We’re going to take a break from our usual advice-dispensing ways today because we want to ask for your help. About.com is currently accepting nominations for its Readers’ Choice Awards, and we’d really, really like to get one.
Through Feb. 15, About.com is seeking nominations for hundreds of award categories, and we want to be a finalist for the Best Website About Cats. The more nominations we get, the better our chances of being selected by About.com’s cat experts to be one of the five finalists.
April 2012 will mark the ninth anniversary of Paws and Effect. That’s right, nine years of answering letters from readers every single week. We’re delighted that we’re starting to get recognition in the wider blogging world, and becoming a finalist in the About.com Readers’ Choice Awards could be huge for us — and it would be a super-awesome purr-tastic anniversary gift, too!
It’s simple to nominate a site, too. First, log in through your Facebook or about.com account, then go to the Best Website About Cats nomination page to submit nominations for up to five cat websites, and then there are only three things you need to enter:
- The name of our website, Paws and Effect
- The URL of our website, https://www.paws-and-effect.com
- A brief comment about why you’re nominating us.
Here’s a screen shot showing you just how easy it is:
Thanks in advance for your support. If we make the finals, we’re going to call on you again. We’re just purring with delight at the possibilities!
