10 reasons to not nominate me for the Bloggies

The Weblog awards known as the Bloggies are currently accepting nominations. Until Tuesday I think. These are ten of the categories you should not nominate me for because I really do not deserve them:

Best Australian or New Zealand Weblog
Because I do not live there. Darren the Problogger does though.

Best British or Irish Weblog
No no no. Diamond Geezer deserves this one I think for his services to diligent blogging.

Best Tagline of a Weblog
‘By Dave Walker’? Dear me, someone can do better than that.

Best Craft Weblog
Whilst my Christmas card post was quite good I do feel that a craft weblog ought to involve beads. Lots and lots of beads.

Best Topical Weblog
I tend to wander off topic rather too much and start talking about turkey best before dates and things.

Most Humorous Weblog
Come on now. I can’t compete with JonnyB.

Best Writing of a Weblog
I don’t really thinking that the writing on the blog is quite enough to be good enough that it could get it to the right level for it.

Best-Designed Weblog
Ahem. I really must redraw that un-plugged-in church.

Best-Kept-Secret Weblog
It wouldn’t be a secret then would it?

Lifetime Achievement
One has to have been blogging since 2001 to get this. In 2001 I was concentrating on building up a collection of ‘Now that’s what I call music’ records on vinyl I seem to remember (I have up to Now 17, but that’s a post for another day).
