Pittsburgh’s Most Valuable Blogger Awards 2011
So, this thing happened…
CBS Pittsburgh’s Most Valuable Blogger Awards 2011
There was blogging, there was voting. There was certainly some goofiness. I still haven’t been contacted by anyone at CBS. I know other bloggers have. Just so they know, the contact form on my blog works quite well. There was something about prizes, but the rules detailing how one could claim a prize are gone. I really thought I had no chance of winning, as there are so many cool blogs out there. I’m not sure what kind of bragging rights this gives me. Do I get a T-shirt or stickers or something? “Hey, I’m annoying and goofy on the internet!”
It’s good to know that I’m the people’s choice, and not the editor’s choice. I blog for the people, not for the editors. I bet I won begrudgingly. Ha ha. They were probably all like “Oh crap, not that one!”. I have to say thank you to whoever nominated me, and thank you for all my friends & family (& readers – who most likely fall into one of the aforementioned groups) who voted!
Here are the results…
Dining and Entertainment
- People’s Choice: World (and Lunar) Domination
- Editor’s Choice: Cooking in College
Local Affairs
- People’s Choice: The ‘Burgh, Exposed
- Editor’s Choice: The Pittsburgh Comet
Sports
- People’s Choice: The Pensblog
- Editor’s Choice: Bucs Dugout
Health, Fitness and Medical
- People’s Choice: Thomas Marshall Does It All
- Editor’s Choice: Thomas Marshall Does It All
Lifestyle and Family
- People’s Choice: Brown Eyed Baker
- Editor’s Choice: Brown Eyed Baker
Everything Else
- People’s Choice: YaJagoff
- Editor’s Choice: That’s Church
I call shenanigans on Only In Pittsburgh & Beyond Willpower not winning at least one “choice” in their respective categories. It’s also odd that some of the people’s choice & editor’s choice were the same thing… Why not spread the love? I will go all mushy on you now, & say that everyone wins here, because we all got some exposure & hopefully traffic to our blogs that we might not have had before. I’ve even added a few of these to my WordPress reader/feed. Go check out all the blogs and their descriptions, and see if there’s something that piques your interest!
Some of the ones I dig:
- Only In Pittsburgh
- Beyond Willpower
- Ali’s Art Adventures
- Ya Jagoff
- That’s Church
- I ♥ PGH
- Mr. Baconpants
- Burgh Baby
- The Pens Blog
- The Pens Nation
Hopefully we all say “yinz” without noticing and with pride. Thanks CBS & Pittsburgh! And, of course, thanks to these guys & gals for letting me know what’s up!
Thanks Peeps!
