Normally I wouldn't care, wouldn't write about a silly thing like this. I know many take these very seriously in this community, but I just see it as a fun little thing. Now I'm not saying it's bad, or wrong to see it as serious, but the bloggies aren't that special.

Of course, something would have to go and change my mind. Something that changes my mind strongly enough that it even compels me to write this post at all. Because I wasn't going to, really. Blog for America won best new weblog. This is the part where I gloat. I build Blog for America. I put the thing together. Now, I had a bit of help designing it, and my work has been lightly modified since, but I build the thing. And that's something I'm very, very proud of. Because now my work has won an award. Good for me!

Okay, I'm done boasting now.
