I’d like to thank everybody that supported Blog Of The Day. It was an experience that taught me a lot and I aim to apply what I have learned in my blogging in the future. I should also add that there were some great blogs that I couldn’t include in the awards, simply because there were not enough days !

Finally, two things: first, I started out with the intention of making occasional awards for Commendable Comments … but I just didn’t have the time to read all the comments for all of the posts on all of the blogs I looked at. Sorry folks.

Secondly, I will continue The rog-blog.com Blog Awards in some format in the future. I haven’t dcided quite how, but it won’t be daily. More likely weekly or monthly. Watch this space for more news !

So here it is: a review of the winners followed by the revelation of the winner, The Blog Of Blogs. My congratulations to the winner !

He asked us to blog about what we would do to attempt to win his prize and one idea came to me pretty soon the next day. But it’s taken me until today to get to the point where I can announce it, so here goes …

For each day of the competition, I will be awarding the rog-blog.com Blog Of The Day badge.

My criteria will be totally subjective and I readily admit, may not admit to any logic ! It might be that I really like the design, or a picture or a video on the blog. It needn’t necessarily be an all-singing, all-dancing, bells and whistle kind of blog either. It may be that I just like the content of a post, or the debate evolving through comments on a particular post. It may be a particularly useful or helpful post. Or it may be something else entirely, which hasn’t even occurred to me yet !

Whilst Alex’s competition is running, I’ll make a post announcing that day’s winner for Blog Of The Day. Alerts that an award has been made will be “tweeted” at twitter.com/rogblog and posted on my Facebook page, facebook.com/rogblog.

Winners will have earned the right to place the exclusive rog-blog.com Blog Of The Day badge on their blog, with a link back to their citation. They will also take their place on the Blog Of The Day Roll of Honour.

At the end of the competition, I’ll choose one blog as the rog-blog.com Blog of Blogs, which will have its own special badge, a truly unique marque of quality and distinction.

And because I’m a little late with this, tomorrow I will be announcing not one but three winners, one for each of the days since Alex made the announcement.

So if you want to see your name on the Roll of Honour, get blogging !

PS: At my discretion, I may also award the rog-blog.com Commendable Comment award to any student making a particularly useful, insightful, witty,  helpful or otherwise laudable comment to a blog post on a fellow student’s blog. Yes, I’ll probably do a special badge for that too

PPS: No promises here, but I will see if my expenses run to the award of some kind of prize for the ultimate winner too, although it’s not likely to be huge !

PPPS: If you are having trouble keeping track of all these blogs, remember to check out the technique I outlined here that I think makes it a lot easier.

PPPPS: Alex, this is not gonna be the only thing I will do for the competition, there will be other things too, so come back often for more … lol !
