[1]I’d just like to take a moment to say “thanks!” to all who have voted for this blog so far in the “Best Large Blog” category [1]. It’s an uphill battle, as we’ve got some stiff competition (there are other bloggers in that category who I really dig!), but there’s still plenty of time left, so make sure not to forget to vote once every 24 hours. It’s all in good fun, but there’s a competitive streak in all of us bloggers that spurs us on to want to win 
Remember, voting ends on January 13th at 5 pm ET, so make sure you get in all the votes you can before then (or as the saying goes, vote often! 
). They’re going to be rolling out the embeddable links soon, and I will post that for you on the right side column when it becomes available.
I’ve got some endorsements to announce as well – if you don’t see a category here that is listed at the main weblog awards poll links page [2] that means I either didn’t care for the category or didn’t know enough about the category and/or those nominated to cast a vote. Here goes:
