Nominees of the Day: Writing & Literature

Today's 2010 Canadian Weblog Awards nominees, ahem, nominee of the day is from our Writing & Literature category.

This is our newest category, and it resides way down at the bottom of the list alphabetically, so I can kind of understand how it might have been overlooked so far, but, come on, this is Canada. We have writers and publishers and people who know about writing and publishing lying around all over the place. Our writing culture runs deep, and it will be exciting to uncover more of what we have to offer. Thus far, we have but one lonely nominee:

Red Clover Literary Studio

I know that there are scads more just begging to be included, so if you know of an excellent Canadian weblog that fits into this group, nominate it in the Writing & Literature category of the 2010 Canadian Weblog Awards and share the wealth!

Nominees of the Day: Gardening

The 2010 Canadian Weblog Awards nominees of the day today are from our brand spanking new Gardening category.

As these awards evolve during their inaugural year, there will, of course, be some shifting in the number and naming of categories, but I was pretty sure that I had thought of all the basic genres until someone nominated a weblog about gardening yesterday and tried to shoehorn it into Crafting. I all but smacked myself on the forehead over that one and immediately created the Gardening category and its corresponding nominee button.

(PSSST. I also created the Writing & Literature category yesterday, because writing and books are as Canadian as beavers. Onward and upward.)

Canada has some truly gorgeous and inspiring gardening weblogs, and I can't wait to see the others that will surely join these first two pioneers. It already feels a little springier after taking a look at them:

Gardening with Latitude
Greens & Berries

If you know of a good Canadian gardening weblog, take a moment to nominate it to the Gardening category of the 2010 Canadian Weblog Awards.
