For about 8 hours this morning, visitors to this blog would have seen the new Blooker short-list--the official roster of finalists for the 2007 Prize. If you were one of those intrepid early-birds, I thank you for your vigilance. However, I'm sorry to say that I jumped the gun--just a bit--and have taken that post down pending the update of the Blooker Prize homepage. As soon as that goes live, the list will be back for good.
While I'm fessing up to my mistakes, some of you have noticed that I haven't finished posting about all the entries. I still intend to, even after today's announcement of the short-list. Just because only 15 blooks made the final cut, that doesn't mean that all the rest of this year's entries don't deserve their time in the sun, and where I fell behind in February, I will make up for in March and April.
Please stay tuned...
Why is breaking the news on your blog first by a couple hours a problem? More people are going to learn of it that way than via your home page.
