WE MADE THE CUT! Now, for round two of the Canadian Blog Awards "Best New Blog of 2007"

Well, folks, I want to thank each and every one of you for logging on and voting for ...Scale Down, Windsor as your choice for best new blog of 2007 in Canada.

It is truly humbling!

Now it's time to start all over again, but in all honesty I didn't think we'd make it this far. ...Scale Down was only up and running for the last half of 2007 and we were up against 39 other more established blogs across Canada. Even if this is as far as we make it, your votes have shown that we are doing a pretty decent job at our first-ever blog. Trust me, ...Scale Down is only going to be getting better over the course of the next month!

So now we must ask you to vote for us again, only this time as a finalist! We would love to be able to advertise that ...Scale Down is a national award winning blog, and with your continued support we will be able to do just that.

Over the course of the next week, you will be able to register your vote in Round 2. Be sure to click the link above to take you directly to the polling screen. Round 2 voting closes on Wednesday, January 30th, 2008 11:59 PM PST, so be sure to get your vote in and encourage all your friends and family to do the same.

I also wanted to offer our congratulations to all the other local Windsor Bloggers who made the cut. Be sure to register your vote and support them as well - that is unless they are running in the "New Blog" category against ...Scale Down (Sorry, Windsor Eats FoodBlog :)

International Metropolis and the Windsor Eats FoodBlog both made the cut (as well as the Shawn's wonderful Spacing blog out of Toronto) for "Best Local Blog", and Michael's English Usage wound up in the top five finalists for the "Best Educational Blog". Congrats to all of our local bloggers for all the hard work they do, whether they are recognised by the CBA's or not!
