More of these
Few things inflame my sense of déjà vu quite as much as a blog-award announcement; in this decade, I’ve had more award nominations than I’ve had girlfriends. (Make of that what you will.) Kevin Aylward put together the Weblog Awards back in 2003, and at the time, some of the categories were based on TTLB Ecosystem standings. Technorati Authority is now a criterion, though since no one, Technorati included, seemed to comprehend the current incarnation of Technorati Authority at first, it took a little while to roll out the divisions. (Apparently this here blog is Very Large, which is news to me.)
Not that it matters to anyone at this point, but I actually made it to the finals of this particular competition twice: in 2003 and in 2005. So I still pay attention to it, if only to reassure myself that I don’t have to play this time around. Nominations are being taken in about 50 categories until the 20th.

Chaz-Isn’t it enough of a reward that you’re in my blogroll?

I have all the rewards I can reasonably expect from this sort of thing. Everything else is gravy, and I’m supposed to be cutting back on gravy.

It is indeed. Once they settled on a good one, they kept it.

I hate weblog awards. I want to not care but I can’t help it. I want to be popular, darn it!

Let’s not jump to convulsions here. I’m not on this year’s ballot; I’m merely doing some promotional work to help things along.
