That is a good thing since my web hosting company has complained about the bandwidth for all my banners from previous year wins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Normally each year I would run attack ads against those competing against me in this category, but this year I didn&#8217;t and you can see what happened.  Attack ads work so next year I will be ready. In fact I am going to start by looking more closely at Thomas Peters.  Notice how he puts &#8220;American&#8221; first instead of &#8220;Papist&#8221; showing his priorities.  A real Catholic would put Papist first such as &#8220;Papist American.&#8221; And what is up with his motto &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.americanpapist.com\/\">American Papist: Not Your Average Catholic!<\/a>&#8221; Pretty prideful I would think.  Not exactly showing the humility of a true Catholic.  So remember Thomas I am keeping at eye out on you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">A special congratulations to Jennifer at &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.conversiondiary.com\/\">Conversion Diary &#8211; The Diary of a Former Atheist<\/a>&#8221; who won Best Blog by a Women. I have read her blog from before she became Catholic and she is certainly one of the best blog writers.  Though in St. Blogs there is a wealth of excellent women bloggers.  Best new blog went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithandfamilylive.com\/blog\/\">Faith &#038; Family<\/a> which is contributed to by Daniel Bean and a solid team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">So look <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catholicnewmediaawards.com\/ballot_results\" target=\"_blank\" >over the list of blogs and podcasts<\/a> that made the top 5 in voting.  I can certainly recommend every single blog, site, podcast listed (except that Thomas Peters guy I am keeping my eye on).<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Thanks once again to Josh LeBlanc and the other people who make these awards possible in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been remiss in not thanking those who voted for me in this years Catholic New Media Awards.
