Boycotting Best British Blog Bake-off

plasticbag offers a javascript tag for British blogs not participating in the Guardian's "Best British Weblog" contest:

The "Not the Best" project is really simple. It's a tiny piece of code that post or stick in your template that will add the "Not the Best" box onto your site. The box includes a link to every British weblogger who decided not to participate in the Guardian's Best British Blog competition. If you didn't enter and you send in your site's URL, we'll add it to the box and it'll be updated on everyone's sites immediately.

Here's how it looks currently:

Reverse Cowgirl rides off into the sunset.: The Merry Pranksters had a slogan, or actually, they had several slogans, but the one I'm thinking of right now is "Nothing lasts." I'm a great believer in lifecycles. Just about everything on this planet - even phenomena - gets born, lives, and then dies. Blogs are no excepts. Some weblogs... (Blogosphere)
Upstreaming theory: OK, I think the reason why my Mediajunkie page hasn't been upstreaming is that my year-long Radio license must have expired. What I'd like to know is why I wasn't automatically invited to renew it when the time was up? Doesn't UserLand want my money? Anyway, I did just re-up for... (Products)
AOL Journals found wanting: Salon blogger Rayne Today has been trying out the AOL Journals feature and has some criticisms to share. UPDATE: Rayne Today has also posted further comments about problems with AOL's approach to blogs (The Clone War Quagmire and earlier entries).... (Products)
