UU Blog Awards
You can vote for your favorite Unitarian Universalist blog here. I’m nominated (and grateful to be nominated) in these catgories:
You can only vote once, so fill out the form completely before you submit it.
GhostGirl raised the issue of whether or not one could vote in a UU Blog competition if, say, one only read one UU Blog. And Dan Harper raised a similar issue in his post, I’m Not Qualified because he hadn’t read all the UU Blogs.
Some folks have pointed out that no one is really qualified in that sense since no one reads all the UU Blogs. And, of course, this isn’t The Academy (though one might argue they aren’t qualified either…that seems like more of an LA Times article) and this isn’t so much a “competition” as it is publicity to raise the readership for all UU blogs. So, you don’t have to have done all the research to vote, but you certainly could click around and read to your heart’s full of UU-goodness.
We could also discuss if you feel it’s morally questionable to vote if you’re not a UU. But, of course, you don’t have to be a UU to read a UU Blog in the first place. I read a bunch of knitting blogs and I’m not a knitter. I read domestic activism blogs, and I’m hardly domestically active. I barely move. I read gadget blogs, and I don’t buy gadgets. I read Gay Spirituality and I’m not gay. Oh, I could go on and on…. So would I vote for one of those blogs in their respective competitions? Yup. I would vote. Just once though.
