Try imagining somebody believing in the value of blogging so much that he puts up big Chinese bucks to further the art and science of blogging in China. It's not easy, is it? Well, a gentleman and a scholar who originally hailed from my neck of the woods in Deep Dixie, but is now a confirmed expat living and blogging in China, fondly known in blog circles as 'The Admiral,' the proprietor of China Moon, is putting up 10,000 RMB prize money to be distributed over seven categories of blogging.
No, that is no typo--he is putting up his own money! And he is no crazier than most of us bloggers in China. Well, at least he appeared sane enough when we all got together last month in Beijing to celebrate a visit to the mainland by Richard, the exalted ruler of that magical kingdom known as The Peking Duck.
Enough of the chit chat, go pay a visit to the Best China Blogs site hosted by the Admiral, and get to writing or nominating, preferably both.
