Yes, I know, these blog vote things usually end up as just a competition to see which web site can get more of their readers to vote. However, I think there's been some interesting (and some trolling) comment on this thread, and I've learnt about a few new blogs, so I hope everyone else has too. Erin - yes, I'll be giving away some branded (I have a new logo) something or other to the winners in each category. JAPUNDIT - thanks for the compliment!
