The first ever Okie Blog Awards were established by, and decided by and for, Oklahoma bloggers exclusively. They are intended for our blogging peers to recognize and honor the excellence of diversity by bloggers within the state through popular nominating and voting.
On Aug. 5, 2005, Oklahoma bloggers began nominating their favorite blogs in each of 11 categories. In those categories with more than 10 blogs being nominated, the ten blogs receiving the most nominations made the final nomination list. The result was 56 different blogs being nominated for consideration as the best blogs among their fellow bloggers.
Voting began Aug. 20, and over the next two weeks, 53 active Okie bloggers submited ballots with a total of 411 votes in order to identify Oklahoma's best within the blogging community. The blogs listed below were judged to be the best of the best as determined by their blogging peers.
Congratulations to the winners and also to all the blogs making the final nomination list.
And thanks to everyone who helped make the 2005 Okie Blog Awards a success.
In solidarity,
Mike Hermes
