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

What was the criteria for the award?
Wait for Romm to say votes don’t matter yet clings on to consensus. Baaaah humbug!
Congratulations !!!
My daily fix of sanity in the increasingly mad world of AGW.
The Greenshirts are on the march down here in Auz, a very scary prospect. A deceitful Prime Minister promised before the election not to bring in a carbon tax. Months after the election (with her government hanging on a thread, dependant on the support of the Greens) … guess what … yep … politics trumps honesty everytime.
It is a dark time for Australia … and it’s going to get darker with rolling blackouts as the Greens dismantle the fossil fuel industry …
We need the light, so keep up the good work WUWT!
Congratulations, a well-deserved win 🙂
Congratulations. It’s good to see your hard work gaining wider recognition.
Congrats from Northwest of Oz to all those that make this such a good site, one that has improved my education a lot. That is despite the possibility of my vote not registering as I only voted in one category.
The few blogs I knew from other categories I couldn’t stand, and certainly would not have voted for them. It takes enough of my time reading all the posts and comments here as well as CA and Jonova and one or two others from the media like Andrew Bolt, who sent me here a few years ago.
Congratulations to Anthony and his dedicated band of moderators!
Congratulations on a job well done. How can we move on from here and bring WUWT into the homes of many more people across the world to educate them on the truth about AGW. How can we work to double and treble the number of viewers who need to be educated on the real science of global climate and more quickly teach the world the true facts. Perhaps each of us could start by introducing a friend by emailing an interesting WUWT post to them.
Let me be the one hundred and somethingth poster to offer congratulations to Anthony and moderators for their well deserved award. HISTORY IS BEING MADE TONITE.
Congratulations Anthony and “the team” – you have a big and increasingly educated audience here in the UK.
Wonderful. Congratulations, Anthony et al. It’s very well deserved.
Congratulations to you Anthony, and all the crew and posters, who have made this the great site that it is.
Congratulations Anthony, and well deserved. I doubt if it will ever be possible to combine the unique blend of host, moderators, guest posters, reference pages and commenters that this site has on any other blog. I’m in awe of the work you have done and the way you have advanced our understanding of things. Best Regards to you and your family, Rev :-)).
P.S. I like the up/down vote for comments. Wonder who the troll was that downvoted all the earlier posters?
Congratulations.
I really enjoy reading your blog.
“…I suppose it demonstrates the loyalty of our readers….
More likely the honesty and integrity of the WUWT team.
You-all won it! Not us readers!
I also take it as an indicator of the impartiality and integrity of the contest managers.
Don’t let it go to collective heads.
Awards are a sideshow and not a raison d’etre
There’s a lot of work to be done if sanity is to be restored to Science.
Keep your eyes on the prize guys.
Now who’s spent a lot of time voting thumbs down for every comment since 10.46pm?
Victory for Sanity!
Viva la WUWT!
I would just like to express my shock that any organization would give an award to both the Huffington Post and WUWT.
Wooot!
Now, of course you realize that after the “adjustments” you came third.
what can I say ” Go Anthony – we all respect you and your contribution to science.”
Thank you everybody at WUWT for providing us with the truth!
The truth shall set us free!
at least my vote was well-spent
Outstanding!
Congratulations and a hearty round of applause to all concerned: Anthony first and foremost, all you moderators beavering away, the guest writers and the commentators, who all make this such an indispensable blog.
Thanks – don’t know what I’d do without WUWT!
I’d never heard of Boing Boing till this survey, and honestly, I found it entertaining, much like our dearly departed Weekly World News. I’ll be looking in there now from time to time. I’m a afraid though that how it qualifies as a ‘science blog’ escapes me. No matter.
My sincere congratulations to Anthony on this noble achievement! I think it speaks well to the quality of content.
