Quick Update (II) : Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards

4 September 20095 Comments

Okay.

This is a little bit ‘overdue’, but I’ll share it anyway (and really HOPE to get your support, again! *smile*)

Close to two weeks ago, I received an email from a reader, Zhiqiang, who shared with me how he’s nominated Our Everyday Things for two categories, Best Parenting Blog and Best Hidden Gem, at the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards!

Awww. It was such an encouraging email.

Especially when I was (so very) down physically with tonsillitis (strep throat) at the time I read it (thanks again Zhiqiang!)

And now that I think about it, I guess there are two main reasons why I only get to share the Blog Awards news (which is still open for nominations btw!) here on my blog today :

First reason: it’s because after I shared it on facebook, quite a few people came to tell me how they could NOT nominate my blog online due to some ‘captcha issues’ (the part towards the end where you need to enter the words you see in a box).

I then went in to check it out myself and faced the same issue. And I just don’t want ‘more’ people to face the same ‘hassles’ when they go and nominate my blog after they read my blog post on it.

Second reason: The Awards is open to the whole of the Asia-Pacific, and hey there are tens of thousands of other blogs out there (and LOTS of really good ones I personally know too!), and I can’t help but think, ‘… will there even be a slight chance of winning it?’

Ah.

Perhaps you can help and prove me wrong.

So I decided that I should just share the news and again (shamelessly) ask for your support! *smile*

So I now leave my blog’s nominations in your good hands ya! *smile*

    Siska:

    Yup, the error is in the system apparently … nothing we can do ๐Ÿ™

    ………………………………..

    Zhiqiang:

    I’m puzzled by how the whole system works because I know of a few who told they managed to nominate my site (and I’m assuming they’re going for a similar category), and quite a number who told me they’re facing this issue with captcha …

    Have been in touch many times with the nuffnang team, and till the day the nomination phase was over, the captcha problem was yet to be solved …

    …………………………

    Fiona:

    First of all, THANKS!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Secondly, you managed to nominate and didn’t face the captcha issue then ya ?

    ……………………..

    Irene :

    Ya I know … sigh ๐Ÿ™
    (but really, thanks for trying to nominate ya … really appreciate it … )

  • Irene says:

    Same captcha problem here…

  • fiona tay says:

    I nominated you! And I wanna do it again, and again. Haha!

  • Just to add, a blog can only be nominated once for each category.

    Your readers might get an error that “this blog had already been nominated for Best Parenting and Hidden Gem blog.” if they try to nominate you for that one.
