Just in case you didn’t get to see the list of the 2005 Bloggies™ finalists before the site went down (again!) due to the lack of bandwidth, I’m posting the list in the extended entry. But before you do, please click this link to the official site first to see if it’s up! If it’s still down then go see inside. However, you’ll still have to go to the Bloggies™ site to cast your vote whenever it goes back up again.
