Blog of the year

The Bloggies have been running for a rather staggering four years - aeons before anyone had heard of a blog, there were awards for the best of them? Go figure.

Altough somewhat in the shadow of the net's Oscars, the Webby Awards, the Bloggies are the chance for you to pay some respect to your favourite site by nominating it for this year's gongs.

It wouldn't hurt to look over the winners of previous years for an idea of how far blogs have come - memorably, they've been been described as the "mass amateurisation of (nearly everything)".

Nominations close on Monday for the Bloggies and on January 28 for the Webbys.
