Oh great Mnhq - can we have a mn blog awards?

[butterflyexperience]

What do you think?
Category's would be something like:
Most helpful blogger/blog
Best newcomer
Best food
What do you think?
Awards could be based on something like this:

Most helpful blog/er

Best parenting advice
Best craft
Best sn
Best written
Best photography blog

I think the nomination should be based on the whole blog.
If Mn's want to trawl through the whole blog then great, if not they would vote on what they would read.

I also think there should be an award for best post!
Wow that would be a tricky one though.

And also great MNHQ can we NOT have bloggers involved who are the celeb bloggers on the blogger featured page??
I really think this should be based on the regular MN blogger...

The featured bloggers page does have a couple of mere mortal bloggers like us, BE, but it would be good to have a non-celeb comp.

I agree butterfly, the competition shouldn't be for the famous celebrity bloggers who are always on the featured page, it should be for the more normal blogs written by people who aren't famous already. A way to promote non-celebrity blogs and recognise the talent out there.

Ooooh, I love this idea. Some competition is always healthy

Oh, well done butterfly.

Yes, agree that based on whole blog is best with special prize for one outstanding post.

Categories are tricky as many of us don't fit into one category.

We could have the categories suggested by Butterfly and add

Best General Interest Blog

for blogs without special focus

Otherwise known as the Can't Make Up Her Mind What To Blog About Award

Or Indecisive Blogger Award

maybe you should just be called bletherers, Mme?

Best Blethering Blog

Re the categories, don't think you can have a "most helpful" blogger award because many blogs like mine help people on the quiet, I've had many people contact me privately out of the blue and we've talked because it's a bit of a stigma subject and many people read it but don't want to be "outed" that I know about. There maybe other blogs in that category as well where there would be no way of measuring how helpful they are.
Yes it's true there are some hugely competive bloggers out there who would wing their way over here for this purpose so would need some way of curbing that I think!
Otherwise I think it's all a great idea, and some kind of voting buttons beside blogs on the network? or on blogs themselves? seems like a great idea if it's possible.
I would defo vote for MmeGuillotine for her very sexy blog

Helpful doesn't have to be in a personal way - I was thinking more along the lines of Free Parenting blog or the PND one (I have forgotten the name). Or the coping with tiredness.

You know, where you can read and get information on a topic that you might not feel confident about asking your GP or HV about.

There are loads of great advice blogs out there.

MmeL - you are lovely

Aw, thank you, Strawberry! :D xx
