The website is up, read the rules carefully, check out the categories, think deeply, collect all the needed URLs and start nominating. But first, why don’t you drop those URLs in the comments here as well, so we can all discover bloggers we may not know about as well?
For the LGBT category, there is nobody who can beat Pam.
But for the “Best Science/Technology Blog” category, you know there will be techies there galore. Can we nominate, promote and vote for a science blogger?
How about my SciBling Karen Ventii?
Or Samia?
Or Clifford?
Or The Urban Scientist?
Who am I missing?
Perhaps if we pick one of them and nominate/vote like crazy we can get a science blogger to win over various techies?

    I’m a non-black non-scientist. I think that means I’m not a raven.

    But I’m not black?

    I blog about environmental science and environmental education.
    Check out my blog. I’m hoping for a nod, too.

    Thanks for the nod Bora. I’ve got my finger crossed. I’ve gotten some nominations from popular blogs. Maybe the list of nominations might yield some interesting names/urls to be considered for the next Science Blogging Conference.
    Any word on the upcoming conference?

    Thanks Bora, I made the list of finalist. And you were right, the other nominees, save 1, are tech blogs.
    Thanks for your posting.
