Wow! Did you even know there were that many different types of homeschool blogs? Of course, it seems like they are missing a few significant categories. How about these:
1) Blogger most likely to homeschool in her pajamas
2) Messiest school room blog
3) Most prolific blogger – who needs sleep when you can blog?
4) The Homeschool blogger you love to hate
5) Best Homeschool Worrier Blog – will my kids succeed, are we doing enough school, will they get into college?
6) Best “My Kids are Cuter than Your Kids” Homeschool Blog
A little blogging here, a lttle blogging there. Airport blogging with wi-fi is the best.
I figure I easily qualify for the Messiest AND the Sleepiest Blogger Awards. Did I mention there are prizes this year? Prizes. And fame. Oh, the glory of it all.
You’ll notice there isn’t a homeschooling category in the whole 2007 Weblog Awards. Education, yes, but not homeschooling specifically. I bet they don’t even offer prizes. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
No hanging chads in these elections, I’m sure.

Sooner or later, if they add enough award categories, there will be enough for everyone to win. How ’bout these, for a few more potential Homeschooling Blog groupings:
I may be too late for this year, but I’m sure they’ll be wanting to work these into next year’s award categories.
Woohoo! And some more:
Most Confusing and Mind-Boggling Blog – the blog that leaves its readers most befuddled and bemused.
Longest Blog – the blog with the longest posts.
Most Pointless Blog – the blog which consists of meaningless babble.
Blog of the Nerd – self-evident.
Maybe I won’t qualify for the awards, but I can rest assured that if only people knew, I would win the Most Opinionated Person’s Blog Award.
I vote you guys win. AK
I like your categories and I think I could even win a few these categories – or come in a close second. LOL
