I don't know how I missed this post by 30 days! :) I'd be happy to let my reviewers loose on "Citizen of the Month," but I've been real wary of doing that to people I consider "Internet friends." I'm a long-time reader here and they can be pretty rough sometimes. I think your site would find a spot near the top, though, so I wouldn't be too worried. I'd be happy to put the blogs you suggested on my review list too. I just finished my last list and will get busy on a new one in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the recommendations. Neil!

Yes, yes, I read some POPULAR and TOP TEN blogs because they're pretty funny and they have a niche, but for people like Neil and the thousands of other like him who have no niche, we need a new category in which to hand out prizes. Something like" people who blog becuase they love it and have no other reason to do this thing that takes up so much of their time on a daily basis but can't stop themselves"? Not really very acronym-able...as soon as I come up with something I shall start giving out the awards. Me first, of course.

I am glad she gets recognized for her talent. You are every bit on my 'to read' list when I get the time however. I am not sure what brings me back every time...you or your penis' blogging though...it's a tossup. Yeah, Heather is pretty talented. I am glad she gets recognized for her talent.

But then as time went by and I read other blogs I started to realize that she's kind of boring. Nothing against her, I mean there are a ton of boring blogs but she's so popular and I guess I don't really get it. But that's just my opinion. By the way, in reference to your other post above this one, I hate emoticons. I can't believe I even wrote that word I hate them so much. I don't like abbreviations much at all. Also, one more thing, I'd never even heard of "mommyblogs" when I started mine. I guess I'm in that catagory but I hate that too. I should never have put the word baby in my blog title because now I'm pidgeon holed and I talk about so much more! Plus, all the swearing!! I thought dooce was amusing when I first read her.

Go Fug YOurself? Amusing, often cleverly written--but really, how many ways can you say "I hate leggings" or "This outfit sucks." Gets old. I just like to look at the pictures!

He is also very popular. Much more popular than I am. Not that I mind sending traffic his way. He deserves it. He is #1!! But like, I wouldn't want you to go over there every day and forget about this blog. I mean just because he is funny doesn't necessarily mean he is a nice person. Well, maybe I shouldn't be saying this, but remember when Mel Gibson said all those racist things in Malibu. Well, I'm not saying that Dave agrees with most of those statements, but hey, he is amusing -- if you want to check out his site once or twice. It is YOUR moral compass...
