Great, fast technical support.
Best darn web host I've ever used in ten years of being on the 'net.
And you can tell by the yearly fee they're inexpensive, too.

is great for your blog(s) but is probably not suitable for a resource-intensive

It's a kind of consolation prize.
When you are sent the email announcing

tricks.
It will list inexpensive and free
ways to promote your blog easily, and rat-out some popular schemes
which I've found don't work as advertised. Relax, there's no aff1li@te
sales pitch, and there will be no requirement to buy cr*ppy $97 softwares!
It's just a way of thanking you for
taking the trouble to enter.

 Entry requirements:
Have a blog. Offer at least one outstanding
post. Enter
here.
Rules:
Ummm .... I
guess I'll make up the rules as I go along. This is the first time I've
done this sort of thing, and it's easier than writing a long list of rules
;)
Briefly: Anyone
can enter, and the judge's decision is final. I reserve the right to
not award a prize if entries are too few or below-standard i.e. I won't
reward dull blogs. That would look stupid: "And the winner is: a splog!"
Read the
hints below.
Winners
will also be listed here with a review and hyperlink to their blog.
Closing date
for entries: Nov.
1st 2008, All
Soul's Day.

Of The Immaculate Conception.
That's it!

if they deem their postal service too unreliable.

security restrictions in place at TigerTom.Com, residents in some countries

Hint No. 1:
If your blog is about:
SE0;
Affili~te or int~rn~t marketing;
A Working Mom's blog;
A blog about blogging;
Composed mainly of products reviews
...
... it'd better be pretty darn good
to win :)
Why?
Well, I recently went through a list
of over 300 d0-f0ll0w blogs looking for some easy b@ckl1nks. After
a while, I started to see some patterns. A blog which had interesting,
unique posts was a pleasant rarity. I soon became brutal about which
blogs I would bother dropping my charming comments on.
Hence the idea for this award.
Hint No. 2:
It might be a good idea to enter
as soon as possible. Just saying.
