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

I found it here:

Well done indeed.
Kindest Regards
Long overdue recognition for excellent work
Congratulation to WUWT on the bloggie win
Congratulations Anthony! This was a great science blog before any awards were granted. That said, It is nice to see you get the recognition you have earned.
Congratulations – this is very well deserved. Thank you for your dedication.
The cream always rises to the top. Well done Anthony.
Kind regards
Michael
Congrats, hope the word spreads.
Would be nice to see a ‘for the kiddos’ page on this site to help the youngins get their curious little minds on a path that recognizes the Scientific Principle.
You know, short discussions, small words.
Congratulations, Anthony.
I’m sure you would have won the 2009/2010 award, if we hadn’t pranked them into taking their ball and going home. But we were duty-bound.

REPLY: Thanks, this was a different contest altogether, on a higher plane than the other one that gave up. The “Bloggies” are now in their 11th year. – Anthony
Congratulations from Canuckistan Alberta where I just finished shoveling a foot of global warming off my deck just from today, and more coming.
Read this site everyday. Thank you Anthony and moderators.
Congratulations Anthony and the team. I have been a follower and occasional commenter for years now and this site has cut through the fog of deception and has been entertaining as well. Being best science blog will bring a lot of credibility to this site.
As Australia debates the “Carbon Pollution” issue, our conservative opposition has announced that it will repeal the proposed Carbon tax if it wins the next election. At least voters now have a choice, this site and others, will help to inform them as to why they have that choice. There are big guns on the other side but the scales are tipping.
Congratulations!
Well done, sir. Congratulations to you, all your co-workers and your spouse.
Hope all is well with her as well.
Congratulations Anthony!

Your readers return daily because they like what they read.
Congrats from down under! Your undying work in bringing us the truth is priceless.
Thank you very much A & mods.
Anthony, congratulations to you! This is a well-deserved honor! Special thanks also to your moderators, contributors and loyal readers — all who recognize this as the best science blog on the planet. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations. Keep up the good work.
Great job Anthony – it was never in doubt to me. You offer all sides, walk the walk (ie: use alternative energy where it’s viable) and don’t hide behind so called ‘consensus’. How refreshing.
Congrats!
Congratulations! Very well deserved to a very enlightening and thought provoking site…even though I’m often considered a pain in the a#@ur momisugly and fly in the ointment here, I rarely miss a day to check in and see Watts Up With That!?
Nice job Anthony et. al. !
REPLY: Thank you for the kind words. – Anthony

Congradulations, Mr. Watts, and to all the folks who helped make it happen.
Great! Congratulations for a really great job, and many thanks to Anthony and everyone that makes this blog so wonderful!
Congratulations! [snip]
You’re an indispensable resource. Very well deserved.
