Blog, Blog, Bloggies
Oh, imaginary friends. How I hate writing this blog post. But my narcissistic tendencies win out over my hesitations and so, here I am. Asking you once again to vote for me in the Bloggie Awards.
If you’re unfamiliar with the blogging world, the Bloggies are like the Oscars of the blogosphere. Kind of like the red carpet for nerds. Only we don’t have to get out of our jammies because we don’t have to leave our houses. Cause we’re nerds.
Last year you guys totally went above and beyond and I ended up being one of 5 nominees for Blog of the Year, along with my BFF, The Pioneer Woman. I don’t think Chris or I stopped squealing for weeks. We didn’t win (the downside of being nominated with The Huffington Post and The Pioneer Woman…), but it was still such an honor for us! And so I’m hoping maybe you’ll do it again this year.
Pretty please?
The way the voting works for The Bloggies this year is that you go vote until January 16 and nominate blogs for awards. Then, a selected committee will review the nominees and choose the top five blogs in each category. After that, the voting opens up once again for everyone and you vote on your favorite finalist in each category.
I know, I know. It’s a long process and it’s asking a lot, but let’s do it in baby steps. For now, if you’re so inclined, you can just pop over to The Bloggies website and nominate me for whatever categories you think are appropriate. If I’m selected later as a finalist, I’ll post another desperate blog post asking you to go vote again.
Because I have no pride, you see.
The catch for voting at this nomination stage is that you have to nominate at least three different blogs – in the same category or in three different categories, it’s up to you. And don’t worry about having to fill in each category. Just pick and choose which categories you want to vote for and list your chosen blogs there. For those of you who may not read that many blogs, I thought I’d walk you through the categories and tell you who I’m voting for. I read some really fantastic blogs and I’m sure they’d love your support.
Here we go…
Best Canadian Blog: Archives of Our Lives
Best Photography of a Blog: My BFF, The Pioneer Woman
Best Art, Craft, or Design Blog: Mabel’s House
Best Parenting Blog: Glamorous Life of a Housewife
Best Food Blog: Bakerella
Most Humorous Blog: The Bloggess
Best Topical Blog: Southern Weddings Magazine
Best Writing of a Blog: The Bloggess
Best Kept Secret Blog: Our Front Door
Thanks so much for all you do to support me and my little corner of CyberLand. If I win a Bloggie this year, I will thank each one of you personally in my acceptance speech.
Which I will be giving from my couch.
In my PJ’s.
Because I’m a nerd.

Today I am thankful for rainy days.

I’m voting. Mostly, I hope that you get some cash so that you can buy Gracie some more tutus. A girl can never have too many tutus. Ever.

It’s so hard to ask for this kind of help but I’m sure it’s great for the ad revenue. So since I’d like you to keep posting for my enjoyment I went and voted for you. Just doing my part without getting off my lazy butt 🙂

Good golly. I was totally out of commission yesterday with a migraine and look what I woke to this morning. Thanks Katie! I would love to stop being a secret. 🙂
Amy @ Serve At Once
Katie, you’re so awesome that you don’t een need to ASK us to nominate you in the Bloggies. We were gonna do it anyway! 🙂
Good luck, my dear. You don’t need an award to tell you that you’re a fabulous writer and creator of Internet space.
Nikki
Thank you for some recommendations, seeing as how the only blog I read is yours! Maybe it’s time for me to branch out into reading about other people’s lives! Maybe…
