Mobbies awards for local bloggers - vote today

Each year the Baltimore Sun offers the Mobbies awards for, originally, bloggers in the Baltimore Metro area, and now for bloggers and some social media accounts. In Howard County, we have close to 400 bloggers listed on www.HoCoBlogs.com and of those, about 20 of them have been nominated for Mobbies. 

Voting is open November 4-14th, and you can vote each day if you feel so motivated. You can vote here.

To stay up to date with the local blog scene, follow @hocoblogs on Twitter or Facebook, and check out the many blogs from HoCo individuals, businesses and organizations on hocoblogs.com.
