Thank you all of you awesome friends that voted on Lifecruiser, YOU ROCKS! It will be remembered for a long time, warming our hearts in this dark wintertime…
I know that there were a lot of trouble to vote sometimes and that’s not good at all, but hey shit happens and it was a very big event with thousands of voters attacking the polls at the same time.
There were 526,974 votes cast in 45 categories. There was some really big differences in the amount of the votes - as it was in the blog styles.
1) Raymi The Minx 2281 (!)
2) Dooce 1379
3) Green Apple Martini 621
Lifecruiser ended up on seventh place in the Diarist category - or Diarrhist as I prefer to call me 
We’re very pleased with that result. Really. No bullshit.
There were 296 votes for a while, but we ended up with 226. They took 70 votes away from us, because they were from the same IP-adress. I noticed that even others had the same happening to them. Some supporter obviously got carried away - or if it was voters on a network with the same IP-address? (I know that several of our supporters have that).
I don’t know and I can’t say that I think that it’s matter since we weren’t in the lead. Though I found it interesting to see how this little ant stood us in the competition with the elephants 
There is always a lot of cheating, whining, accusations and argues around competitions, which is one of the reasons for why I normally don’t attend competitions at all.
Sure, I could suspect cheating in some cases, but since I’ve no proof I have to believe that they will be discovered by the Weblog Award team and if not, what can I do? It’s not the end of the world even though it’s always bad if cheaters get away with it. But that’s life.
I am however, very, very proud of being one of the finalists and getting that 296 votes is the very best, the most heartwarming in this whole competition. You actually love Lifecruiser. Wow. We love you too! ((hugs))
CONGRATS TO ALL THE WEBLOG AWARD WINNERS
And thank you to the Weblog Awards team for all the work! The final, official results will be announced the 18th. They have to make sure that all the votes are valid first. What a hard work hah? Phew!
Nominations for The 2007 Weblog Awards will begin in September with voting at the end of October 2007 and the 2007 Weblog Awards will be hosted at the BlogWorld Expo 8-9 November 2007 in Las Vegas at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Now THAT would be something I would be very interested in, going to Vegas! Not so much for the BlogWorld Expo, but to have a blast in Vegas! It’s on our wish-travel-list.
NOTE TO SELF: Must go there, another time, another year, with another wallet! *lol*

Congratulations. Personally, I do not read the big ones because I don’t feel they write from the heart. I think they write generically. I love your blog because you share your life and your self with us.
Lifecruiser: Thanks Maribeth. That really warmed our hearts. Yes, I agree with you there. Maybe they have been around too long and get a bit tired of blogging? I always think that they must have been really good at some point because people do link a lot to them.
Congratulations - I think you did very well!
Lifecruiser: Thanks deb
I think you are a winner just by being nominated.
And, I did look at that video. I don’t think it was me, ha,ha..
What? You don’t THINK it was you? *lol* How many bottles of Dom did you drink…? *giggles*
Congrats on your standings LC. Of course you are outstanding always in our books! Blog on!
Lifecruiser:Thanks ICL, you helped me a lot. Can you help me now too? I need help to be upstanding (not mr L luckily

Awe, I haven’t joined. Was only informed today.

Hopped thru Renny’s
Lifecruiser: Never mind being late - Welcome back anyway
You’ve all the reason to be proud of the result Lifecruiser! Congrats and good luck next year too:-)
Lifecruiser: Oh, thanks for the kind words… *blushing*
I was a bit stunnd when I looked at the winner’s blog. A diarist???? Hmmm…. I wonder what definition they used. Still I think you did really well just to be nominated as a finalist. Congratulations.
I am surprised that anyone could vote from the same IP address in the same 24 hours. I voted each day and a couple of times when I went to the link a bit early, I got the message that I’d already voted. But I also know that if people want to they can “cheat”, but goodness what a hollow victory that would be. I took a peep at those whining on the forum and thought that several of them seriously needed to get a life.
Anyway, I think you are number one.
Lifecruiser: Awww, tusen tack Marie. Yes, I know. I told you that there was very different blog styles
Obviously there is ways around so you can vote more than once. And some say something about scripts making the voting too. Well, I don’t like the discussions, I stayed away from the forums to not get involved and went there afterwards just to catch up a little.
Congratulations!!! that’s a big achievement, I am so proud I have you in my blogroll
(it shows my excellent taste!)
Lifecruiser:Yes, it sure does hah? *lol* Or maybe you got bad reputation because of it….? *LMAO*
