In our previous post we linked through to the blogs of the finalists for The Blogging Scholarship.
If you or a friend were nominated as a finalist, make sure you ask friends, family, and classmates to vote. You may also be able to increase your chances of winning by blogging about the scholarship or asking your readers to blog about you. Please don’t directly stuff the ballot box though because we track the votes using IP addresses, cookies, etc.
Best of luck to everyone. The poll closes at midnight Eastern time on November 5th. The winner will be announced on the morning of November 6th, 2006.
