I’d like to thank everybody that supported Blog Of The Day. It was an experience that taught me a lot and I aim to apply what I have learned in my blogging in the future. I should also add that there were some great blogs that I couldn’t include in the awards, simply because there were not enough days !

Finally, two things: first, I started out with the intention of making occasional awards for Commendable Comments … but I just didn’t have the time to read all the comments for all of the posts on all of the blogs I looked at. Sorry folks.

Secondly, I will continue The rog-blog.com Blog Awards in some format in the future. I haven’t dcided quite how, but it won’t be daily. More likely weekly or monthly. Watch this space for more news !

So here it is: a review of the winners followed by the revelation of the winner, The Blog Of Blogs. My congratulations to the winner !

This guy has won today’s award because he has a cute picture of his dog on his blog

Not !

(Although I did say that I might make these awards on the basis of just one thing, like a picture, so get snapping !)

But seriously, that’s not the only reason. No, because today’s winner would probably come top in the Bursting Out All Over category of my awards. His blog has a veritable torrent of ideas that are all executed with panache and style.

It turns out that we used to be very near neighbours, at least until he upped sticks and moved to the other side of the world. And you can see from the pictures and videos on his blog that he’s living in an idyllic setting. I wish that I’d had the chance to meet him in person before he went south.

But even though I only “know” him though his blog, email and his forum posts, the over-riding feeling that I get from this guy is his passion for what he is doing. He has a brilliant product out there for twitter and he’s soon to launch a series on video for marketers.

His blog totally embraces all the new media like video, and audio. (Though to be honest, the borders make it look like it’s laid out on the living room floor !)

Talented, helpful and enthusiastic. The truth is, I am rather envious of the guy !

If you haven’t already guessed, today’s winner is Josh Bartlett for joshbartlettblog.com.

Congratulations Josh ! Your BOTD award badge will be on its way very soon.
