We’ve had some exciting news here at Babble Australia. Our fabulous sister sites Gizmodo Australia and Defamer Australia are both finalists in the 2008 Weblog Awards! Now because mama always told me to look after my siblings I’m calling on y’all to vote early and often for the sites in these categories:

Defamer AU – Best Gossip Blog
Gizmodo AU - Best Australia or New Zealand Blog 

C’mon and give Perez Hilton and Tom Blair a run for their money! You may vote once every 24 hours in each poll.

Think of all the things we’ve given you, dear readers, in our first four months together. There was the Nose Gel dispenser, the Foetus Cookie Cutter and the rather attractive photo of Hugh Jackman straddling a horse.

We don’t ask for much in return. But if you’re enjoying the ride so far, we would be eternally grateful if you could trot on over to the 2008 Weblog awards and nominate us in the following categories:

*Best Australia/NZ blog
*Best Parenting blog

It’ll only take a few minutes of your time, and if we win, you can look forward to many, many more images of little Suri Cruise. We’ll also be asking you to saddle up* and vote in a couple of weeks, but we really want to ensure we get some nominations, so head over and help us out. Pretty please.

* OK, enough of the horse metaphors.
