The Weblog Awards Nominations





Now that I've made you laugh along with that precious child in my previous post, perhaps you might be willing to help nominate Talk Wisdom in one or two categories for The 2007 Weblog Awards.

I noticed (via LGF) that today is the last day to register blog nominations.

I went over there to vote for LGF. When I got there, I noticed this at the "Best Religious Blog" page:



Nominate your choice for Best Religious Blog. This is a return for a category that was dropped last year. Our objection was that most of the nominated bloggers were not primarily religious bloggers, but were usually mostly news and politics bloggers. We'll be watching the nomination pool this year to see if the religious blogger community is larger than it was two years ago.


The category was dropped last year? That really surprised me. I have links to several great Christian blogs in my blogroll. I'm sure there are hundreds, if not thousands of great blogs that could be nominated.

Well, I'm quite late on this so I'm not sure how much longer the voting will be open.

If you feel led to vote for Talk Wisdom, here are two categories where you can vote for my blog:

1. Best Religious blog.

2. Best Individual Blogger.
[Note: FYI If you do not wish to post a comment of endorsement, you can also register votes by clicking on the + (plus) sign near the word "Score" at the right of an already existing Talk Wisdom comment post. Just scroll down until you see one.]

Of course, no matter what happens all the glory, honor and praise belong to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Update!!!

Looks like they are keeping the nomination voting open for two more days!

10/16/07 Update:
I felt a bit sheepish yesterday when I thought I had misplaced Talk Wisdom in the "Best Culture Blog" category. However, I noticed a few other religion vs. culture nominees in the mix there, too. Most nominees, however, are secular culture oriented.

The caption reads:

Nominate your choice for Best Culture Blog. Culture being somewhat in the eye of the beholder, we're looking a wide cross-section of blogs on popular culture topics.


So, I'm not sure if the "shoe fits," so to speak. But if you feel led to vote in that category, that would be nice. Maybe, the more category nominations the better chance Talk Wisdom might have?

To nominate for "Best Culture Blog," go here.

My goal, as always, has been to get the Word out! Sharing the Word of God, that is!!

Nominations Closing
By Kevin Aylward on October 18, 2007 1:43 AM | Permalink | Comments (9)
Over the next 24 hours we will be closing nominations for most categories. This is a manual process so it takes a while to complete. As long as a category allows you to enter a comment (which is how you submit a nomination) then nominations for that category are still open. The "+" rating of nominees will remain open throughout the awards.

A select few categories may be left open for a few extra days where the number of nominations is low. If there are categories left open we'll provide direct links to them in an update to this entry.

Finalist will be announced the last week of October and voting starts Nov. 1, 2007. Keep watching this page for news and information leading up to the voting period and make plans to join us at the awards ceremony at the BlogWorld & New Media Expo in Las Vegas, Nov. 8.

If you haven't already done so, please go to the Nominations Index, click on the Religious blog page, scroll down to a Talk Wisdom comment post and click on the + (plus) sign (near the word "Score" to the bottom right) to register additional votes for this site. The "score" will be used for consideration in final nominees.

Thanks!

Talk Wisdom is also in the "Individual blog" category and "Culture blog" category. If you feel led to vote there, I would be grateful.
