I figured that since I spent so much time on this list, I should share it. If you have your own list o’ faves, go nominate them.
Here are my nominations. If I left out a category, it’s because I didn’t nominate anyone for that category. Reviewing the list, it looks like Dooce and Photodude are my favorite blogs, and that’s pretty much true. Here’s the rest of the list:

Oh, and happy new year and all that other looking-forward-to-the-coming-year crap.
Now that’s a really nice New Year’s surprise!
Wow, thanks to the brilliant and sweet-natured Kevin Lawver for nominating this blog for a “Best Writing” Bloggie ! In January of 2004 I spent time trying to get Blogger blogs to yield RSS.
Well, that is just great. I sat down here to “quickly” read your blog (and Heather’s) before I begin a day of lesson planning (put it off the entire two weeks of Christmas break) and had to check out all the blogs you listed. I am HOOKED. I had some self-control and only bookmarked 8 of them. Sigh… I am addicted to reading blogs! I have always loved biographies. Many reasons, none of which I will get into to spare your the boredom of my deep, deep thoughts but I just do. THANKS for the list! Happy New Year! 🙂
I’m all about sharing…
I feel so overlooked… how could you fail to mention the best Virginia fly fishing blog???? 😉
Because someone didn’t tell me they started a blog… cough DEAN cough
