The three high scores will be invited as nominees to CLC 2007 and will be given full access to the convention at no charge. The winner of the 2007 Blogger of the Year Award will be announced at the nationally televised Awards Ceremony at the banquet on Saturday evening. The winner will be chosen by a panel of 9 influential guests of CLC 2007.

Blogs that have more than 3 allainces on their blogs do NOT receive points in the network category. We find that blogs with more than 3 alliances present will appear cluttered and have decreased load times.
