The 2010 Black Weblog Awards Finalists

With over 10,000 ballots and over 32,000 nominations, This year has been our most popular year to date. We say that every year, but it's true! Every year, we just keep on growing.

In several categories, only one ballot separated the finalists. Talk about a close race! When we tell you that every nomination counts and you need to campaign if you want to win, we mean it.

We'll talk a little bit about our vote audit process and give you a couple of helpful hints in a later post, but for now, we present to you our 2010 Black Weblog Awards finalists.
