UPDATE: It is official now, here’s a screencap from the Bloggies page:
I really like the fact that they used a thermometer in the design.
===============================================================
This was truly surprising. According to the Bloggies Facebook page, WUWT has been named the first ever winner of the Best Science Blog category (new this year for the Bloggies), beating Wired and Boing Boing, both of whom have way more reach and traffic than we do. I suppose it demonstrates the loyalty of our readers.
I have no idea as to the votes or margins, all that remains hidden, and probably for good measure. No voting wars broke out with this contest like we saw with Climate Audit and Bad Astronomy in 2007, and that’s a good thing.
I’ll make no speeches like Sally Field’s famous 1984 Oscar speech: “You like me, you really like me!” which is actually a misquote, and a popular parody.
I’ll simply say “thank you dear readers”, and leave it at that. I also owe thanks to the many moderators and guest bloggers that make WUWT what it is. You are winners too.
I have a temporary badge up, a permanent one follows when they have it all completed. The main page here http://2011.bloggi.es should have the announcement soon – Anthony
Light in darkness. Well done.
There are two groups of people on this earth.
Us and them.
Anthony, you are one of us. And the bloggie is not even close.
Congratulations, Anthony. Very deserved. I especially like the civil tone you try to maintain here and your openess to thoughtful critical positions.
Congratulations!! Keep up the good work.
Applause. Well earned.
I have only been here a few months but I could tell right away it is a good site, so I am happy you won – ‘grats, all of you deserve it 🙂
Congratulations to all at WUWT from the great white north igloo land.
This site has provided much instruction, entertainment, and opportunity to provide comment to such as me, just the common citizen seeking to know whether or not my vote is being served, and whether or not the information I was given leading to my vote was honest and true. Thank you. I am a bit wiser now. Your rewards are richly deserved.
Congratulations and well done.
Congrats and Well Earned!
What are you going to do for an encore?
Congratulations! WattsUpWithThat’s award is well deserved.
A big and much-deserved congratulations.
The big reward will be Romm’s reaction. I can hear his teeth-gnashing already. Bring it on, Joe baby!!!!!
Yay!
leftymartin,
Yes, despite million$ from G. Soros, Joe Romm continues his slide into irrelevance.
The concepts really are simple:
Make them do the science.
Make them show their work.
Make them listen to criticism.
Then repeat.
This is how science self corrects.
A thousand plaudits for this blog.
I’m glad I have the opportunity to read it.
When you go to the Bloggies Home Page they have links to their Facebook and Twitter feeds for the results. So I went over and took a look at the Twitter feed and they put up every category and winner except the Science Category and it’s winner. They even threw up a category that is not on the list for votes called the best Web application for Web logs and given it to WordPress so that if you just count categories with out reading the numbers come up the same: 30
You can check for your self here:

REPLY: The Twitter feed is DOA this year, those are last years winners – Anthony
Congratulations. I will be interested to see how this wonderful outcome is reported, if at all, in the MSM.
I can’t tell your how much I have enjoyed reading WUWT . Congratulations Anthony, on a job well done.
Gavin’s supporters explain why realclimate lost.☺
Congratulations, Anthony. It is well-deserved. And a big Thank You to the moderators who contribute so much.

Congrats, Anthony, good job. glad I helped with the vote…
This piece of news has made my late night study session worth it, congratulations @3:37am in Glasgow!
This site has been invaluable to members of the public concerned with the rhetoric being pushed by the IPCC and so on and provides us with fantastic information. Well done to the WUWT team 🙂
Congratulations Anthony.
Nice to see that you are getting the recognition that you quite rightly deserve.
I know it’s a lot of hard work, but let me say, “Congratulations!!!!”
The information presented is very helpful.
