Happy Second Birthday! (Part Six)

The Mitchenstein Blog Awards 2008
(‘The Mitchies’)
“As prestigious as you want them to be.”
(The picture above is, of course, of an Oscar, and not a Mitchie).
In line with the general self-congratulatory mood of this blogging week, I decided to have my own blog awards this year too. As presumptuous and pretentious as that may be, the basic idea is really just to show which bloggers and blogs I think have done well this year and maybe to alert you to a blog or two you’re not yet familiar with. And without much further ado (and I think you’ll agree there’s been a fair bit of ado so far) here are the Mitchenstein Blog Awards 2008:

Best Supporting Blogger 2008
For the blogger who encourages others by commenting on their blogs. Not in a weird way, but in an encouraging encouragy-type way.

Winner: Katie Allen, author of Random Thoughts of Katie


Most Conscientious Blogger 2008
Celebrating those bloggers who blog regularly and clearly put a lot of thought into their blog posts.

Winner: Liz Hall, author of Are We Nearly There Yet?


Most Thought-Provoking Blog 2008
For those blogs that really make us stop and think.

Winner: Shaw Coleman with Agent 832


Blogger People Would Most Like to See Return to Blogging 2008
This is a fairly self-explanatory award. So I don’t need to write anything here, although I will, otherwise it interferes with the whole look of the page.

Winner: Glyn Harries, author of Confessions of an Innocent Man


Best Newcomer 2008
Celebrating those new bloggers who have made an impact on our blogosphere (in blogging and commenting).

Winner: Anna Achermann, author of Anjushka (who is, however, slightly hindered by a lack of internet access at present!)

(Winners 2007: Katie Allen, Random Thoughts of Katie and Andy Hill, Old Enough to Know Better)

And finally, Best Blog Post 2008
I said I would go with the popular vote here, and I’m afraid it’s:

Winner: John Mitchinson with Confirmed

(Winner 2007: Glyn Harries with The Day I Lost All Respect for Andi Peters)
