Towleroad is a Finalist in the 2008 Weblog Awards
I'm thrilled to announce that Towleroad has been nominated for a 2008 Weblog Award, which is perhaps the best known and recognized awards competition for bloggers.
We're nominated in the category of Best LGBT blog. Voting begins today, and you can vote once every 24 hours on this page. Looking back on 2008, it's hard for me to believe everything that happened.
Some of the highlights:
The Democratic National Committee credentialed us for the Convention in Denver.
Corey Johnson joined us as Political Director.
Interviews with Barney Frank, Tammy Baldwin, Jared Polis, and Gavin Newsom.
Catholic League's Bill Donohue attacked us for our DNC credentials and got excited that he found men wearing jockstraps on our site!
Towleroad readers donated over $100,000 to the fight against Proposition 8.
Your participation gave us a big, proud picture of the Prop 8 protests and rallies around the nation.
Our comprehensive coverage of Milk, theatre, music, marriage, and hope!
You can cast your vote once every 24 hours until 5pm EST on January 12th.
The LGBT Category is HERE and other categories are HERE.
Also nominated for the 2008 LGBT Weblog Award are Blabbeando, Gay Patriot, JoeMyGod, Pam's House Blend, Susie Bright's Journal, Tammy Bruce, The Bilerico Project, This Girl Called Automatic Win, and TransGriot.
They're all great blogs, and you may be familiar with many of them. Pay them a visit if you get the chance.

Congrats Andy! This is by far and away the most intelligent AND the most well designed blog I participate on.

Of course my other favorite blog is TigerBeat.com but nonetheless this one has far more intellectually challenging fare than TigerBeat (most of the time).

Congrats! Your hard work has yielded dividends :)

For me, it's a toss up between TOWLEROAD and PAM'S HOUSE BLEND. A tie, perhaps?
But seriously, what's with the offensive nomination for GAY PATRIOT "the internet home for the American gay conservative"? At the risk of being redundant, that dick is a major tool.

Considering how many tips you ignore and how you avoid talk about books or oher aspects of gay culture, I voted for someone else.

Andy-
Thank you for the most amazing and informative site on the web. I appreciate all your hard work and all the good you do in the world because of this blog.
I voted and will vote every day.

First- Love the site. Always have.
Second- I am having a terrible time trying to vote for you. I voted last night no problem, but i think their site is over-loaded today. I will try again later.
Much love.
