I started blogging less than a year ago when I was inspired by my good mate ChrisM who runs iMod when he won an SA Blog Award.
My blog and I have been through a lot this last year and seen its ups and downs, but one thing remained constant, my determination to get to the SA Blog Awards and win!
Thanks to so many of my loyal supporters, I have been nominated in TWO categories in the 2009 SA Blog Awards: Best New Blog and Best Science & Technology Blog. I am eternally grateful for so many who have thought that I deserve to compete on this level and I am VERY proud of my blog.
The final round of the competition is a numbers game and the most votes comes out the victor and again I will not be able to win this without the support of my ardents readers and supporters.
Please vote for me in both these categories by following these steps:
- Visit the SA Blog Awards Site
- Select DChetty.co.za under the Best New Blog and the Best Science & Technology sections
- Enter you email address and submit
- Confirm your nomination by clicking on the link in your email account.
Its that simple!
Some of my other work in the last year has seen me feature on the Mail & Gaurdian owned blog called Techleader with my article titled, ” The Future of the Web is Contextual!”
and my recent article on MoralFibre where I reviewed a coffee shop.

i would sincerely appreciate you passing my fondest regards to her.I gather that the two of you are still together, great!
