Battle of the Blogs

Ok.. how much of a dork am I. I’ve entered my blog in a competition against other blogs. Why would I do this, you may ask. Well, please refer to the first sentence. Its always interesting to see what people think of your work as compared to others, it gives you a sense of accomplishment, or in some cases, failure.

I managed to win my first battle and then entered another. We’ll see if I can keep my streak alive. If you want to vote for me, head over to BlogExplosion and sign up, then go to the Battle of the Blogs page and vote.
