The Nominees are in. And...

We are a finalist in two categories in the 2006 Black Blog Awards --- Best New & Best Topical Blog. Our blog buddy Angry Black Man mad the cut, as well. He was nominated for Best Humor & Best Personal Blog.

We beat out many other blogs in the blogsphere with a much wider audience base and larger readership. Over 500 blogs were nominated. Rattler Nation does not actively seek readers outside of the FAMU community because of some of sensitive issues that we've had to cover over the past few months. Once things settle down a bit, that could change. Yall know what i'm talking bout (wink, wink). So, making the final cut is a huge deal for Rattler Nation and we thank you all for making this happen.

While we are please to be nominated, we know now the hard part begins. The voting starts today and runs through August 31. So vote for Rattler Nation for Best New Blog and Best Topical Blog in the 2006 Black Blog Awards. Also vote for one the funniest Negros on the planet my blog buddy --- Angry BlackMF for Best Humor Blog and Best Personal Blog. Lets show them how we Rattler's do it, and how we do elections in Florida. Click to vote now ( and vote often) --> Black Blog Awards Ballot
