Just in case some of you were wondering I closed the voting early by a day, read about that here.

This has been a very interesting competition and all the blogs that were nominated are exceptional in their own ways. I hope this early recognition for some of the new ones on the list gives them the momentum to build their blogs further and be more successful than the ones that are more established already. Find past information about the voting competition here and here.

First of, I would like to thank the sponsors for this competition, PayPerPost, who are awarding a Postie Pack from their PPP Gear store and a $100 credit to all the winners in each category as advertisers to use on payperpost’s blog marketplace.

Congratulations to all! You bloggers better make it to the top of your game by the end of 2007 or else…

I’ll be in touch with the winners about how you can get your prizes.

At times the voting was really close with some blogs that didn’t win as clear leaders. But judging from the amount of click throughs  I sent {I was tracking them} I can see that a lot of people visited most, if not all, of the blogs that were nominated.

I wish the all the nominees the best of luck for the future, you’re still the Top 5 in your category .

I’m off to get some sleep now.
