I’d like to Thank My First Grade Teacher…. My Parents….

Posted By Darren Rowse 15th of November 2007 ProBlogger Site News 0 Comments

Thanks to everyone who voted ProBlogger the Best Blog about Blogging in the 2007 Blogger’s Choice Awards. Congrats to BloggingBasics101 and Lorelle for coming in 2nd and 3rd.

Apparently there was an awards ceremony of sorts a few nights back in Vegas where it was all announced and I get a T-shirt as my award – not that I need any more at the moment :-). Anyway – thanks everyone for the vote. The 2008 awards have just started now – the Blogging about Blogging category is here and there are some great blogs listed already – quite a few that I’d not seen before.

  4. Your blog about blogging has been and will continue being a great resource for all blogger far and wide. You practice what you preach. You relentlessly dispense content that is timeless,unique, and useful.

    On Behalf of The Blogosphere:
    Thank you for doing the great work you do!

  5. Thank you for doing the great work you do!

  6. You’ve got a great blog Darren, of course, but I find a lot of these awards, especially in the narrower niches, are doled out to those who can motivate their readers the most to vote for them. In my Asia/expat in Asia niche, style seems to win out over substance!

  7. Congrats on the award.

  8. I was at the party in Vegas and it was a lot of fun! But I wanted to give you props since you are the first winner who I read on a daily basis (and I read a few of them) to acknowledge your win. Thanks for that! Here is a picture of the awards: http://tinyurl.com/yogug2

  9. congrats Darren..you had to get that..no second thoughts about that!!

    and about the T-Shirts they looked awesome. I will surely be designing few for myself and wear them at my school. I am sure that will turn out to be a nice marketing gimmick considering my friends still do not take my blogging madness seriously. And most importantly my teachers will notice that. Most do not know how much time i am spending into blogging!

  10. Congratulations Darren, very well deserved!

  11. Congratulations!
    You definitely deserved it.. :)

  12. Congratulations and thanks for writing the blog. It’s been most helpful. Hope you have a nice day. :)

  13. Congratulations ~ always nice to be recognized for something that you obviously put a tremendous amount of hard work into.

  14. Muchas Felicidades! (Congratulations!)
    I have been reading your blog since the beginning (so I guess), and I am glad I recognized the value of it even I was not an expert in blogs. Now that I read a lot, I always come back to your site because it is like “coming home”. Thanks so much!

  15. Congrats Darren

  16. Congratulations, Darren! The voters are right : )

  17. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

  18. Thanks for sharing your beautiful thoughts with us Darren. My best moment by far as an avid reader of your blog was the way you overcome the pagerank issue. You are a smart guy and you deserve all the best. I believe this is just another beginning of your brilliant career. Congratulations.

  19. Good “speech”. You’ve been practicing that one every year when you watch the academy awards, haven’t you? “I know what I would say if I got one of those…”

  20. Third? In what? Huh? First I’ve heard of it. Hmmm.

    Congrats on winning, Darren, and you deserve it totally. What I’m doing on the list still puzzles me, as I don’t feel worthy, but I’ll have to check out my competition now. :D

  21. Congratulations Darren!

    If you’re not in need of the t-shirt, why not start off a simple contest and give it away to the prize winner ;-)

  22. Way to go! Time to raise your advertising rates.

    Love the beginning of your “thank you” list. Did the music start up before you got to finish?

  23. I came up 3rd in Marketing with Brian first

    Up until the last minute there was a Brazilian blog way out in front, maybe they had a lot of invalid voting or something.

    Thus I didn’t try to push the voting in the last week.

    I suppose being 3rd to Brian and Seth Godin isn’t too much of a disgrace ;)

  24. Congratulations an dyou deserve it
    It is a very nice blog

  25. Well done Darren. Keep up the good work.

    Geoff

  26. Congrats, you for sure deserve this awards. Keep going!
