Looking for SA blogs to nominate for the SA Blog Awards?
13 February 2008 South Africa, blogging
I was busy rounding up my nominations for the 2008 SA Blog Awards and realised that there are actually a quite a number of categories! 27 to be exact. So what I thought I’d do in the spirit of blogging is direct you to a few SA blogs that you might not know and therefore could nominate if you feel they deserve it!
- Hottest Gossip - Entertainment
- Kak Duidelik - Humorous, Entertainment
- Cape Town Daily Photo - Photographic
- Loner.co.za - Music, Entertainment
- MonkeysFist - Music
- Taste Matters - Food and Wine
- Relax with Dax - Food and Wine
- Wine Country - Food and Wine
- SA Rocks - Blog of the year, original writing, entertainment
- Constitutionally Speaking - Politics
- Bossom Buddies - Personal
- Roxilla - Writing, Entertainment
- Charl van Niekerk - Technology
- The coffee shop schmuck - original writing, humorous
- iScatterlings - Overseas
- StrategyOnline - Humorous, Personal
- Terri’s Web Stuff - overseas
- Cosmedia - Business, original writing
- Some No One - Personal
- Inside Politics - Politics
- The Bass Boat - Sport, Undiscovered
- Lavaink - Business
Looking at this list, it’s pretty difficult to find blogs for each and every category. But don’t worry, the power of the masses will fill the categories and we will find some real gems to vote for.
So, run off to http://www.sablogawards.com and nominate! You have until Friday 22nd of February. Oh, and while you at it, try and maybe find a spot for me. ;-) Maybe best undiscovered blog?
—————————–
Update: Seems that whenever you make a list of blogs, there are always people you will miss! ;-) I was going to list Mr. imod, but considering his traffic, he will get tons of nominations (Along with mine…) anyway! Oh, and sorry that I left your blogs out Charl. Heres a special list just for you.
- Bandwidth Blog -Technology
- Charl Norman - Personal, Undiscovered
- Car Blog - Entertainment
Did I forget any that you want nominated? ;-)
And here are a few more that commented that would like to be in the list:
- Chris M - Technology, Original Writing, Undiscovered
- Cheap Flights South Africa - Undiscovered
- From the Old - Technology, New Blog
Thats enough now. If you want a nomination from my readers, you are welcome to post a comment and punt yourself. I have already submitted my nominations. :-)

Ah dude, thanks so much for the support! I really appreciate and am really glad that others feel strongly about SA Rocks!! It’s been a monstrous year for blogs and for SA Rocks. Now only voting will tell in time. Goodluck on your side.

Hi Jason, thanks for the effort. It seems you’ve done some real work in putting this list together. That alone deserves a nomination from me :-)
Tip: Get the SA Blog Awards button dude. People would love it if they only had to click once and nominate your blog for your preferred categories.
Thanks for the vote of support.

Jason - You star!
Thanks for the pimp. Was not expecting to be pimped at all. I’ll vote for you man!
You went to a lot of effort. However, I cannot be nominated as I am a Namibian living in England even though most of my life was spent in SA I fall into the foreigner catgory.
Thanks a lot anyway
be well

It’s even more difficult to find categories for each and every blog.
The list of categories is even more bizarre than that on Digg, which I have given uip using because there is never a category for anything i want to “Digg”.
No categories in the blog awards for art, literature, history, health, religion or culture. As usual, the humanities lose out. Boo Hiss

Hey Tripeak, thanks for the mention! I vote for SA Climte Crisis - saclimatecrisis.wordpress.com soon to be climatecrisis.co.za
I think the SA blogosphere is in need of a better way of categorizing the blogs out there. I mean there must be tons of great SA blogs out there which we’ve just never heard of.

Hey Jason
Dankie virrie mention.
We decided not to run this year and instead focus a bit more on growing our community (both online & off).
Got some great things in store for the next few months, so keep checking back.
