have on the Blogging community and replace it with the positive. Look at the bigger picture! Lets support this! When you look at it this way, the drama is really not big a deal. If you think of the award shows on MTV and stuff, it is not only about winning, it is a whole load of things crammed together into one event. Lets have this!

A whole load of things and a lot more.
