Congratulations to all the finalists!

These awards are given to the ten best posts for 2009. There are times when a single post of a blog is so powerful that one never forgets it or one is inspired by it. Such is the power of that one post.

Also, for the ease of submitting your post we have simplified the nomination process:

1) You just have to submit the permalink of your post
2) Then copy and paste text code generated to your post (the nominated post).

This is a way to verify that post has been submitted by the author/blogger of that particular post.

Here is the link to 10 Best Posts nomination page.

And here is a video-slideshow of sorts that show how to submit an entry for this category:

We’re extending the deadline until 21 August 2009, Friday, at 11:59PM Manila Time. Be sure to submit your entries by then!

Enter your blog now, or recommend a blogger to enter his site!
