Round 2: Best Blog & Best Post
Voting in the first round is now over and, about 300 votes later, we have three finalists in both categories. They are all great. Honestly, I'm not sure that I could pick between them.

I hope you'll find a new favourite blog today.In both categories, you are voting for a winner. Voting ends Friday night at midnight.Best BlogPrize: "I Am An NWT Blogger" T-shirt, handmade by Jen of...

So it begins
We have a lot of nominees for Best Blog and Best Post. I'm going to do those two in two rounds. You can only vote once for each question, but the top three blogs in those two categories will face off for the big prize starting on Wednesday morning. The others have fewer than five choices in each category, so we should be able to get through them in one round.This ends on Tuesday night at midnight NWT time. If you haven't already, please click through and read the blogs in each category before you...
