Two Important Announcements

On Wednesday December 8th, we will be announcing the finalists for the 2010 Blogisattva Awards. On Sunday December 12th, we will be unveiling the winners.  We want to thank everyone again for their patience and support!




Secondly, as you all may have heard, the Buddhist Geeks are hosting a conference in July 2011 called Discover the Emerging Face of Buddhism. Nate and I spoke with them just yesterday, and they have volunteered to donate a quite sizable discount to the conference for the finalists ($50) and winners ($100) of the Blogisattva awards. We are very thankful to them for taking some time and effort to help recognize the online Buddhist blogging community!

From their website about the conference:
