For anyone interested in business blogging, and there’s a piece on it in the business section of today’s Sunday Times. There’s a bit on Ice Cream Ireland as well as words of wisdom from Damien, Beaut.ie, and Krishna De…

I received a phone call yesterday to advise me that Ice Cream Ireland has been shortlisted for the 2008 Digital Media Awards in the blogging category. It seems like the ice cream man will need to procure a tux for the event in Dublin (Feb, 2008). I’d be much more comfortable in an old jumper!

The other blogs shortlisted (and congratulations to them!) are:

• Head Rambles
• Limerick Blogger
• The Humble Housewife
• The Waiting Game

We got a nice little mention in the Style section of today’s Sunday Times. There is a sidebar of chef’s party picks, and Kevin Thornton suggested a 1988 Chateau d’Yqeum, a Sauternes (dessert wine), with our Honeycomb ice cream and a tart tatin. Yum!

I guess I know what I’m going to try for dessert very soon, although I would have to start saving to buy that particular bottle of wine!

I’m delighted that both of our shops are included in the 2008 Georgina Campbell’s Ireland guide. You can read about their take on the Dingle Shop here…

Also, it seems our raspberry sorbet is good for the vocal chords! Roisí­n Ingle gave us a mention last Saturday in her column…

Jack Murray, the managing director of mediacontact.ie happened into our Dingle shop for a coffee a few days ago, and we had a chat about blogging and publicity. He was kind enough to send me on a copy of his media contacts directory, available as a subscription through their website. It is extraordinarily thorough (it includes print, broadcast, news agencies, associations, politics, government, and every last journalist even here in the wilds of Kerry) and well worth it for anyone doing publicity, whether it be their own or for other people…

There’s a mention of us in the business section of today’s paper. It’s about alternative marketing and has a oddly huge photo of me and ice cream…

I just received confirmation that I will be writing a weekly column in the Irish Times for the month of August. It will be in the Friday issue, under special features. It came directly from this blog. Now… who says that blogging is a waste of time?

I think there will be an article on my brother and I in this week’s Sunday Tribune magazine, for anyone who is interested. It’s a Friends for Life feature that they run…

PS. Sorry! Must be Sunday the 10th…

PPS. The article is here.
