AJ Cann also nominated my blog.
James Clay was torn, nominating Steve Wheeler’s Learning with ‘e’ blog for the Best individual blog, although he went on to add that “Other blogs that were in the running include Josie Fraser’s SocialTech blog and Brian Kelly’s UK Web Focus.

Hi Brian
Sorry if this is entirely in the wrong place, but I’d really like to get your opinion on something:
Thought you might be interested in a project I am running for the 2008 National Year of Reading as it’s about collaborative technologies, reading and libraries. is the first online good practice guide for anyone supporting readers (in the UK anyway) – it’s cross sectoral and is being used by reading professionals from teachers, librarians, publishers, parents.
It’s mostly UK based at the moment but I’m keen to expand it as a resource for the reading sector globally,
Do let me know what you think of Wikireadia, and it would be great if you could spread the news on your blog if you like what you see, and if not do let me know what else you think we might add,
all the best
Wyl
