There are very few blogs I read, as I find many blog authors are self-appointed experts in making ass-hats, but one of the few I do read is MAF's, and he wrote a very good piece about brewing to style or not, and how the competition requires you to be creative but within the confines of a style.

Good read - speciality category should see some interesting brews.
Although my blog has fairly limited readership, I thought it was a good way to help promote the comp. Been a few hits from UK and US and beyond.
Every little helps, as someone once said ;)
