In Cold Blog: ICB Detective Award Winners

The winners were announced yesterday and they are all great! I encourage everyone to check them out.

Winners!

And I hope that everyone has checked out the blogs that were nominated as they were all deserving. You will be hearing more about them here!

Some new things here!

I am trying to ‘spice’ things up here a bit. Well, I actually have been working on some of it for a bit, but have not kept up really well. I am trying to keep up on my sidebars, including the This Day in Crime History, current trials, sentencings, etc. I will also now be telling you about other crime sites and crime blogs that I enjoy. I want to share some of the sites I enjoy and read regularly. I will also be doing some Breaking News posts, keeping you up to date on stories when I see the news, even if I have not posted on the events previously.

Last Day to Vote for Crime Blog Awards (by 3pm EST)

Today is the last day to vote in the Crime Blogging polls posted by In Cold Blog. There are many different categories to vote in and everyone deserves to win (but of course, not all will win!)

Blog Award Nomination (new link included)

Corey Mitchell, author and owner of In Cold Blog announced the nominations for the In Cold Blog Capote Awards. There are several different polls you can vote in and all deserve the honor. If go there to vote, you will see that most of the blogs (if not all) are on my blogroll and I read them often. All are very talented. So please go and vote for your favorite! Click here to go to the voting.

OK, now, the best part (in my very humble opinion) is that my blog is up for one of the awards. I am floored that someone even nominated me! It was probably my sister! But, whoever it was, thanks! It made my day! Even though I will probably not win, as the others on the list are such great bloggers! I would have a hard time choosing a winner in any of the categories! But, a huge heartfelt thanks goes out to all of my readers. I do appreciate you all. When I started this, I never thought anyone would read it at all.

Here is the link to the category I am up for:

Gary Michael Hilton

Wow! I made the “big time”, so to speak

But not really. Just kinda! My blog got a mention in a newspaper, and not where I live. Actually, I had no clue about it! One of my fellow bloggers, Trench Reynolds, had to tell me! So, I am a bit giddy about it! It is not much either, but here is the link:

Murder She Blogged

Also, here is the link to the blogging group I belong to: The Coalition of Crime Bloggers. I recommend you go and read the blogs of my fellow bloggers. They are great! Also, I recommend the ones on my blogroll. Everyone is great. After the new year starts, I am starting a new “feature”. I hope to spotlight a crime blog every week. Every blogger has a different style or area of focus and it is good to see the views of many, not just one or two.

And, I just want to thank each of you for sticking with me and reading my blog. When I started this, I never expected anyone to ever read it! I look forward to making more new friends.

Top 100 Law Blogs

 

The American Bar Association (ABA) recently named it’s top 100 blogs. This is their first time doing so. Many great blogs made it, too, including 2 of my favorites. Take a look at the list and check out some of the blogs.

ABA Journal Blawg 100

If you want to vote for a blog, here is the link to do so: Crime Time. Above where it says Crime Time, you will see the icon for the ABA Top 100 Blawgs. Next to that is where you can click on each category and vote for your favorite blog in each category!

I’ve joined the coalition of crime bloggers, and you should too- because while the blogroll is limited to bloggers of the criminal mind- the group itself is open to everyone. Forums, blogs, and friendly discussions. All the dirt on the latest crimes. What more could you want?
