For months and months BloggersChoiceAwards.com has been a highly-trafficked, very popular site in the blogosphere. It's been a huge success and as many of you know there have even been a couple of celebrities campaigning to win in the "Best Celebrity Blogger" category. This is truly a testament to the power and reach of the blogosphere. That being said, the winners of the 2007 Blogger's Choice Awards were officially revealed at a VIP party this past Saturday night at TAO Las Vegas. Everyone who attended the party had a great time and enjoyed seeing who some of the most popular blogs right now are. In fact, our Posties took lots of photos of the event (as well as PostieCon) and many of them can be found here.
If you weren't able to make the party then you can see a list of the winners here (or in the list below):

PostSecret won Best Blog About Stuff? Do people actually read PostSecret? That one baffles me.
I also find it interesting that Perez Hilton won both Best Gossip Blog AND Worst Blog of All Time. And BLOGGER won Best Blogging Host? Wordpress got ROBBED. Now I'm off to check out some of these winning blogs!

He he! Check-out Alexa.com. People do actually read the Postsecret site. Believe-it-or-not it has a pretty good ranking!
P.S. I thought you were coming to PostieCon! How come I didn't see you there?

PostSecret is incredibly poplar amongst the gaggle of geeks I'm friends with. It's like somethingawful.com. No one thinks it's popular, but my gosh, it's its own community!

Ashley!
Since I think Perez Hilton will not need that many t-shirts, can I have his Most Obnoxious Blogger's T? I bet I was 1st runner up on that category. I promise to tell the world how handsome boy Asley is. LOL.

Looks like Perez Hilton won 3 blogger choice awards. How did that happen?
Congrats to all winners.

Ashley-I didn't mean it like "does anyone actually read PostSecret?", I read it! What I meant was, it's not really a blog about STUFF. It's a blog about people's postcards that have their secrets written on them. To me, a blog about stuff is like a shopping blog or a product review blog. That's what I meant by that.
I wasn't able to come to PostieCon because my husband got sent to Phoenix, Arizona for MCSE "boot camp", meaning I had to stay home with our three kids. I will do my very best to be there next year!
