It was a pleasant surprise, and honour, to read TypePad's monthly newsletter and find I was the featured blogger!
I didn't know until another TypePad'er at work told me this morning. I'd had a late night, actually early morning, launching the "new look" * and skipped checking my home email before heading to work.
I'm thankful it was after "the New Zealand Internet Blackout protest". Visitors would have wondered what was going on? Yesterday it was a featured blog with no content!
If you are new, welcome! If you're a regular, thanks for the support. It's not bloggers who make blogs, it's the people who read them.
* Thats why the banner seen in the newsletter, first posted in 2006, has changed on the site.
