Do you like reading the Woodworker’s Journal blog?
Silly question, isn’t it — since you’re right here reading it.
If, as we hope, it’s among your favorites, you might be interested in a contest going on over at another blog. Gladiator Garageworks is running the “What’s Your Favorite Blog” comment contest through this week (ends Sunday, October 31).
Their blog editors have picked their top 15 favorite blogs — Woodworker’s Journal among them. (Aw, shucks. We’re flattered.)
To enter the contest, you post a link to your favorite blog, or favorite blog post, that fits their criteria, and say why it’s your favorite. (“Woodworker’s Journal blog is the best ever because the editors are wonderful, stupendous, incredibly talented and handsome people who should all be paid at least a million dollars annually” is merely a hypothetical example.*) For entering, you get a shot at being one of five winners of a $10 Amazon.com gift certificate.

This time of year is notoriously busy — for reasons that can be both sound and silly. The hubbub that surrounds our work and family life can sometimes become overwhelming, and it is easy to let an important obligation slide by. But I would be remiss if I failed to take just a few moments to offer thanks to you, our readers, for your support over the past year. Consider this salutation of goodwill as coming not just from me, but indeed the entire Woodworker’s Journal staff. It is not lost on us that your support is the reason why we are among the most fortunate of folks — not only do we have a job (no small thing in this economy), but we have some of the best jobs around — putting out a woodworking magazine, eZine and website. Speaking personally, there is nothing I can think of that would be more satisfying than what I do every day. And the attention of those I call the Journal’s faithful is the key to all that.
Whether you’re revved up for the festivities to come over the next few days, or if you’re feeling the need for a little holiday “lift” right about now, the folks at Ryobi have a clever video card to share with all of us.
