Hi Kelli, thanks for the nomination – really appreciate it. I also look after the Edublog Awards nominations and just needed to check that you have done the second step.
Which is to submit a link to your post via the contact form here – http://edublogawards.com/
Only asking because I haven’t seen an email from you come into the email account.

Nice guy hey… Hmm, should have seen (well, heard) me yelling from goals at my teammates tonight in the pool 😉
Thanks Kelli. I have just tweeted that these Eddies nominations aren’t some soppy goodwill, they embody what is best about human networks.
I sincerely hope we bump into each other one day soon, I got a feeling we won’t shut up from sharing stuff and having a laugh and a war story or two to share.
Cheers & thanks again, much appreciated.
Tomaz

Thank you very much, not sure how I stumbled on this blog this time, but am very flattered you would nominate me 🙂
Am finding more time now it’s holidays to read more people’s blogs and I am loving all the people I can connect with. Keep up the great work.
