Prepare your browsers. It's time for the Eleventh Annual Weblog Awards. The Bloggies began in 2001 to discover which blogs the Web considered the best, and have grown to be the longest-running and one of the largest awards for weblogs. Which lucky bloggers will earn a Bloggie this year?

The winners will be announced on Sunday, February 27 from 8:00-10:30 PM EST (UTC-5) on the Bloggies’ Twitter feed and Facebook page . One winner will be announced approximately every five minutes, culminating with the Weblog of the Year at 10:30, at which point the winners will be posted to the site. Follow the feed to keep up to date on the Bloggies!
