Alright, I know most of you know the usual blah-blah, but I'll state the obvious (and the not-so-obvious) below so that those of you with soup for brains understand what common sense means. Yeah, and there's some stuff that even common sense won't be able to define, so even if you don't have soup for brains, read on.

1. Harry Potter and Harry Potter-related Web sites only. This shouldn't come as a shock to anyone, but just know that if you should nominate, say, your Orlando Bloom web site, I will a) reject you from the awards and b) write you a furious tirade consisting of some rather naughty words that would be inappropriate to list here. Sites pertaining to the actors in Harry Potter are just fine... i.e. Dan Radcliffe or whoever. But your site must have something to do with Harry Potter. And that is all I shall say on that topic.

2. Your site may only be nominated in seven (7) awards categories. Yeah yeah, shock, surprise and indignation may be transpiring from you in great waves right now, but that's too bad. If I allow EVERYONE to nominate their site in EVERYTHING, let's just say that I'd be spending probably 18 hours a day adding nominees to each category and answering e-mails. Exaggeration? Yes. Do I care? No. If you should nominate your site in more than seven categories, I shall not disqualify you, but I shall merely take the first six you signed up for, because I'm nice like that.

3. You must be the Webmaster or Co-Webmaster of the site you are nominating. This is about the biggest packet of common sense I can whack you with. It's obvious. Dur?

4. Our button must be up on your site from the moment that you nominate. Okay, maybe not the MOMENT, but within an hour. I know that people can be.. er.. distracted (been there, done that) so you've got that much time at least. Okay, so you just gotta have our button up by the time we check your site, or else you get a great big "DQ" (disqualified) penned across your site. K? K. By the way - hotlinking IS allowed... we've got enough bandwidth available to fill a few kegs with. Our button can be found in the Link Us section of the site.

5. Free sites are allowed. No discrimination, you know?

That's all, folks. No, you don't have to put "Harry eats rotten spiders" or something in one of the form boxes, but if you didn't read the rules and break them, it's your own loss. :P
