Well, some time ago, it crash landed in the ocean, killing all aboard. However, we've recovered the black box, and found the following message from the KotB host, Nick Queen:

Wow, some of you may have forgot all about this by now, but I did not. I do want to finalize the final contest. Marty McKeever of Vigilance Matters was the tie-breaker, and voted to give the final title to News from the Great Beyond, who from hereforth shall be the only ever Queen
of the Blogs.

As host, and creator I have decided to not give Walloworld a loss, and make him the longest reigning king, and thenceforth the King of the Blogs. Therefore the final result is split, and both walk away as winners, but News from the Great Beyond has the final and last victory. Judges, as a last act please post this result.

So the cruel and tyrannical King Bill of Walloworld retains his throne, after a fashion, as his subjects across the blogosphere weep in anguish.

However, a beacon of hope still shines, as the goodness of Queen Songstress of News From the Great Beyond will seek to spread peace, justice and happiness (and possibly a few naughty fantasies involving scepters and ermine robes) throughout the less corrupted parts of the realm.

As for the future, a message in a bottle recently washed up on shore, bearing Nick's signature:

[...] what if we revive the idea of King of the Blog as a sort-of Blog Review, and have a ranking system, and so forth along with it. Top tier blogs would receive special recognition, and we would end up with some sort of outlet for all these entries I continue to receive. Whatcha think?

I'm intrigued, and I'd love the chance to keep acting like I know what the hell I'm talking about when it comes to blog style & design. Anybody out there interested in having there blogging design & writing skills criticized?
