Let me explain how to vote: I linked the categories below this paragraph. It might say voting isn’t open yet. It is; please scroll all the way down to comments. That’s past the large block word “Current.”
Voting is in the comments–the first vote in best writing is by Jacob who I can’t thank enough and there are many other people–some of whom I shouted out on Friday and will again. Only one vote person counts.
*************************************************************************************************
I am nominated in two categories: best writing, blog; and best blog non professional–Just in case I didn’t make that clear–didn’t know about the best blog nomination, but if there was ever a non-professional….:-) But a very knowledgeable one….
This is for best writing, blog
Here’s best blog, non professional
BIO is nominated for best blog community. We have spent a year making it so; we’re different, and give everybody a voice to let out their inner politico. Ken Grandlund, was nominated for best series. He’s a great thinker and friend to both Courting and BIO. Tom Harpur
of BIO and one of the two best named blogs Who Hijacked our Country? has also been nominated as has Moxxiegrrl Sar, who has the other best named blog, Belle of the Brawl has just begun one at BIO–say hello to her there as blogger seems to be down
Cooper, Esoteric Wombat, Miz Bohemia, and Shayna have begun diaries. Plugged them all on Friday and will again later this week because they all blow me away. And wow have they helped.
IM Dedd is BIO’s resident BOB award winning cartoonist. He puts in a new cartoon once a week.
Other interesting and exciting bloggers will be mentioned later this week. One of the great things about blogging is that it introduced me to many wonderful people. If you would like to be mentioned please send a thousand dollars in a plain envelope to 555 Bribery Road.
Courting is where politics meets social issues meets city living meets me.
Truly truly is a wonderful honor to be nominated in two super amazing incredible categories. Do feel very honored. Just me, Savannah Falls 3 my latest desktop, and our imaginary dog, Toto, a Golden Retriever. If I’m going to imagine a dog it’s going to be one that fits in a larger apartment than mine.
There are many great blogs; there are many blogs that while not considered “professionals,” border a line. There’s no way that I can compete with the Huffington Report, the Kos and many other blogs. Would love to make into the finals especially for best writing. Arianna Huffington while might not be an expert in a particular field, has mucho mucho money, and many experts in various fields writing for the Huffington Report. The kos–don’t get me started.
To me blogging is about forging new communities, being exposed to many varying points of views, and exploring new ways to communicate. I am happy just to be part of this revolution, and it truly is a revolution in communication. It does bring power to the people.
I am amazed that I began a blog to practice writing in, because I love to write, and love to see how things look published. Had absolutely no understanding of blogs, had no idea what a blog roll was, think I understood linking, but uh, it took me awhile to figure out how to. How did I get from there to here? Still trying to figure that one out!
Learned from the BOB’s how difficult judging can be. Would love to thank the judges.
Pia, congrats on your nominiations! I’ve added button links to encourage my readers to vote for you, Poobah and BIO!.
*fingers crossed*
If you don’t win I’m going on a hunger strike.
Except for pasta.
And cereal.
Ooooh! Did someone say cereal? Munch away! Bohemians loooooveeee cereal!
Pia, thank you for your ever so sweet plugalicious self and I am THRILLED about your nominations! You deserve it dearest Pia!

I’m so proud of you and tickled pink… I’ve voted…
Ok I think I just voted. Are you nominated for more than one? I have to go check the other link…
Is there a limit on how many times you can vote?
congrats on the nominations… here from Michele’s.
Congratulations on being nominated, Pia. You are so deserving of the recognition.
PS: There’s never going to be a Toto 2 is there?
Hey Pia,
Congratulations! Had you on my blogroll for a while now…so actually your nomination shows MY good taste. Right?
Pia, the blog n-p category doesn’t seem open for comments. Am I doing something wrong?
I voted for you in best writing category. 🙂
The non pro category didn’t offer an option to leave a vote. 🙁
Good luck!
I love your blog an I love your attitude about community.
I voted already…Doug encouraged 🙂
