My blog is in the final for The 2007 Weblog Awards. This year it were 4000 nominations so it’s a great honor to be one of them! The poll closed the 8th of November:
Update Nov. 10th #1:
I’m happy to announce RennyBA’s Terella as the winner of the bronze medal in The 2007 Weblog Awards in category Best European Blog (Non UK). A few minutes ago, I received my third-place winner badge as you can see on the sidebar.
This is just a short not to confirm and I want to thank you all; good old and brand new blog friends for all your support and casted votes. I’ve just landed from my trip to Milan and it’s almost two hours after midnight in Norway, so please come back tomorrow and I’ll tell you about this whole Weblog Awards week of mine. Here is the list for the 10 finalist:
Update Nov. 9th #1:
The poll is now closed and they are checking as a quality assurance. So fare my blog is on the third place and I am very happy. I take it they will announce the winner later on today and I will of course keep you posted either from Milan, Italy where I am right now (10AM GMT) or when I am home in Oslo, Norway late in the evening :-)
Update Nov. 8th at noon European time:
This is really close race. Right now RennyBA’s Terella is on top (a snap shot of the score card at 11:50AM):
I am in Milan, Italy on a business trip and meeting fellows from Computer Societies around the whole Europe who are running the EUCIP IT-Professional Certification Program. So please don’t expect me to update regularly – its just that it is lunch brake right now LoL
Yay!!!!!
RennyBA
Thanks Teena!!!!!!!
Congratulations and consider me as a vote for you!
RennyBA
Thanks Lisa – i knew I could count on you!
Yes, it really is an honor to be a finalist. I hope you get millions of votes – besides mine ;-)
Great campaign you’re doing. I’m not doing much field work. No energy left and I have no chance against the big ones anyway :-)
RennyBA
I’m glad we agreed we are competing ‘together’ and not against each other – It’s an honor to be nominated in the same category as you!
Wish you good luck too Captain :-)
Congratulation on the excellent coverage in VG :)

Well, do you wanna KICK MY BUTT OR NOT??????
Get your butt over here then….

RennyBA
Have been there – have kicked and it was terrific Captain :-)
Ok I hope I have been able to keep my friendship with both you and the Capt! I have casted my vote once for each. Not fair to have to choose should be able to vote for both! Good luck!
RennyBA
But of course Debbie – A-Team cruisers are friends and will always be. As both me and Capt. have said: we are not competing against each other, but together and both proud of being in the same category.
You have my vote, my Friend. Good luck.
RennyBA

Hi Renny,

PS. I was told by a colleague you were on the breakfast TV – about the Nomination. Hurray – that’s great my friend. You are the runner up. Do as Rosenborg yesterday.
RennyBA
Thanks TorAa – a vote from a Norwegian in Miami would be great you know!
Yes I was a gust on ‘Good Morning Norway’ on national TV yesterday morning – quite exciting.
Wish you a great trip!
Congratulations, Go Norway!
RennyBA
Thanks – Norwegian support is of course great too :-)
I’m so proud of you. Hopefully all members of Den Norske Dataforening will give you a vote! You are on our website as well!

