@ TFGBlog.com - The competition and the book is for the entire year of 2008. You can submit anything since January 1, 2008.
@QuirkyJessi - We're working hard to strike the right mix of highest number of votes wins vs. best posts win. In the terms of service we make it explicit that getting the highest ranking doesn't guarantee inclusion. I think there is probably also going to be some form of publication of "editor's favorites" or "best of the rest" to highlight the gems that didn't get traction.
@EverythingEverywhere - Dominance by any sub-genre is also something that we're concerned about preventing. If it gets to be an issue we'll take steps necessary to re-balance. At the end of the year, this book should be a mosaic of the blogosphere, not the MMOsphere.
also @ EverythingEverywhere - we're working on getting a digg/stumbleupon style plugin that you can add to each post to not constantly be asking readers to vote, but in the interim we suggest "vote for me" next to buttons in the side column or something else unobtrusive.
Thanks for the great feedback.
