in 20something blogger news

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

This blog would be absolutely nothing and read by no one if I didn’t join the 20SB community. Really. I’ve met the most amazing people in real life and online from it so I could not be more thrilled that we are up for a Weblog Award! So everyone should go vote for us for Best Online Community. You can vote once a day. We are way behind but can definitely catch up so go vote!

In more voting news, we just had nominations for the 20SB Bootleg Awards. It’s so exciting nominating your blog friends and hoping they get recognized for their awesomeness. Last time we did these awards, I won Most Likable. This year, I wasn’t expecting any nominations really because 20SB grew from like 400 to 3,000+ and we have tons and tons of fabulous blogs. I did entertain the thought of Oh How Lovely Shops being nominated for Best Shopping blog and only because I don’t know of any others in 20SB.

To my surprise I ended up being nominated for three awards and winning Best Shopping Blog already (no other shopping blogs got more than one vote).

I was nominated for:
- Best Design
- Best Guest Blogger (my favorite guest posts I’ve done were for Katelin with freakish childhood photos and Renee about ocean liners and gangbangers)
- Best Cross Platform Experience (blog and twitter, in my case and is totally exciting)

I’m totally flattered and was really honestly not expecting any of those. Thank you to those who nominated me!

Anyway point is, voting for the finalists is now open. You should go check out the categories, which blogs are up for what and vote. I don’t even if it’s not for me, you’ll probably find some really great new blogs like I did!

And if for some completely strange reason you are in your 20s and blog and are not part of 20SB?

Well, I’m going to pretend that’s not possible because you’d really be missing out on a great bunch of people!
