South African Blog Contest
The South African Blog Awards is live. Given that I've lived there a couple of times and just spent a chunk of time down there late last year into early 2009, I'm a fan of several of their blogs in countless categories and hey, South African bloggers voted for my blog in the PR Week blog contest last summer.
The SA Blog Awards is a showcase of the very best of South African blogs. The goal is to bring South African bloggers to the forefront of peoples attention, both locally and internationally, increasing exposure for South Africa's great bloggers.
Voting is live and the winners will be announced on April 3rd, 2009. Check out Brand South Africa, SARocks and Matthew Buckland.com. There's also a great photo blog called Cape Town Daily Photo.
Categories are broad and include: The Best of the Best from South Africa, Best Entertainment Blog, Most Humorous, Best Post on a South African Blog (the one that stood out in 2008 was Moral Fibre), Blogs written by a South African in any foreign country (interesting one - South African Sea Monkey: what a great name), Best Original Writing on a South African Blog, Best Political Blog (there's some provocative reading here), Best Photographic Blog, Best Food and Wine Blog, Music Months, Gay / Lesbian / Bisexual / Transgendered Blogs, Best Design Blog, Best South African Podcast, Best Group Blog, Best Business Blog, Best Technology Blog, Best Sports Blog, Best Blog covering Enviro-Friendly Content, Best African Language Blog (cool, eh?), Most Controversial Blog, Best Travel Blog, Best Personal Blog, and lastly, Best Parenting Blog for the trials and tribulations of dealing with "little people."
Do some scanning, do some reading, so some digging, do some laughing, and by all means, do some voting.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Thanks so much for the kind mention, Renee, and thanks for giving the SA Blog Awards some international exposure!
It was so lovely meeting you when you were here, and I really hope that CTDP serves as a pleasant reminder of Cape Town for you. Hopefully next time we see you we'll be visiting San Francisco...

For some odd reason this is the first time the link popped up on our radar (moral fibre). Your kind words are much appreciated.
From a belated thanks giver have a great 2010!
