Thanks Jon!

I’d also like to add one more category that we’ve somehow missed:

Best Podcast:

Mormon Expression
Irreligiosophy
Mormon Stories

Are there any others?

I’d like to nominate USU SHAFT for best new blog. But hey, I’m biased–I write there. Ha ha.

Holly — you mean the blogroll here at Main Street Plaza? You’re already on it.

If you know of another former-Mormon blog that you think we should add to the blogroll, just leave a comment here with the link.

Aw, MoHoHawaii, thanks! I thought the only nomination I’d get would be my own, lol.

Also, I have a question. Is there a way to get listed on the blogroll?

Hellmut — I’ll gather all of the nominations, sort them by category, and post the list when it’s time to vote. I’m actually planning to go back through my “Sunday in Outer Blogness” columns from the past year and look for other posts that deserve to be nominated (especially in categories where there were only a few nominations).

I don’t think we can re-post all of the nominations in full, though. First of all, most of them are on other blogs (and we don’t have permission to repost them), hence the ones we do have permission to repost would have an unfair advantage. Second of all, I think it would be confusing to suddenly repost fifty old pieces — people would have difficulty tracking down the new/current material to figure out what’s going on.

Unless you just mean that each category (with links to its nominations) should be given a separate posts. That might be doable…

Chanson, there are so many nominations of great posts, I cannot possibly read them all and do them justice.

I am wondering if we should post each price separately. That way, readers have enough time to enjoy each entry and the quality diligently.

Thanks for the fantastic nominations, everyone!

If I’m feeling ambitious, maybe I’ll go back through all of my “Sunday in Outer Blogness” link lists to see if I can find some more posts to nominate.

On second thought, I disavow my previous comment re Jeff L. and Kevin B.

Rather than mimic the nattering Nibletologists over at Nine Moons, I will try to emulate the spirit of compromise shown by the organizers of this year’s Niblet Awards.

Mormon Matters was gracious enough to allow us atheists to compete in their Interfaith category. To return the favor, I’d have no problem allowing believing bloggers to compete here at MSP in the category of Best Mennonite Writing of 2009.

By the way, there’s still time to follow the MM link and vote for FMH. With the voting this close this late in the game between BCC and FMH for the Big Kahuna, well, beware the love bomb, and take any last-minute tokens of affection from BCC permabloggers with a big grain of salt.
