Caesar Awards Nomination

What can I say?  Notification that Palouse Wargaming Journal was nominated for a Little Wars TV Caesar Award in the category of Best Wargame Blog landed unexpectedly.  Out of the hundreds of wargaming related blogs out there, making the cut into the Top Three by my peers is surprising.  Satisfying too.

Perhaps in today's world of specialization, division, and niches, there is still a spot for an "all-rounder" as they say in cycling.  PWJ covers a variety of wargaming topics that at some point may strike an interest to some.  What do I reckon are the keys contributing to this nomination?  Well, my hunch is consistency and commentary.  On consistency, I try to maintain a regular publication frequency with a post every three to four days.  On commentary, PWJ consistently experiences a regular flow of discussion on each post.  These frequent reader comments are not only of the acknowledgement type.  More often than not, readers' comments actually expand upon the post and further the main topic at hand.  I learn a lot from these comments and these discussions are always much appreciated.  I feel a strong sense of camaraderie among the regular commentators.     

For any reader making the effort to submit this blog into the nominating process, I thank you.  To my fellow nominees, I wish you good luck at the awards ceremony.
