ProBlogger Wins Bloggie
Thanks to everyone who voted for me in the Sixth Annual Weblog Awards. I was surprised to be nominated in the ‘best web development weblog’ as I focus upon such a small niche within that overall category and even more surprised to find that I’d taken out the category when announcements were made of winners today.
Thanks for your nominations and votes.
Now lets get on with some blogging.
PS: Did anyone else notice that Blogger.com was voted ‘Best Web Application for Weblogs’!?!?
That is truely bizarre!

Good job, mate. Not sure you’re a web dev blog, but you’re definitely a blog dev blog. :)

Congrats Darren my friend!! But seriously without any hypocrisy you don’t really deserve it for the web-dev category, for the BlogBlog category!!

Good stuff, Darren. Now you can go on a spending spree with all those prizes…
Yup, Blogger.com beating out WordPress for best web app for weblogs – that’s BS!
Gotta love the best European blog’s title ;-)

Well done Darren. Very well deserved.

David – I just think most serious bloggers would vote WordPress or some other advanced blogging software as the best web app. Blogger.com is fine if you want a basic blog but feature wise it’s very basic, they have server problems from time to time and are not a blog system that is really developing much over time. I guess it shows that those voting in the competition are a different kind of blogger perhaps than what most problogger readers are.

Blogger.com doesn’t even come close to WordPress in nearly every aspect – hence it is a very bizzarre winner, imo.
Maybe the “different kind of blogger” simply does not know how easy WordPress is to install and how much control you have over it.
I know I was hestitant to move to WordPress over from Blogger.com thinking of the learning curver ahead but I was glad I did.
