Re: GWA awards

**G* R* <g*@gmail.com>**

But Judy, some people have entered (before the December 31 cut off)
according to the published rules and will have printed out the blog posts
they want considered for the award. Now late entrants are being advised that
they can simply sent URLs and have their blog writing and blog photography
judged online - against people who have sent in print outs.

I agree entirely that blog work and blogs as a whole should be judged
online. But while I appreciate that you're trying your best to be helpful -
and thanks for that - I don't think it's fair to change the rules after
people have submitted their work.

Let's make changes for next year. We've got a whole year to get it right.

(Trying yet another way to try to get my posts through - perhaps it will
work this time.)
