Announcing the winners of the Clever Blogging T-Shirt contest

With all the awesome slogans that were submitted, we had a tough time narrowing them down to just 7 winners (plus the peoples’ choice “Most Creative” winner). We considered, contemplated, and deliberated, and finally used our super-secret algorithm to select the very best (okay, not really; we took a vote).

Without further ado, here are the winners:

  • First prize: “Bloggers do it for the comments.” by Patrick Lee (we also loved “I blog, therefore I am… desperate for comments!” but can’t have Patrick looking like a prize-hog  ).
    Patrick will receive his choice of $100 USD cash or a year’s hosting at MediaLayer (the AppLayer DX plan) and a two-year domain name registration. (Provided by Blogging Expertise.)
  • Second prize: “My blog beat up your brochure.” by Justin Foster.
    Justin will receive one copy each of the books Blog Design SolutionsTextpattern Solutions, and Podcast Solutions, generously donated by friends of ED.
  • Third prize: “Technorati Hottie” by Jade Nirvana Ingmire.
    Jade will receive a $60 ThinkGeek gift certificate. (Provided by ThinkGeek.)
  • Fourth prize: “RSS feeds. I am hungry.” by K-IntheHouse (we also loved “Read blogs. Save trees.“).
    K-IntheHouse will receive a $40 gift certificate for ThinkGeek. (Provided by ThinkGeek.)
