First of all: All the blogger love made me tear up. Seriously. There were tears. Over 140 entries, each with about 4 nominations. Guys. That's 560 nominations. I LOVE YOU ALL.
So here's what happened: the nominations were absolutely scattered. The average votes each blog had was 3, including those that had the MOST nominations. Some categories had 60+ blogs nominated while others only had maybe 5 bloggers.
SO...
If a category had around five bloggers, each with one vote, then they would go up for voting, despite only being nominated once each.
If a category had 2-5 blogs with more than just one nomination, then those would go against each other, even if there were only two blogs.
Some had, for example, one blogger with 7 nominations and 4-5 others with only 2. Then all those bloggers would go up against each other in that category.
If that makes sense. Sorry I can't explain it any better! Feel free to leave a question in the comments though, and I'll try to answer!
Nominees: You will be emailed shortly (within the next day or two) asking for a "testimony", links, and other.
(Side note: I may be writing a "testimony" or two, but I will NOT be voting. Or else what kind of host am I?)
ALSO: Because there were two categories where the blogger/publisher had a landslide of nominations (i.e. 11 vs 2 or 15 vs 1) this is the new schedule:
July 25-Best Breakout Blog and Trending Blog
July 26-Best Group Blog
July 27-Best Design and Most Creative
July 28-Nicest Blogger and Well Known Blog
July 29-Twitter Fiend and Best Meme
July 30-Most Influential and Best Reviews
July 31-Most Hilarious Review and Blogging Fairy
Aug 1-Most Social Author and Books, Blogs, and Media, Oh My!
Aug 10-Winners
CONGRATS TO EVERYONE, BY THE WAY!
Don't be down if you didn't make it on to the nominees list (Except you cheaters. I hope you feel ashamed.), it was actually pretty competitive and I think there were up to 72 blogs nominated for one of the categories! And there's always next year!
