The 2007 Weblog Awards

I never expected it to happen, but it did. The Presurfer has been announced as a finalist for The 2007 Weblog Awards in the category 'Best Blog.' Voting is scheduled to begin Thursday evening (late), but the organizers can't yet pinpoint the exact time polls will open. Check back here for updates on poll openings.

I have no illusions on winning this because the competition I am facing is very strong. The other 11 finalists are Michelle Malkin, Huffington Post, RawStory, TechCrunch, TownHall, Andrew Sullivan, Captain's Quarters, Gawker, PostSecret, The Moderate Voice, and Boing Boing. I consider being a finalist a great honor as such.

It was Presurfer reader Mike who nominated me for this award. Thank you, Mike!

update: The number of finalists has been reduced from 12 to 10. Here are the 10 finalist: The Presurfer, Michelle Malkin, Huffington Post, RawStory, TownHall, Andrew Sullivan, Captain's Quarters, Gawker, PostSecret, and Boing Boing.

Gerard posted my link to the "How to Anger a Telemarketer" a couple of years ago, and I was tickled that he thought it worthy of his site. Many of my designs are derived from what I have seen at The Presurfer, and I'm very thankful! Thanks, Gerard- you'll have my vote!

Four years I haved surfed the net; and Bar none The Presurfer is the Best web site I have ever came across.
Come on People: Vote "The Presurfer"
This person must put a lot of time into this site;I'm familier with the compettion and they don't hold a candle to Gerard's work.
Enjoy it like I do; but the least you can do is show your appreciation by giving a vote to The Presurfer;the best site on the web.
Thanks Gerard.

I'll vote for Gerard... certainly more appealing than neo-cons such as Malkin.
