Congratulations to everyone on and off the list! I was pleasently surprised to see some of the results. I give personal shout outs to the following (in no particular order):

wow i had the most views i feel so proud now!

The first round of voting will begin later today. Details coming soon.

is there a way that the blog list can be updated? and is there a way to see the views of everyone but the blog maker? because ive visited my blog a bunch of times, making sure it looks ok, everytime i update a template, or css. so a ton of views, are from me. lol
thanks

I know what you mean sara , I've said as much in my blog, I came second on the list of most viewed, and I feel a bit of a fraud because I don't know how many of those hits are my own. I have noticed that the views that show up on posts in the blogs aren't correct because I've checked other peoples blogs that I've viewed before and my previous views haven't registered.

Nope.... they are not all your hits pantha.

Your blog is really cool in color and design. If ya got lots of hits it's because ya deserved it! Kudos!!!

thanks for that MountainStar, thats really nice to hear
I've really got into this blogging thing, it's opened up a whole new side to ATS that I never bothered to look at before. This is going to be a tough competition, there are so many blogs with good design and good content that I'm spoilt for choice for people to vote for.
I've cast two lots of votes so far, so if this stage lasts for the week that SkepticOverlord mentioned before , then I can fit in one more lot. Hmmmm decisions, decisions.

Shouldn't the second voting round begin soon? The original article said the first voting round would last one week after the beginning of may. That date has been passed more than a week ago.

The votes are being counted, i think

I think we have been abandoned for the rings contest.

eh, I don't mind delaying the inevitable depression that will ensue when I find out I did not win anything yet again. *sigh*

Lets wait a while longer.

Second round will be up tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to the start of round 2 in the bloggers comp.
I was wondering though, why has the section of most recent posts been removed from the main forum page?
I thought that it was a good way for the new entries to stand out.
I just wonder if as many people will visit the blogs now , when the only way to see new posts is to click on the little blog link at the top of the page.

I agree with pantha, I would often check that to see who posted recently and now that it is gone... I wonder how many people will even check the blog updates.

Oh im so excited now

The second round is online! I am glad my blog is in the 'best content' category.

Well since I didn't make the cut, hehehe, I'll just be voting beergoogles all the way. Go Beergoogles!

wow! thats made my day! I made it on to the list for best design!
Well if I don't win, I will be chuffed just to have made it this far
Thanks to anyone who voted for me in the first round, and good luck to everyone in this round. There are some excellent blogs there

I'm just about to place my second lot of votes in this round and I've noticed that one of the members in the running for funniest blog hasn't got any entries in their blog. Is this right or am I going mad??
I'm not going to say who because perhaps people might actually check the blogs and read the content that they want to vote on.

You are not going mad.. I am wondering how that blog even qualified despite vote count considering there were no entries in it ever...

AT any rate is this thing ever going to end? Did they announce the winners in private? Does anyone even care anymore? I just want to know if its over or not.
