So, it's time for the Bloggies again. No, not the Webbies, the internet-wide award ceremony I worked at over the summer. The bloggies are just for weblogs, and a much smaller affair. No awards show, no glossy magazine and flashy after party, just people voting online for sites that they like, and the winners posted on a web page.
The definition of weblog has always been fuzzy -- some say it's a site that logs other sites on the web with copious links, others say it's a site that logs the life of the person running it. I'm sure there's a trillion other definitions, but I've come to accept that In Passing fits into the defintion of "weblog." Somewhere.
There is a lot of talent in the weblog community, and it would be an honor if In Passing was nominated alongside all those other sites I respect.
That said, yeah, I'm asking you guys to vote for me. Don't worry, I do feel plenty sheepish and silly about it, but not so sheepish and silly that I'm not willing to ask. If you enjoy In Passing and think the site and the community of folks who visit it deserve a little recognition, you can nominate it for a Bloggie award here. I think "Best Topical Weblog" is probably the category where In Passing fits best.
And as long as I'm making reccomendations, I'd like to throw out a few other sites I admire.
Best non-weblog content: Crushing Krisis and the weekly song trios there.
Best programming of a weblog: Fury and Linkstew.
Best American weblog: Wockerjabby.
Best Canadian weblog: Succaland.
There are many other sites I enjoy that deserve recognition, but for now I'm going to bed. I'm guessing the clever readers of this site will use the comments for this post to suggest other websites worthy of nominations. Happy voting, and thanks.
