One of the finalists of the 2006 UK Weblog Awards is JonnyB’s private secret diary, a sensationally funny blog I really recommend. As Mister B says:
I would love it — love it — if all the earnest blogging new meeja paradigm types saw the results and thought: ‘WTF? The best blog in the UK is some bloke going on about his village life in Norfolk? When there is serious discussion taking place about the ID card situation in the Lebanon? This is a fiasco. I had better write an earnest post about it on my web log.‘
You can vote every day until the 15th, which is asking for exactly the sort of trouble I like.

Why thank you!!!
Well, you know, even social media, new paradigm types like myself have our uses. ;) And frankly, the opposition looks dire…
Of course!!! (But not quite what I meant). Blogging is a broad church. Some would like to define it as populated entirely by earnest would-be op-ed and leader writers.
You’ve just gone into the lead, Jonny, and I’ll register my second vote when it lets me on again.
Oh — and I couldn’t agree more — there’s a real dearth of blogs that are properly funny. Presumably because it’s a lot harder to do on a regular basis than moaning about the ID Card Issue in the Lebanon, or any of my own hobby-horses.
Yaxlich heartily agrees that JonnyB deserves to win the award.
Vote JonnyB!
