Finalist Weblog Awards 2007
I’m proud to announce that RennyBA’s Terella is nominated for The 2007 Weblog Awards. This year it were 4000 nominations and they choose only 500 finalist blogs, so it’s such an honor just to be one of them! There are five categories and my blog is placed in the category of “Best European Blog”.
To me this is a great encouragement and inspiration to keep up sharing about Norway and the Nordic countries; our culture, traditions and habits (and sometimes a bit of food). My trustful readers know I’ve learned that blogging is ”a givers gain‘ – the more you share, the more you get. Never have I learned so much about others by reading the comments and reaction and of course in returning the favor to read about others daily life and countries.
This really proves my saying: ‘Make Blogs not Wars’ as it build down cultural, religious and other barriers. Getting to know each other and achieving a better insight, makes the world smaller, more trustful and open I think! Never have I met so many lovely people and learned so much from all over the world, since my last two years of blogging. Let me use this opportunity to thank you all for your visit, your comments and for wanting to make friends with me.
You may vote every 24 hours until the 8th of November and you do so just by clicking the banner above. I’m looking forward to get your support!
Not only that, but my blog friend from Sweden, Lifecruiser made it too: Congratulations x millions! As good neighbors, showing that we can live together in peace and harmony; we’ve agreed to that we are competing together and not against each other. For us it’s a win-win situation. So vote with your heart and remember you can vote every 24 hours and by this, you can give us both a fair share
Btw: It’s my birthday tomorrow so please come back and celebrate with me 
Ha en hyggelig kveldg og håper mange stemmer på deg. Signe

Hi Renny. Happy birthday – and good luck!
Happy Birthday to you Renny and Congrats to you! That is sooooo nice!
Happy Birthday Renny…
After looking at the finalists, I’m not too pleased. Actually there are many whom are supported by money and are paid to blog with full advertising involved. For you to achieve a ranking here is great, but really the categories don’t really relate to who is really a European blog! Those would be the ones who aren’t funded by other means… Well at least in my own mind…
Wishing you luck and votes!
I just voted for you
I’m not the greatest blogger my self, but your blog is certainly my absolute favorite
RennyBA
Thanks Klaus – great to see another good friend and colleague from The Norwegian Computer Society!

Dear Renny, George Karahalios is a mutual friend. I stopped by to wish you a Happy Birthday and read what you’d written above, then read through some of the many comments your friends have written.
I don’t know your blog, but I can tell you are a lovely human being! You are so right when you say that learning more about different cultures, and importantly, getting to know people and sharing ideas and knowledge, helps to break down barriers.
I also voted for you – congratulations on your success with your blog!
Take care, Renny
