Weblog Awards


Wow. Voting is now closed and I guess I need to thank 117 people for voting for me (or maybe one person 117 times :-). The formal results will be issued tomorrow, presumably after checking. The winner in this category appears to be Busy Mom (go and check it out) with 129 votes.

In fact you might want to click on the logo above and check out all of the contenders. The fact that some were demoted is not a reflection on the blogs - it could easily just be a malicious vote-stuffer.... One blogger felt so strongly about the stuffing done to his blog that he withdrew from the competition Jason Kottke. Note that at the point he withdrew, he had enough votes to at least finish second.

Actually, looking through the entire list, only one "winner" is on my regular reading list: Allah is in the House (though not on the blogroll). I guess I need to expand my horizons....

Hi! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, It was entertaining and I found some new blogs to read. I'd like to come back to visit you if that's OK!

Busy Mom: Of course, you are welcome anytime. I have enjoyed the bits of your blog that I have seen. As for the competition, all I can say is that it looks like the [strike: "best man"] busy mom won :-) Sorry, I have been thinking that horrible pun since I saw you in first place last week. [Ed: Comment edited because the strikeout was not working for some completely unknown reason. Where is that bug form...]

Glad to see you came in second. No, I didn't vote 117 times. ;) Dunno how typepad works but in MT they have default HTML allowed in comments and strikeout is not in the default. I suspect typepad has someplace where you can tell it what to allow in comments.

Gday Kathy! Yup, there is a place in typepad where you can tick to allow html. That is ticked and strikeout used to work (I think). I have certainly used it before....
