Bronze



The official results aren't in, but it looks like I came third in the Weblog Awards ANZ category.

Or as I like to think of it, the best blog in Australia not owned and financed by Rupert Murdoch. First place (and rightly so) went to Tim Blair of the Daily Telegraph. Second went to Gizmodo, published by Alure Corp, owned by a holding company of NewsCorp.

My thanks to all those who voted for me, and as soon as I've cleaned out the latest 70 or so automated spam comments my blog has attracted, I'll be writing individual notes of thanks.

    Well done, Zoe! Please, mind not if if I add your disclosure to a certain post.

    Zoe, this is a very respectable showing. I was voting for you for what it's worth but against Bilerico and Pam's for their embracing anti women of transsexual history stances over and over via editorial choices and biased enforcement of their own TOS.

    Good grief - it all went over my head...

    Congratulations anyway - you richly deserve this (indeed the first) place.

    I'm just glad it's finally over, Zoe.

    Ouch, my poor old fingers.

    This isn't an anual even, is it, Zoe? I don't think my poor old fingers could survive another one like this.

    :)

    "My thanks to all those who voted for me"

    My only regret is that I did not vote more.

    Cheers

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
