[...] Basically, congratulations to everyone who was nominated. As I’ve gone on about ad infinitum the idea of how ‘results’ might work has been troubling me a fair bit and I’m really keen to avoid ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ (because really, these and the many great blogs that weren’t nominated (probably due to lack of credible-blog-clout…) are all very much winners) and in that thinking we kinda decided to scrap the ‘editorial’ aspect and just let the votes decide. In the end I reckon if you picked up 5 votes or more then you should get a mention here. [...]

I’m with Jim. I could support any of the three that Jim cited. It should be a separate category. Resources doesn’t describe what we do.

I don’t know…when you say resources I think of actual teaching material. News about education doesn’t seem to fit.

I’ll nominate those three in the Resources category for now and if you decide to add a News category they can get moved over there.

Hiya Jim, Good question, I guess the ‘resources’ category would be most appropriate for news? Not sure though… what do other people think?

How about an education news category? No.2 Pencil, joannejacobs.com and (my own shamelessly plugged) ZeroIntelligence come to mind.

Julia: Had thought seriously about your suggestion early on, but then I started thinking about it and realized that, if anything, there should be a best tenured faculty group? Why? If you look across the blogs that have already been nominated, you will find students are already heavily represented in many of these categories. The late adopters here are the more established faculty.

Wouldn’t that be a research blog? Or a paper blog?

Hope I haven’t given anyone the impression I’m a PhD… I’m grossly underqualified ;o)

Cheers, James

p.s. I think that the RSS feed links might be bust, you’ll need to change http://incsub.org/awards/b2rss2.php to http://incsub.org/awards/wp-rss2.php in orderto get them, on second thoughts just click here for the feeds :-)

Um, category idea: Best PhD Student Blog. Why? Well, we’re just Scholars in the making!
