Okay, it’s not all that complicated.

What a whirlwind Voting Day turned out to be, eh? Did everyone survive? Still breathing? Good. Here’s the breakdown of where we go from here. It’s actually a very straight-forward process.

The scoring, popular vote:

most votes: 20 points

2nd most votes: 10 points

3rd most votes: 5 points

Congratulations, Lindsay of peek-a-berry! Your social media and gamer geek armies united for a first place showing and earned 20 points toward your final tally.

Bitches in the Burbs! You two weren’t far behind. Yay for second place and 10 points!

Do Sweat the Small Stuff! Five points ain’t chopped liver. Nobody else thought to send my husband a tweet with a direct ask for a vote, so no one else got Q’s vote but you. Very smart.

The scoring, judges’ votes:

each first place vote: 40 points

each second place vote: 20 points

each third place vote: 10 points

The hard part is over, and the harder part now begins: waiting for the judges. Among the four of them, they have 280 points to spread over 12 blogs. They will each rank their favorites in order: first (40 points), second (20 points) and third (1o points). Even if your blog didn’t earn points in the popular voting round, with just one third place showing in the judges’ round, that’s 10 points for you. Three third place showings? Thirty points. Hell, one judge’s pick for first place for a blog that didn’t earn any points at all in the popular round is 40 points. This thing is still wide open for the taking.

On Monday, the first judge will post her favorite. It will publish and auto-tweet on my usual schedule of midnight U.S. eastern daylight time [-4 GMT].

Bated breath in comments…
