The 2009 Bloggies

Thursday, January 08, 2009

I'm going to try to get a Bloggie nomination this year. I feel like I've been putting up some good stuff and I can use the extra traffic. So, if you would, please go over to the bloggies website and nominate The Moose in the Closet (http://www.jasonrodriguez.com) for "Best-Kept Secret Weblog." If you'd like to nominate this site for something else go right ahead but I'm concentrating my efforts there. Please be advised that the site scrolls to the right, not down, so the nomination area is on that page.

There are other categories for you to fill out and whereas you can leave them blank I figured I'd offer up some suggestions by plugging some of the blogs I nominated this year.

Starting with the big one, Weblog of the Year, I nominated the Big 4 of my RSS feed: Wonkette, Consumerist, Boing-Boing, and Threat Level. I love those sites and read everything they post.

Along with this site I nominated The Reverse Cowgirl and Sully Baseball for Best-Kept Secret Weblog. I also nominated Sully Baseball for Best Sports Weblog along with Awful Announcing and Rob Neyer's blog.

Best Food Weblog was the toughest category for me. I read a lot of food blogs this year which might be the reason behind my weight gain. I finally settled on Cake Wrecks, the Amateur Gourmet, and I Heart Bacon. I did manage to sneak another food blog in the Best Teen Weblog category with a vote for Foodie at Fifteen (now 16). I only nominated one other blog in that category, The Kid's Comic Book Reviews.

For Best Fashion Weblog I went with Go Fug Yourself and Death By T-Shirt. Gawker, What Would Tyler Durden Do, and The Superficial got my votes for Best Gossip Blog.

I nominated Strange Maps, The Beat, and Purple Liquid for Best Topical Blog.

What else...for Best Entertainment Weblog I nominated Pop Candy, Television Without Pity (which I also nominated for Best Group Blog along with Blog@Newsarama and Scans Daily), and Peter Bart's blog. For Best Art, Craft, of Design I went with Drawn!, Meathaus, and Hip Young Thing. Best Travel Blog went to Hobo Traveler and Lonely Planet.

For Best Humor Weblog I passed some votes over to Michael Swaim's S.W.A.I.M., "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks, and The Comics Curmudgeon. Wonkette got a second vote from me in the Best Political Blog category along with Klausfiles and Ben Smith.

For Best Music Blog I nominated LP Cover Lover and Guardian's music blog.

I think that's enough plugs...the other categories I kind of winged it on. Anyway, please go nominate The Moose in the Closet (http://www.jasonrodriguez.com) for "Best-Kept Secret Weblog." Thanks!
