The Blogpower Awards have now closed. There have been some shenanigans and unpleasantries (see Crushed by Ingsoc's post here for a bit of an overview) but I am delighted to have come first in the best blog name category and to have come second to Dead as a Dodo in the best Blogpower Blog. (the truth is that I came third, but James Higham has decided to withdraw in order to defuse any (wrongful) accusations of impropriety as the awards organiser).
Congratulations to everyone else who deserved it, I'm looking forward to the forthcoming awards ceremony. They kept the idea a big secret but it is up now on pageflakes.
In a word- inspired...
(Punch the air! is a John Shuttleworth Catchphrase)
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI voted for you in "Best blog name."
Congratulations. It's a great blog and a great blog name.

Well Ian, your victory in best blog name is actually one of the rare examples of one of my original nominations actually winning. Bel as best political blogger is another example.
ReplyDeleteI think it works because it's short and sweet, catchy and your blog does exactly what it says on the tin.
I meant to say congrats on the other placing as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the thanks, folks!
ReplyDeleteMany congrats on the award! And frankly you thoroughly deserved to beat us for best blogpower blog - we blame a bout of extinct avian ballot stuffing.
ReplyDeleteYes Congratulations. You have a great blog. Always interesting.
ReplyDeleteDaaD- kind words, I'll refer to them in my acceptance speech! ;->
ReplyDeleteSee you in SL, Colin.
