Let me introduce the bloggers
who have earned this official badge of achievement,

I invite them to take a badge home to display on their blogs.

They take the conversation to their readers,
contribute great ideas, challenge us, make us better, and make our businesses stronger.

I thank all of our SOBs for thinking what we say is worth passing on.
Good conversation shared can only improve the blogging community.

Should anyone question this SOB button’s validity, send him or her to me. Thie award carries a “Liz said so” guarantee, is endorsed by Kings of the Hemispheres, Martin and Michael, and is backed by my brothers, Angelo and Pasquale.

   What an honor…I’m in with the cool kids now for sure!! Thanks for the MAJOR shout-out. It’s good to be in such inspired company.

   I’ll do my best to keep posting SOB worthy content. And thanks for providing such a cool forum here with your blog.

   Now if I can only make it to an open comment nite…I missed the margaritas last week!!

   Stay passionate,
   Kam

   Hi Liz,
   A writer should be able to come up with something better than “wow”, “hot damn” and “thank you!”. I didn’t, though.

   If I may borrow from Kammie, it’s truly an honor. I’ll do my best to live up to it.

   Thanks so much,
   Carolyn

   Happy Birthday to SOB!! :D You’re a year old today and as fresh and eager looking as you were on Day 1.

   Congrats to the lucky ones chosen for such a special occasion. I have to say you all seem to have excellent blog titles and Liz chose some truly good looking images for your pictures. Stylish and snazzy! Some might even say that about Liz ;)

   Oh TechZ!
   We end the first year and next week is the anniversary the very first SOBs — cool. Can’t believe I started my first week. I called them reader evangelists for 2-3 weeks I think.

   I also think we might have about 500. I’ve cleared the list of those that are no longer blogging.

    Wow Liz,
    I just saw your incoming link when I went to write a blog post. Thank you so much for the honor!! I’m thrilled!!

    I was just thinking last night about how much I enjoyed your blog and I needed to read what I’ve missed on it.

    I’ve been slammed with new books to edit and new clients, not to mention my own new one, Entrepreneurial Freedom.

    Thanks again for the honor and the great blog!
