The Blog Coach and the Irish Blog Awards
Well, I am very pleased to say that two of the blogs which have made the short list for Best Business Blog in the Irish Blog Awards 2007 come from organisations which The Blog Coach has been working with over recent months.
Two very different sites as well and it’s nice to see that they have been so well received after all the hard work put in by Krishna De and Ann Greene who write and run them.
Biz Growth News – Krishna De
A traditional blog in terms of format, though one that is absolutely full of information for a business looking for ideas and new information about anything and everything to do with developing business and building a brand online and offline. Podcasts, webinars and offline seminars as well as the blog itself and yet that is still only scratching the surface of what Krishna offers.
In March, we’ll be looking in a little more detail at the thought processes that went on in terms of the modifications and the implementation of the final result that you see now. However, as you read the posts, you will see that all that this does is complement the great content that Krishna provides. A blog which just cries out to be in your RSS reader!
Allagi Consulting – Ann Greene
This is a full Blogsite (that’s to say a complete website including a blog which is all built using Blog software) which has given Ann Greene, who runs Allagi Consulting, total control over the whole of the site in terms of being able to add and change content as she requires, as well as the ability to add pages and so grow the site when she needs to – with little to no intervention from anyone, including me.
The site also incorporates the Allagi Blog which Ann uses to great effect to look at her specialist area of expertise of team building and team development. Although it’s still in its infancy, the blog was already considered worthy of a place in the shortlist and you can’t say fairer that that!
Do check out both blogs and I wish them both the best of luck in the final which will be announced at the Awards Dinner on March 3rd. In the meantime, so as you don’t miss any, I will be listing the nominees in the main categories in a special version of Spotlight on UK Blogs (in this case Spotlight on Irish Award Blogs) this Friday.

Mark – thank you for referencing both Ann and I on your blog.
I am delighted that I was able to refer Ann to you as a client as implementing a wordpress platform for her blog and website has enabled her to build her brand online very quicky. and as you know if we are not able to be found online we practically do not exist in the 21century.
Being shortlisted in the Irish Blog Awards for best business blog is fantastic. I am sure that our extreme blog makeover helped significantly as the blog is much easier to navigate with the recent changes we made.
I can not recommend blogging for business too highly. It’s only a shame that the Best of Brit Blog Awards 2007 has not taken a similar stance as the Irish Blog Awards. They don’t have a category for business blogs in their awards unfortunately!
Thanks for sharing the 2007 winners… just curious, have the 2008 winners for the “Irish Blog Awards” been announced yet?
