02/02/2007 Archived Entry: "Blarch Badness Blog Voting"
Seattle Metroblogs (or is it Metroblogging Seattle?) has decided to do some voting on "best" Seattle weblogs after wondering why Seattle wasn't more strongly represented in the national weblog awards.. I'm not a big fan of this type of event (though I confess I've voted in the Bloggies in previous years), but the blogs they have seeded are certainly worthy of your consideration! The first round will be one-day voting this coming Monday, February 5. (I think I should be best Seattle blog emeritus!)
Monica "Net Native" Guzman gave Bloggies founder Nikolai Nolan a call. "Nolan said he doesn't keep track of which nominees have been from Seattle. 'Every year the bloggies get nominated from all over the place,' Nolan told the Net Native. 'I don't remember any year where Seattle dominated.' But he does remember that the very first-ever Weblog of the Year award went to a Seattleite, #!/usr/bin/girl."
Oops Update: I didn't notice when I first was writing this post that I actually am nominated in the West Seattle Regional bracket. Because I used to live in West Seattle, perhaps?

Well, see, the basketball tournament regionals are named for the cities where they're played, e.g. the Dallas Regional. So I did the same, just using neighborhoods.
So, you know, consider it a tribute. I tried to make sure long-standing bloggers were in the mix.
