Bronze for SunnyO

Con­grat­u­la­tions to The Welling­ton­ista’s Llew (of Sun­nyO), who’s picked up third place in this year’s NZ and Aus­tralian sec­tion of the Weblog Awards.

Tim Blair, the Aus­tralian reign­ing champ, was always going to be tough to top, so it was real­ly a bat­tle between the three chas­ing kiwi blogs for sec­ond place, with Silent Run­ning just keep­ing a gap between him­self and Llew as the fin­ish line drew near.

A strong surge from the Sir Humphrey’s crew was­n’t enough for them to avoid the ignominy of a non-podi­um fin­ish, as Llew’s large and admir­ing cohort of read­ers con­tin­ued to cast their votes for his own lit­tle lifestyle block of cyber­space.

So, con­grats to Llew, and also to Silent Run­ning and the Sir Humphrey’s team for mak­ing it a good kiwi show­ing this year.

And now, for a com­pe­ti­tion in which a kiwi blog will have to win, we have the Net­Guide Awards…
