Two notable developments have emerged in the 'godblogging' community:
First,
Evangelical Underground is hosting the
1st Annual Evangelical Blog Awards. Categories include:
- Best Overall Evangelical Blog
- Best Designed Evangelical Blog
- Best Evangelical Blog-Politics
- Best Evangelical Blog-Ministry
- Best International Evangelical Blog
- Best Domestic Evangelical Blog (U.S.)
- Best Evangelical Blog-Apologetics
- Best Evangelical Blog-Pastor
- Best New Evangelical Blog
- Best Evangelical Blog-Humor
Nominations are open until February 14th and can be submitted via
email. Voting begins on the 16th and winners will be announced on the 18th.
The other is that
smartchristian.com has proposed
GodBlogCon, a blogging convention for "God Bloggers". A significant 61 bloggers have already indicated interest. Only 9 from Texas so far, and as proud as I am that
Joe Carter is a lone star resident, I do find it bit disturbing that
Adrian Warnock is also in that list.
If it is at all possible, I would like to attend this event. There is no date for the conference yet and the preliminary location is Arizona, although that too may change by the time things are finalized. One major plus is that the Keynote speaker will be
Hugh Hewitt. (Rumor has it that you don't even have to be a blogger to participate...the only prerequisite is that you have purchased
and read Hugh's latest offering:
Blog.)
