2007 Bloggy Awards Nomination Norvasc Dosage, Completely out of the blue, I learned on Friday that Pearsonified was nominated for a 2007 Bloggy Award. Specifically, I'm a finalist in the "Best Designed Weblog" category, which is pretty cool considering my name is out there alongside Veerle Pieters and Khoi Vinh, clomid On Line, two people whose work I've referenced and linked up in the past. I don't know how I got nominated or who was responsible, Aldactone Dosage, but to whoever had a hand in things — thank you!

Now, head on over to the Bloggy Awards site and give me a vote, eh. And while you're there, Discount geodon Online, vote for my dawg Brian of Copyblogger, who was nominated for the "Best Web Development Weblog." Heck, No Prescription paxil, Copyblogger's tips have helped to make this site successful over the past year, and if it weren't for his development ideas, I probably wouldn't have gotten nominated at all. Now how's that for a circuitous bit of back scratching.

Your site’s way, way up there, but I still voted for Veerle just because she deals with so much visual content so effectively.

Fair enough, but you didn’t follow my instructions. I specifically told you to go and vote for me :)

Don’t worry man… *I* voted for you.

Now, if I can only figure out the Krug method to get 9 more shots, you should be in…

It’s cake vote behind a proxy with an email dumper.

mycoolemail+gopearson@gmail.com
mycoolemail+deucerocks@gmail.com

Any myriad of combinations and hiding behind a proxy will do just fine.

You deserve extra “helpful and creative dude” kudos for all the work you put into the wordpress goodness that you share with those of us less fortunate. Well done!

Aaron Bobrink January 28, 2007 at 12:27 pm

You got my vote. Although Veerle does have a pretty blog, yours is superior in my opinion. It’s much cleaner and I like clean stuff.

Good luck!

Chris P. January 28, 2007 at 1:09 pm

Leonard, Leah, and Aaron — Thanks guys! Between Veerle and Khoi, I should probably be happy with a third place finish.

Either way, when I tried to vote, I never actually received the confirmation email, and I spoke with a friend of mine who experienced the same issue.

Anyone else having the same problem?

Reply

Aaron Bobrink January 28, 2007 at 1:35 pm

Actually, yeah. I have that exact same problem. I voted about three hours ago and never got my email.

Mike January 28, 2007 at 2:33 pm

Well I nominated you but I get the feeling that it probably took more than just the one nomination to get to this stage! Anyway, whatever, congrats on getting to the finals – will be sure to vote for both you and Brian.

Cheers,

Mike

Congrats on the nomination, Chris – you got my vote. Hey, I’ve been searching for your contact info on your site and gave up and decided to de-lurk myself instead :) If you could drop me an email, I have a quick question regarding a project I’m currently working on, and your Cutline theme.

Cheers!

Lisa, Peter — Thanks a million!

I just noticed the new design over at the Blog Studio, and I really dig the gratuitous use of Avenir. Classy indeed!

Hey Chris, you definitely get my vote. I never get tired of your site no matter how many times I visit, it’s always interesting and ‘fresh’.

Secondly, thanks for all your great work and content (incl. Cutline and Tubetorial), its helped me in a big way!

JasonM January 29, 2007 at 2:37 am

Deinfitely got my vote too.

Peter Flaschner January 29, 2007 at 3:37 am

Thanks Chris. I’m a sucker for Avenir. I’m a fan of most of Frutiger’s work, and think Avenir is his masterpiece (so far…)

Reply

Chris P. January 29, 2007 at 4:00 am

I’ll second that, although I’m currently involved with Avenir’s second cousin, Gotham. Come to think of it, I’ve never bothered to ask Avenir how she felt about that…

You know what? I like Gotham so much that I really don’t even care. :)

Roberta January 29, 2007 at 4:49 am

This is a terrific design. Are there tutorials somewhere to shoe how to customize wordpress like this?

I am just starting out with WP and want to do it right.

Thanks

Don’t know if this cat answers comments…I had a question about a week ago. Guess not.

Looks aren’t everything.

Nomad — I’d have to write a book to do the topic justice. My WordPress themes are 100% customized from the back-end XHTML and use of WordPress template tags through the CSS that styles it.

I originally learned WordPress by slogging through existing themes and then modifying the code to my liking. After a while, I knew enough to start out on my own, and that’s when I created Cutline, this version of Pearsonified, and Tubetorial.

At this point, I think Cutline is a pretty good starting point for anyone attempting to learn WordPress because it’s a bare-bones template that doesn’t involve any hocus-pocus JavaScript or even special PHP queries to produce output. It’s just template tags, XHTML, and CSS—a pretty pure learning environment.

Dave Butler May 10, 2007 at 5:47 pm

Note to nomad, Chris P is the man when it comes to comments. When he ran the show at Cutline that’s what made the whole thing great. He commented all the time helping people.

Chris what happened with the contest.

Also whats the Chris master plan post Cutline purchase. Did you sign a non-compete in the blog design field???

digitalnomad May 10, 2007 at 7:35 pm

Thanks for the answer man…did not know you sold this.

Chris P. May 11, 2007 at 8:36 am

Dave — I did not win the Bloggy, and I’m not sure where I finished among the other participants. Gizmodo won, and while the design is reasonably intelligent (and utilizes the Gotham font, which is big ups in my book), I think it’s kind of a drag that a site using the Gawker Media template won the award…

Personally, I would have preferred to see a completely unique site like Veerle’s blog or Subtraction win, but that’s just me. Honestly, I was really surprised that Gizmodo won.

And regarding a non-compete… no way I would do that! I’m kind of attached to this space, no?
