The Eighth Annual Weblog Awards (the Bloggies) are on and ProBlogger has been nominated in the ‘Best Topical Weblog’ category. The competition is HOT. Oh for the days when they had a ‘best web dev’ award which I did ok in!
Also – congratulations to Skellie for her nomination in the Best Australian and NZ category – go vote for her – she’s got my vote :-)
My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from this new and dynamic medium from blogs like Digital Photography School and TwiTip - Twitter Tips.
Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time blogger and have blogged on over 20 blogs and co-founded the b5media blog network.

why are you not nominated for best Australian blog? Surely you’d be the biggest Aussie blog going around?

I can’t answer that question I’ve never received a nomination for their Australian/NZ category since I started blogging. Perhaps ‘y’aalll’ assume I’m not Aussie…. :-)

Maybe your blog is just too big to qualify for an Aussie blog and wouldn’t leave room for others :P
Anyway, thanks for sharing, more than interested in the competition, I’m interested on their continent-based categories since I speak Spanish, Chinese and Japanese (besides English) and haven’t had the time to find good-quality blogs on those languages.

It’s becoming too predictible (not you, other categories)…

Good luck with the award, Darren. If nothing else, the nomination may bring some additional readers to the blog – like you need help with that!

Congratulations!
I’m new to the blogging world, but I must say I see why Problogger got an award.
Excellent!
