Most Beautiful Edublog 2005
Filed under: Uncategorized. Tags: awards, Noteworthy, weblog.
I won! Most Beautiful!? Never thought I’d be saying I won a beauty contest…
Thanks to everyone who voted at this year’s Edublog Awards – this blog was voted the “Most beautiful/best designed edublog.” I was pretty surprised – there were some great nominees, and I’ve found lots of (new to me) blogs to follow.
That’s pretty cool. However, I can’t take the credit – I’m really just assembling various off-the-shelf pieces. Massive kudos have to be sent to Michael Heilemann from Binary Bonsai for designing the totally kick-ass K2 theme for Wordpress.
This is the first award I’ve ever won for blogging – I can now say (with a relatively straight face) that I have an award winning blog. That’s kinda scary, but it’s something my parents will appreciate (even if they don’t read the blog itself).
My acceptance speech was bit lame – I didn’t prepare anything because I didn’t think I’d win. So, I just babbled about the pretty banner images for a minute…
The real story of the awards was the total global domination by Canadian bloggers. Something like 7 of the awards went to Canucks..
Semi?
Thanks, Dad.

Congratulations, D’Arcy – and you thought your parents wouldn’t see your blog.
Ha – just because i’m 70 and semi senile doesn’t mean I’m not able to watch your progress, with pride.
love
dad
Congratulations D’Arcy, a well-deserved win! Even though I usually use Bloglines I still stop by your weblog from time to time just to see your latest pictures especially your fabulous panos. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations. It is a good looking blog and you deserve the award; however, I, for one, come here for the content. Great stuff.
“Semi” is a good thing. The world trade industry would be in havoc if it weren’t for “semi” trailers to haul their goods.
The alphabet would also be unrecognizable without the “semi” circle.
For example, without the semi circle, there would be no letter “C’, or “B’ or “D”, or “G” or “P”, or “R”. They would all look more like “O’s”.
And where would the well known cul de sac be if the planners couldn’t make use of the semi circle?
So, as you can see, I’m proud of my semi senility.
luv always
dad
