For the Love of Blogs

By July 6, 2009

In the hallowed and oft-visited bloggernacle, not all blogs are equal, or so Mormon Matters’ Niblet Nominations 2008 tell us.

  3. Jared T., I nominated your coverage of the 30th anniversary commemoration for best current events post. I really appreciate all your efforts to transcribe important happenings for those of us not able to be there.

    But alas, I also nominated the apparently unworthy Myregisblog.com for “all the fun and laughs” or something silly like that.

  4. No need to confess past sins, Hunter 🙂

    I appreciate your nomination and I’m sure I’d speak for my cobloggers in saying that we appreciate your readership and support.
