May nominations will be open shortly!

One of the things I love most about this month-by-month voting method is that each new month brings in a new batch of nominees that I get to become acquainted with and share with all the readers of the Hot Blogger Calendar site. Nominators, you never disappoint. You’ll see a few familiar faces in April’s lists, and also some fantastic new blood. And now, it’s time to choose the bloggers who will represent the month of April 2011 Hot Blogger Calendar!

You can get all the details about how the voting works here. (But don’t forget to come back.) For those who want the CliffsNotes version, here you go:

Would you believe that the 2009 Hot Blogger Calendar was so hot that it will take all of 2010 just to cool down the blogosphere again? No?

OK, maybe our lives were just a little too hectic, what with multiple jobs and life-changing moves, to devote the necessary time and energy into making a calendar hot enough to kick off the new decade. Yes, that’s more like it.

But now that 2010 is upon us, it’s time to start thinking about the 2011 Hot Blogger Calendar.

It’s too early in the year, you say? Au contraire! We need to start heating things up now in order to make 2011 the hottest year it can be.

Just, you know, FYI.
