  • A LAMMYS Clarification

    A LAMMYS Clarification

    I’ve seen in a few peoples’ LAMMY votes comments something about having to rush before the deadline and/or not being able to fully visit/judge the sites due to the deadline.

    I’m not sure where the idea is coming from, but the deadline is not until next Monday, May 5th. So please, take your time – you’ve got a week!…

    Last call for Chops

    If you don’t know how this works, read prior LAMB Chops posts by clicking the “Chops” button on the sidebar.

    Email me up to one post from your site or as many posts as you’d like from other sites from the week of April 20-26. I will then use my editorial powers to pick the top ones – could be 5, could be 10 – I might settle on a given number once I see how many submissions I’m getting weekly....

  • Who will take it?

    Who will take it?

    It’s a tight race for Best Blog, with three or four horses running pretty close and 16 votes now in. Let’s get that number up to at least 25 by the end of the weekend. If you haven’t voted, what are you waiting for (besides having the time to inspect 75+ sites)?…

    The competition is heating up…

    I should have waited for Mrs. Fletch’s help on this, but she’s busy working. As such, I used the twin designing powerhouses of PowerPoint and Paint to make this masterpiece. Maybe she’ll make another later…

    In the meantime, if you want to pimp your site and make one of these, go for it and I’ll put it up (thanks to Mikey of Spaghetti Sauce and Sweet Peas for the inspiration). Let’s have some...

  • It’s time for the 2008 LAMMYS!

    It’s time for the 2008 LAMMYS!

    Judge your peers! Brag about your standing within the LAMB community! Win fabulous prizes! If the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences can recognize its own every year, so can the LAMB.

    Here we are nearly six months and more than 75 LAMBs into this little project, and it appears to be a hit. Mrs. Fletch and I were discussing potential future LAMB events one day (as we do quite a bit) and she came up with the idea of...

  • Regurgitating some LAMB Chops

    Regurgitating some LAMB Chops

    There’s a process I go through when I post every new LAMB site. First, I publish the profile post itself. Then, I go in and edit the LAMB scroll box to include the new site, followed by shooting off an email to the author to let them know that their profile has been posted. Finally, I’ll go into my Google Reader and add a subscription to the new site. (On occasion, I’ll go in and add a bunch of new sites to “the...

    Introducing the LAMB Leaderboard

    The LAMB Leaderboard is a way for the LAMB to scratch the backs of the sites that have scratched the LAMB’s back – in other words, it’s a ranking of the top 20 sites that are sending visitors to the LAMB. The leaderboard is updated monthly, typically within the first few days of the new month.

    As you no doubt noticed, there is an image located next to each site name. The way this will work is easy: if a LAMB has sent...
