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 am really impressed that we have so much variety in our territory. Remember to check out each entry before you vote. 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.

If you haven't already, please click through and read the blogs in each category before you...
