The Best of Blogs

Best Of The Best Of Blogs: Revisiting 2006’s Parenting Winner!!

Since the BoB’s are going into their third year, we thought we’d mix things up a bit by paying a visit to some of our past winners and seeing what they have been up to. Once a week we will be spotlighting past winners and hopefully giving this year’s crop of nominees a glimpse of how the awards can increase a site’s popularity.

Our first Best Of The Best is devoted to last year’s Best Parenting Blog winner IThinkThisWorldIsPerfect . The married father of two daughters, Jim is on a mission to “keep track and make sense of the ups-and-downs and side-to-sides of parenting in the 21^st Century” Jim can be found regularly posting about everything from his favorite recipes to the addition of a new furry friend to what life is like when you live in a house full of females. With a great mix of photography, humor, and family fun IThinkThisWorldIsPerfect is the perfect addition to your feed reader.

As for how the BoB’s have affected his site, Jim recently posted:

“About a year ago, at a time when this blog was struggling for relevance and reach in an uncertain world, we decided to run the gauntlet that is The Best of Blogs, and happily emerged on the other side with a victory in the Best Parenting Blog category. We were gratified to find an online sandbox where Dooce, Amalah and Dad Gone Mad were banned – by virtue of their insane traffic – and winning made us feel for the first time in our lives like Michael Dukakis riding around in that tank.The Best of Blogs is a great opportunity for the little-known blogger to get some visibility, recognition, and – if victorious – a cool new button for their template. So if your readership is more or less confined to relatives, friends and people who stumble upon your site as a result of stringing together random (and possibly inappropriate) search terms, fire it up and get yourself in the game we like to call The Best of Blogs!”

Thanks for the kind words Jim and for those of you who haven’t paid him a visit yet, do yourself a favor and see why IThinkThisWorldIsPerfect is one of the Best Of The Best of Blogs.
