2010 Black Weblog Award Winners

I've been blogging since 2007.  For a couple of years I posted a monthly update known as Villager's Black Blog Rankings.  There were 1,766 included in the last published Black Blog Rankings.   As such, it is truly an honor to win a Black Weblog Award.  

Black Weblog Award founder Maurice Cherry did a remarkable job in growing this idea.  Over 27,000 votes were cast in the contest this year.   Without further ado ... enjoy the full list of 2010 Black Weblog Award Winners!