Lidt udenfor pointet, men efter mange politiske diskussioner har vi fundet et problem i forholdet mellem norske og danske politiske partier
Hvad er egentlig højre og hvad er egentlig venstre?
De danske parliamentariske ledere, venstre, skriver om dem selv på deres hjemmeside (quote) “Det undrer mange, hvorfor Venstre hedder ‘Venstre’, når partiet ligger til højre i dansk politik”
I Norge ville dette have været højre???
Wow, congratulations, Renny. I’ve been voting for you!
By the way, how is Diane’s mom?
RennyBA
Thanks – great to have support from down under too you know!
She is fine under the circumstances and home from the hospital – thanks for asking.
Wow, Renny, way to go! I’ll go try to vote, if I can … !
RennyBA
Thanks Bryk – your always such a great supporter!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
RennyBA
Thanks x millions!
Congratulations! Gratulere =) Hehe
Stemte på deg, kjempe fin blog du har !
RennyBA
Thank you! Tusen takk (in Norwegian =)
I can’t figure out the Vander, there’s hardly any reader…at least you can’t tell from the comments….so how come he’s got that many votes?
Go go go, Renny!!!
another vote for Renny, coming right up!!
That’s probably because you’re an idiot.
See? Simple.
For what it’s worth, we’ve got 4-5 times as many readers on a given day.
Anyway: congratulations with the third place! Obviously first is what really counts, but hey, both of us in the top three, that’s not bad. Not bad at all.
You’re running a good blog here by the way.
RennyBA
So congrats with the second place then! To me it counts a lot to be listed among the ten finalists.
Your running a great blog too – I have to look in details later as its one hour past midnight in Milan, Italy where I am. So good night – see you later in blogsphere!
Just visit for the first time and see you do have a really nice blog. Congratulations i will vote for you. greetings from NZ
I’ll say congratulations to you already Renny, for doing so good, but we haven’t seen the end result yet, so we don’t know in which place you came. They have to check everything.
You know, last year, one of the winner in one category were disqualified for cheating with the votes! And from several finalists they did withdraw different amount of votes which were somehow “wrong”.
They have several different ways of checking it, that’s why they don’t announce the winner at once.
So we don’t know for sure yet which place you ended up at :-)
I’ll have a Ship Launch Party Friday afternoon-evening, so come along and smash a bottle of Dom with the cruisers :-P
I just went to vote for you again … and it’s closed :(
yay! you and vander are too close but i hope you grab the award Renny. Goodluck :)
Teena: yes it’s closed.
Randy: thanks for the response. Appreciate the kind words. As I said, you’re running a great blog yourself. I’ve added you to my blogroll and… hopefully we’ll cross swords next year again! ;)
I’m too late to vote… :(:(:(
You deserve to win!
I’m too late to vote… :-(:-(:-(
You deserve to win!
Oops, sorry!
Just wanted to let you know, I will be away from my usual commenting for 2 weeks. I’ll be cruising the Panama Canal and I hope to be able to Blog from there. (But you never know!) Check out http://www.dackelprincess.com starting Tuesday for two weeks and you never know what you might find!
See you when I get back.
Congratulations for the third place :-) I’m opening the Dom over at the Lifecruiser Ship – even to celebrate the new ship launch!!!!
I wasn’t here in time to vote, Renny, but it doesn’t surprise me at all. CONGRATULATIONS!
3rd or 1st, you’re my winner Renny!
Congratulations and keep on sharing your blog to us all. CHEERS!!

Congratulations on your Bronze medal, Renny, it’s well deserved.
Are you going to party now??
RennyBA
Thanks for yours and every others massive support and your votes – I am so grateful!
I’ve just coming home from Milan and try to catch up – there will be a celebration post later on today :-)
Sometimes I get upset because I dont understand why people get certain awards like this, but in this case you SO deserve it! I am very happy to know that you got something well deserved (but it would be the Gold medal in my book!) Congrats!
Dear networkevangelist!
Congratulations and keep on preaching!
Congratulations on your bronze medal!
That IS an achievement!
Congratulations Renny! You have my vote ofcourse:)

VERY VERY EXCITING RENNY….My goodness The Bronze!!! CONGRATULATIONS, MY DEAR……! You deserve it and more!
Congratulations Renny, this is great and you deserve it. Your blog is great! The post about your 55 years is very nice too.
Michael van der Galiën is an idiot, don’t worry, he gets his traffic by trafficking in hate speech. For instance, he claim to fame is his denial of the Armenian Genocide where 1.5 Million Armenians were wiped out from today’s Turkey. Michael van der Galiën would be arrested in certain countries for his hate speech, I am sure he is not visiting France or Switzerland any time soon.
congratulations Renny.
love lots,
Aika
Congrats Reeny! keep it up!

I just felt I needed to drop in and mention hello to everyone. I needed to acquaint myself, my name is Keith.
I determined to post now because I think message board as a whole is very useful and cozy place. I appreciate looking at all of the themes and posts here and considering that I don’t post much, I decided to make my very initial thread.
I just created my first website and felt the need to share it with all and get some constructive feedback.
The website is http://computerrepair101.wetpaint.com – computer repair
nice job, very thanks
