And not crying! This blog landed in fourth place in the Weblog Awards of 2005 under the category of Best of the Top 251 - 500 Blogs! In front of me are Austin Bay (#3), Michael Berube Online (#2) and Sadly No (#1).
Thanks to all who voted for me and even to those who didn't vote, but read; I feel fortunate to have finished so highly. I'll try to do better next time. Additionally, I need to get to reading these higher finishing blogs--not just to learn how to finish higher, but to add new perspectives. I have Austin Bay linked but I've never read the others. They will be added to my blogroll, politics notwithstanding.
