The Lit Net Monthly News will be one year old in November and to celebrate a successful first year, we are asking YOU to nominate and vote for YOUR favourite Blog and Customised profile.
In the month of September, we will open up the nomination period. Please forward your nominations to me via PM.
In October the top ten nominated will be added to a poll for you to vote. Voting closes the end of October.

The rules are simple;
-You can not nominate/vote for yourself.
-Once you have nominated/voted you will not be allowed to change your choices so be very sure of your choices.
-Any members found to be requesting other members to vote or nominate for them will be disqualified from being in the run for Blog and Profile of the year.
-Forum members are requested to not alter their profiles during this two month period, especially if theirs is one of the final top ten. Your profile may have been been nominated for a certain reason and alterations may remove this reason. Of course if yours is not one of the final ten, you can continue to alter to your hearts content.
-This is open to ALL forum members who have above 50 posts.
-If any member wishes to be exempt from the Blog of the Year and/ or Profile of the Year, please let me know in the next few days so i can put a list here for the rest of the Litnet community to know.

Any queries dont hesitate to PM me or leave a message on my Profile

What if you wish to change your page now for fall? We can't see who is nominated. I had wanted to change mine seasonally.

Would you like to be exempt from the nominations Janine? The reason why i added that as part of the rules is because the nominations are anonymous, and a member may nominate anothers profile for the way it is, and if it gets changed, the nomination may be null and void. As i said, if you arent nominated and in the top ten, then can change away. The Polls will be set up on the 1st of October.
Can you wait till the end of the month?

So the polls will be on October 1st starting? When will they end? I was just thinking how so many people like to change their page for fall or Halloween. I hope we can still do so. Will the pole run a whole month? If they do, I might consider being exempt. I will let you know when you tell me more of the details - ok?

Also, how do you nominate someone?

You profile in its current state has been nominated Janine. If you wish to be exempt, please contact me via PM and i will inform the member who nominated it that they can nominate someone else instead.
I understand that there are members on the forum who, like you, would probably like to be altering their profiles during this period. That is why i ask members to contact me if they wanted to be exempt before it started.
I hope that this information is clear enough. :)

I kind of thought that voting would not end till end of October. I guess we are still able to change our avatars to a Halloween theme, right? Since my page was nominated I feel quite honored and will keep the same design for now. I can change it prior to Christmas. Hey, less work for me and I sort of like my current page anyway, since 'Eternal Spring' is always in my heart. So, thanks for letting me know and I will stay in the competition.

Maybe you would consider accepting the second nominations from those who already have done so?

I have been checking out profile pages in order to make a nomination. Where do I send it to once I decide? I do have a few inmind but it's one nomination per person, right? I will get some of my friends to nominate, as well, if possible. Give us a little time. I was out most of last week and this coming week is an appointment nightmare, too. I will probably be able to nominate on the weekend.

It has? On what planet? :lol:.....:goof:sorry Papaya.....I love your page, really I do! :nod:

Now if we were picking best avatar, your's would clearly win; it's always changing and always equally delightful. I recall that dog you once had...Fifi or Blanche, something like that. She was definitely a winner. I love your current avy, too. It's very cool.

:lol:Let's all enjoy the Muppet with the crazy space hat - is that a upside-down kitchen container such as a strainer? hahah...it's hilarious! We can enjoy him for awhile and then I vote we all sign a petition to bring back Blanche Fifi...the glamour pooch! :nod:

Papaya....I actually was thinking later on, while offline, of your current profile page. If we ever have a space category for featured page, I will nominate yours! :banana:

newletters, I have send in one nomination to you last night...hope you got it by now.
