Friendship blogs cover all aspects of friendship, like finding new friends, advice on making friendships better, and even discussing someone's personal experience with their own friends. Some are written by relationship experts while others are written by average folks who just want to honor (or figure out) their friendships.
Blogs can be funny or serious, act as a journal, or be a resource for helpful articles. The only requirement to be nominated and win this category is that the site has to be live. Have the exact name of the blog/website and its URL handy when you fill out the nomination form. If either the name or the URL is incorrect or missing, the nomination will not be accepted.
