Thanks so much, Flynn.
Purrs,
Nissy
meow’s the time
If anybody wants to thank me for all of my hard work, feel free to link to jkleiman.com with something like “toronto corporate lawyer”. Thanks!
I tried to use that link but it wouldn’t work for me. EXACTLY what do I need to type in? purrs
Ummm… never mind. I found my mistake and fixed it. purrs
Once again, thank you so much!! I like this being in the new year, feels right. Appreciate all the work that you put into it.
Thanks Dave. Maybe we’ll stick to this new timeline going forward then
Yeah, I really like the awards for 2013 bein’ right after 2013, too. Includes the whole year that way. Perhaps the nominations could be pushed back just a tad, too. I would have LOVED to have entered my post about how all those reporters and photographers were hangin’ out at the end my driveway ’cause of that video someone found of me enjoyin’ a biff bag full of nip but I couldn’t. It was written in 2013 but after the nominations were closed.
Purrs,
Nissy

Thanks so much! Was excited to see that I won a “Silver Medal” Canadian Blog Award! Do you have any button to share that we can place on our sites?
Yes will do asap, or anybody with photoshop can do it for the winners!
I was going to put some together tonight anyway, so I can step up🙂 Thanks for the hard work, Jonathan — I’m going to try harder for next year!
Thanks Casey! Let me know when you have them ready and I’ll post them.
Jonathan, I’ve posted them on today’s blog post here:

Thanks, Sandy🙂 I like being able to help, and it didn’t take all that long to get it done in Photoshop.
Can anyone do a 1st place button too? Many thanks.
I didn’t do a 1st place one, since the icon looks gold as is – I can put something together tonight, but what did you have in mind?
A big thank you from the Dale Speaking blog! We’re proud to be ‘bronze’ in the Music Blog category…and aim for gold next year😀
in colour gold and not yellow would be amazing since that’s his generic logo! thanks so much!
Alrighty! Let me finish up a Twitter chat and put something together🙂

Any verdict on the year issue? We did vote on posts and blogs from the year 2013 and if we use 2014, will 2013 not be missed?
Sorry, my bad. These were the 2013 awards. 2014 will be in Oct.
Or we can do 2014 in jan of 2015 again if you want
I would LOVE to do the 2014 awards in early 2015. That way, the entire year would be included. Don’t know how others feel, though.
Purrs,
Nissy
