The inaugural Bloggies have ended, and I have awards to hand out! We will start with the Copper Bloggies (3rd place in each category), then Silver, Gold and Platinum, saving the best for last. However, first let’s give a round of applause for all 64 blog posts that were nominated. Each is a delightful read and worthy of acclaim.

A Note on Future Bloggies:

My dream for this is not that I run the show every year. I would love if each year’s Bloggies were hosted by a different blog, like the Olympics being hosted by different host cities. If you are interested in hosting next year’s on your blog, or have ideas for how to run future Bloggies, find a way to reach out to me.

And if you followed along this year and don’t already have a blog of your own, I encourage you to start one! There was amazing stuff blogged in 2022 and 2023 is just beginning.
