After 120 judges spent the past few weeks wading through over 900 nominated blogs the finalists for the Irish Blog Awards 2010 were announced last night. After being shortlisted for 3 awards (thank you for the nominations!) I chose to remain in the News and Current affairs category and am chuffed to have been picked as a finalist.

Many congratulations to the fellow finalists!

• David McWilliams
• Human Rights in Ireland
• Bock The Robber
• Splintered Sunrise

Thanks also to Dediserve who are sponsoring the category.

The best thing about the Blog Awards finalists? All the new blogs I found last night and in previous rounds of the competition. Second best thing is a good night out meeting them and others at the awards ceremony in Galway next weekend.
