This is a second call for suggestions about what we recognize, about what we value. My own thoughts are that Series and Writing are wicked important, as blogging is about sequences of writings, as are Expert and Single Issue, as this is more than just uninformed "news" and lack of focus.

I have never been happy with the "Best Blog" thing, as it tends to be a largest posse question, both PRO and AM.

Then there is humor, and in the real world XKCD rulez (Dimensional Analysis had me laughing till I cried, on each panel!). However, I'm informed that taste varies and not everyone thinks that pi is a punchline that gives for days on end, or that of course better milage in a Prius means Blighty drifts out into the waves. Why escapes me.

The counter to the biggest posse problem are the blogs that are about place, about localities. I've a fondness for these too.
