2006 Okie Blog Awards

The Okie Blog Awards are 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. 14, 2006, Oklahoma bloggers began nominating their favorite blogs in each of 12 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 is 87 different blogs being nominated for consideration as the best blogs among their fellow bloggers.
