Last year we started an awards thingy for home blogs because we were tired of everyone lumping us into categories like "general lifestyle" or "topical" on all the other blog awards thingys. It was a great success, we discovered a ton of awesome blogs and we drove a lot of traffic to them (check out last year's winners here). Tomorrow we're opening up this year's submissions for the best home blogs in five categories. AND unlike most online awards, we've designed it so that it emphasizes sharing, celebrating and discovering new blogs. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
