Thanks Michele, but I don’t know about a third… I think someone named Deb may take issue with that.
Thanks Deb. :)

Congrats Brian. Your blog has helped me immensely in copywriting.
I check your site many times a day and you are definitely #1 on my list of blogs, and I don’t see that changing. Good luck this upcoming year and keep up the amazing articles.
I also want to say thanks to those who write guest articles on Copyblogger.
As Cookie Monster would say, Me Love Copyblogger!

I’m SO PROUD of Lorna & Tamara, as their blog is not even three months old - they even sent me an email that said something like “we’re on a list with Brian Clark”!!
Congrats on your #1 spot - a no-brainer. :D

Congratulations Brian,
A well deserved spot I must add - your content is not only unique but also inspiring. I think it is specifically useful not for the writers, who already know how to do it :) but for the technical type bloggers. We straggle the most and need biggest help :)

#26 lornadoone → 12.14.07 at 4:07 pm
Winning this award was so gratifying for us at Freelance Parent, that I just smile every time I think about it. Only slightly less exciting was when my husband brought home a copy of the list. He had printed it out to show all the other IT geeks at work that his wife’s blog made it on the same list as Copyblogger.
Congratulations!
