Every December we put together a list of our favorite blog posts from the year. But for 2009, we decided that we're going to do something a little but different.

Below is our 2009 list of the best blog posts featured on Brazen Careerist and we want to know which were your favorite. Click here to learn how to vote. Each time that you vote, your name will be placed in a raffle to win 1 of 3 $20 Starbucks gift cards.

Voting will take place now, until Midnight on Wednesday, December 23. That day we'll announce the blogger on this list who received the most votes. They'll be crowned Brazen Careerist's Blogger of the Year and win a $150 Amazon gift card.

Best of luck to all of our Top Bloggers!

It's a great list, isn't it?

I just wanted to say that it was really hard to narrow this list down to 50 people. There were so many other great bloggers that we wish we could have chosen.

At the end of the day, we chose based on number of visits to the post and number of comments.

Thanks to ALL of our Brazen Careerist Bloggers for contributing such great stuff this year!

Even though I feel my post wasn’t my best work of 2009, honored to be included on the list.

No matter who wins, it’s always good to check out Brazen’s top posts of the year. Good job compiling it, Ryan!
