Nominate Best New Weblog
by RootNominate your favorite new European blog(s) here. First post must be in 2004.
Rules:
You can nominate as many blogs as you like. Please don’t be shy about nominating your own blog.
Nominations should preferably be in the form of comments or trackbacks to the relevant post.
Only European blogs are elegible. By that we mean that the blog should be written by Europeans, or else focus on some European issue. (Czech, Catalan…)
This weblog is not eligible for any awards, but our contributors’ other blogs are.
The nominating phase will go on for several weeks. The finalists will be determined by the number of nominations and our discretion.
The master post for the awards is here.

December 10th, 2004 at 6:26 amOh, and North Sea Diaries, though he seems to be kind of a rightwing nutcase. But he never writes anything really wingnutty, so there you are.

December 10th, 2004 at 11:19 amOooh! Ta for the nomination. But sadly I don’t think I technically qualify - although I’ve only started blogging properly during the last few months, I actually made my first post back in March 2003… Then promptly forgot all about it.
I’d add to the list:
The Road to Euro Serfdom - anti-EU, but (usually) in a thoughtful manner
Lose the Delusion - only been going a month, but looking very promising thus far -
David Weman Says:
December 10th, 2004 at 12:21 pmThomas, considering that she’s been blogging since 2001(!), I think you meant to post in another category.

Alex Says:
December 10th, 2004 at 1:05 pmI think Scott Clark of http://foreignnotes.blogspot.com should be considered.

Eric Gordy Says:
December 10th, 2004 at 2:59 pmCertainly new, and mostly European — my blog (is it too gauche to nominate my own?) is on Balkan and US politics and culture and other things that come to mind. It might be interesting for the Eastern-minded.
East Ethnia
No awards really expected, I’ll be taking some time to read the other nominees here. But I’ll be flattered if anyone takes a peek.

December 10th, 2004 at 3:36 pmI’m posting more in the spirit of self-promotion rather than actually expecting to win anything, but my blog “Militant Moderate” was new in 2004. Go and take a look! http://kenowen.blogspot.com
