Once again, Blogger has been voted the best free blogging host in the Blogger's Choice Awards for 2007! Wordpress.com came a close second with LiveJournal grabbing third place.
It seemed inevitable to me that Blogger would be voted best in this category, though I was surprised to see such a small margin (898 to 849 votes) between Blogger and Wordpress.com hosting...
The "Best blog about Blogging" was of course dominated by Problogger (no surprises there then!), though second prize was awarded to Blogging Basics 101, a newcomer in this field and a very informative blog indeed! Lorelle on Wordpress came third in this category; she's been blogging about Wordpress forever, so if you're interested in Wordpress you'll probably want to check her out.
You can read the full list of winners over on the Blogger's Choice Awards Winners List which includes a wide range of categories from "Best Animal Blog" through to "Worst Blog of All Time" and everything between. Check it out, there are some real gems to discover!
Voting is already open for the Blogger's Choice Awards of 2008, so why not sign up and vote for your favorite blogs for next year's awards?

I checked out some of the winners a few weeks ago. You're right, some are not surprising. However, I did not know that Blogger won an award. That's great! BloggerBuster should have been in there somewhere. This blog is top notch.
Amanda, how to put a logo in my blog. I have seen peoples put logo as "this site is nominated for.." can i do that too?
@Madlab Post: thank you for your kind comments! Blogger Buster wasn't around for very long before the voting really came into effect, so I wasn't nominated this time.
I was surprised that there are few Blogger powered blogs in the winners list though. Especially as Blogger seems more of a community based system that other blogging platforms.
@Iclfan: If your site is nominated for an award (or receives an award from another blogger), then yes you can easily add the logo to your site. Most blog awards sites would provide the logo code for you which you could paste into an HTML/Javascript widget in your blog.
