I’m excited to announce that at the recent 2009 Lammy Awards over at The Large Association of Movie Blogs (LAMB), Cut Print Review walked away clutching the Best Use of Widgetology Award!
What’s ‘Widgetology’ you ask? Well, that would be the art of designing widgets (the navigation blocks on the right hand side of the website) so that they are intuitive, comprehensive and stylish! It sounds trivial, but the importance of having an easily navigated website should not be underestimated, which is why I am greatly humbled by the award. It was just as gratifying to be runner-up in the Best Blog Design category, which was deservingly won by Stacia of She Blogged By Night - Congrats Stacia! Thank you dearly to all the LAMB’s who voted for this site, to the honourable competition and to everyone who has helped Cut Print Review grow since the site opened its doors last September.
Most of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the wondrous Dylan (aka Fletch) of Blog Cabins. He is the brains behind The LAMB; a fantastic association that connects more than 300 movie bloggers from all around the globe. Few have the generosity and drive to devote so much time to such a excellent initiative, whilst still managing to separately uphold a fantastic film blog. If you have a film blog and are looking to get some recognition, you’d be crazy to not join the LAMB. It’s simple, it’s free and it’s rewarding!
