Best of luck to all the nominees and maybe I’ll see you on the night – if not I’m sure someone from the Blacknight crew will be in attendance….
The person who deserves all the credit, however, is Mr Mulley himself. I honestly don’t know how he finds the time or the energy to get involved with so many things!
On a slight aside, Eoghan did an interesting analysis of the slightly longer list of nominees comparing page “weight”. It makes for interesting reading, especially if you’re in a country with not so impressive broadband coverage (ie. Ireland – in case that was too subtle!).
Of course the problem is trying to strike the balance.
Images and other multimedia can brighten up a site (or blog) quite a bit.
I’ve been using images in my posts here more and more over the last year or so and the company blog gets an interesting (IMHO) variety of stock photos added to most of the posts. The problem is when the extras start to detract from the user experience. Javascript maybe enabled by most people, but do you have to have THAT much scripting to render a simple page with a bit of text? Probably not…
I got shortlisted too for best designed blog. Don’t think I’ll get it – actually think themenace.com will get it (and I hope he does as I it’s a cool site). I added my name today for the event so if you do make it, I’ll get ya a few pints back for your generosity last Saturday! Well done and best of luck!
I got shortlisted as well. I didn’t expected to be nominated in any of the categories this year.
and I will probably be there! 🙂
