Trade Diversion is up for an award, needs your vote.

Jonathan Dingel (www.tradediversion.net) is up for a substantial scholarship for blogging and, apparently, is the only economics-based blog up for the scholarship.  Given that there are also no other quantitative political science or formal theory blogs available (there are plenty of normative politics blogs, though) and his posts are actually useful academically, I encourage you to give him your vote as well. 

Vote here.

He has a bit of work to do since he is about 1,000 votes behind a baseball blog about the Seattle Mariners.  I would encourage other like-minded blogs to also advertise this to their own reader base.  Not only would you be helping a like-minded blogger, but such promotion is likely to be self-enforcing as it expands the connections between blogs and may encourage other readers to visit your site for the first time.

Thanks for the support, Michael. I probably can't catch the Seattle Mariners blogger, but there are second and third place awards of $1,000 that I am chasing.
