Still a little hung over form the high of being named Tampa Bay’s Best Left Winger, BlogWood feels slightly abashed at having overlooked the other Tampa area sites that are getting lots of attention right now.
Sticks of Fire is the Weekly Planet’s pick as the area’s Best Web Site and is also prominently mentioned in a TBT piece on local bloggers along with fellow Planet honoree Midnight Culmination (Reader’s pick for Best Blog). The Planet’s staff pick for Best Blog is Tampa Rail.
The TBT piece also profiles several other local sites: St. Petersblog, DRays Bay, Tampa Film Fan, Seminole Heights, and sarahintampa.
Bloggers around here are understandably all atwitter, and congratulations go out to all.
You deserve the recognition. In a late-night web meandering, I found your coverage of the Centro Ybor debacle last year. A huge strip mall (1.15 million square feet of retail space) that Mel Sembler wants to dump onto an orange grove down the street from my home has me up at night. While this information doesn’t help me sleep any better, it was much appreciated regardless.
Anyway, congratulations.
Thanks for the mention Blog, and I’m glad your content put you on the map as well. It’s been a great week for us. I hope the local mainstream remembers us NEXT week.
