You're most welcome. You guys have a unique design that deserves recognition. Did you design it yourselves?

(BTW, it's Solomonia, not Solomia -- although I like that misspelling. I have one of the most frequently misspelled blog names on the internet :)

Whoops! Duly noted and edited!

Thanks for the kind comments. Yes, we did do the site design ourselves, in our spare time. There are a lot of things I would like to improve upon but just haven't had the time to do so. Maybe when WP 2.0 comes out I might have to update the site... Already getting ideas... ;)

Even better that you did it yourselves! I think they should encourage nominations for blogs designed by the blogger. Anyone can pay a pro to design a cool site, but doing your own is different.

I have nothing to do with design (except "this,":http://www.cominganarchy.com/anatolia which is all me), and I hope they take into account that this wholly unique wordpress theme was DESIGNED FROM SCRATCH by Sir Francis Younghusband himself! No kubrick ripoffs here, this thing was made up by my main man himself! And doesn't the theme do great things for us? "Victorian Pagan"! God I love it.

Congratulations and good luck!
While wining for design would be OK, I'd like to see you win on content, since the stuff you discuss here deserves much more coverage. Regardless of my specific disagreement with specific points you're trying to make, Coming Anarchy is a window onto a world that rarely does blogs... anyway, good luck!

Due to the time zone difference, I can now only repeat what Curzon said. ComingAnarchy is not nominated for Best Design, YOUNGHUSBAND IS!

This is all his genius, not ours!
