Look What I Found Now!
No...not another NaNoWriMo gadget. A blog award just for women! I read about it in Eph2810's feed. So actually, it would probably be more accurate to state, Look What Found Me!My thoughts ran the gamut of, why we gotta have our own contest, we quitting? I'm not a wuss, I can and have competed with guys all my life! Which was quickly followed by...yup, and that's probably why you're up at 5:14 a.m. writing a post for your blog!
For the many excellent blogs there are out there written by men and women--there just aren't enough awards to go around. Rewards, in the form of a life saved, a captive freed, hope renewed, maybe...but how can the reward occur if no one knows they are there? (The Blogs, that is).
So while the latent, competetive, tomboy in me thinks, we don’t need no stinking separate award! The spirit of Malcolm X whose motto was "By any means necessary" reminds me that in the process of voting for the blogs, they must be read which is the reason they're written after all. Therefore the award becomes another avenue through which I can spread the message of Love.
So, without further ado I present:
Created by Sallie of TwoTalentLiving.com in an attempt to equalize the playing field for Women Bloggers with content of quality who might otherwise be overlooked in the 2005 Weblog Awards. (Nominations close November 26, 2005)
The nominations for the 2005 Blogs of Beauty Awards will close on Tuesday, November 29, 2005, at 8:00 p.m. EST. If you'd like to nominate a blog as reader or author, for detailed instructions click here.
Seriously though, do use this opportunity to put in a plug for your favorite blog.

You have a nice blog (Oh I think I've said that already..)
I found the more "thingy" on blogger help (http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=898&topic=41), I suppose there are other hacks out there that let you do this. Funny, I was thinking about removing it since I was not writing that much anymore.
What I don't like about it is the fact that it appears even when there is no more, since it's on the template; the good thing about it is that you choose where to strip your post.
Hope this helps.
BTW - I already had nominated you for the awards before I read your post and your "subliminal messages" :big huge grin:. I won't tell you though which award I nominated you for :even bigger grin:...
Peace and have a blessed Thanksgiving, my friend...
Not better, just different. I wish you all the blessings of the holiday as well.
Peace,
