The 2009 Bloggies!

Hey bloggers!  It's that time of year again!

Ninth Annual Weblog Awards

Since 2001, the people have been nominating their favorite weblogs for an award at the bloggies.  Since most of the people who stop by here are bloggers themselves, I figured I'd remind you to stop in and drop off your noms (which are due in by January 12th at 10pm EST).

No, I am not asking for nominations.  I'm not there yet (one day maybe!), but I love to see my fellow bloggers get the recognition they deserve!  Winners get 2,009 cents ($20.09) and a discount to the SXSW ceremony in March for all finalists. 

Three categories are gone this year: Best American Weblog, Best Art & Craft Weblog and Best GLBT Weblog.  But they make way for three new ones!

The categories are: (* new categories)
  • Best Web Application for Weblogs (Movable Type and Blogger have won 3 or more times and can't be nominated)

Thank you for listing the categories! I'm not quite there myself, either - but I can think of a couple of blogs I'd like to nominate!

Happy New Year :-)
