There are loads of blog communities where you can vote for your favourite blogs. I thought i would bring attention to two of the most popular sites - FuelMyBlog and Spicy Page.

Both of these sites work very in a similar way to Digg. You place an image on your blog to vote for your blog like the image to the right.
