Every year I like to make nominations for the Bloggies, and this year is no different. I spent a very large part of my day today working on this; my wife had to work late tonight anyway so I even stayed an hour past my normal end time to finish making my nominations. I know that none of my picks will turn up on the list, but it’s important to me to choose people I think are deserving of the individual awards. I also like to give my choices some linky love, so here’s a listing of my picks. I did get a bit silly for the “Weblog of the Year” category – who can really pick the ultimate weblog? All of these, though, are worth a look.

You know, this time I would love that in Latin America Blog, winns a blog that is written in Spanish
I know English is a language everyone can understand, but this year at least, the Blogs community, at least in Peru, has grown in a 500% compared to last year.
