It's not over until midnight on the 31st, and the mods are currently catching up with reading all the July blog postings and throwing our nominations into the ring.

We will have the finalists sorted, and ready for everyone to cast their votes for, by the end of the first week of August.

OK, so now the first DaniWeb blogging competition is over and the mods have been reading postings and putting together a list of blogs to nominate for your votes. We shouldhave that list ready by Monday, and you'll have until the end of the month to cast your votes for the Best Blogger.

What I would say, by way of advice, is to continue blogging. Even though the competition is over, people will be looking at your blogs when it comes to vote time and if you are still posting interesting stuff regularly it might just sway them in your direction. Also, this is only the first competition, there will hopefully be more to come and people with a popular and well maintained blog will have themselves a head start...
