Vote early and vote often (yes, that's allowed) for the 2008 Bloggies.

It's that time of the year again: you can vote for your favorite blogs in a number of categories for the 2008 Bloggies (officially known as the 2008 Weblog Awards). Much like last year, some of the most popular group blogs and most familiar individual faces are back. Some of the names we've mentioned here on HASTAC, including Pam's House Blend (1 2 3) and The Sartorialist (1), are up for honors again this year (those are nominated in Best LGBT Blog and Best Fashion Blog, respectively).

But there are also great new blogs that I had no clue existed until I started filling out the ballot for myself. My new favorite, for completely ludicrous but extremely smart videoblogging: Scotty Got an Office Job.  The organizers have 7 categories for blogs based on their Technorati rating, ranging from "Major" to "Hidden Gem" to give the credit that many less-trafficked blogs deserve.

Voting is open through Tuesday, January 13th, and you can vote more than once. Vote up to once a day in each category, and I'll be sure to announce the winners here later in the spring.
