AAFL receives VegNews 2008 VegBloggy award
Submitted by An Animal-Friendly Life
So… yeah. I’m as surprised as you.
Among the bloggers highlighted for the first annual VegBloggy Awards, VegNews decided to include An Animal-Friendly Life. I’m not sure how they categorized the site yet, or anything else they wrote about AAFL, but fellow winner SuperVegan got the scoop on theirs (”The Vegan Daily Show,” in case you were wondering), as well as learning who the other recipients are. I know a bunch of these folks, and they deserve to be recognized for their contributions to the vegan blogosphere. Knowing how hard it is to keep up a blog that’s worth coming back to, I have a deep appreciation for how they manage to keep their content fresh and compelling.
I don’t know where every last one of the VegBloggy recipients lives but, in addition to me, the talents behind The Conscious Kitchen, Vegan Yum Yum, and Vegan Man also made the list, giving Boston’s vegan bloggers 4 out of the 21 total awards. With this much vegan culinary talent at our disposal, I’d really like to see another great vegan restaurant open up around here soon, hint-hint!
All the blogs are being featured in VegNews’ July/August issue, which is on its way to subscribers now and will hit newsstands July 1st. Thank you to VegNews for including AAFL (and The Abolitionist Approach, really), and for bringing more awareness to my writing.
If you are a VegNews reader visiting AAFL for the first time, welcome. I hope you’ll be a frequent guest. I tend to publish about once every week or so lately, but sometimes I get a little tied up working on my other projects, like the Boston Vegan Association and I’m Vegan. Also, ever since Taste Better! went on hiatus a couple of months ago, taking my monthly column with it, I’ve shifted into writing longer, somewhat more developed pieces, and those take more time to write. I’ll try to keep the Thoughts for the Day and Vegan: It’s What’s For Dinner posts coming to keep things lively.
The best way to be notified of new posts is to subscribe to the RSS feed over in the sidebar using the Feedblitz mail option or the “RSS FEED” button. While you’re at it, take a look around. You may notice a navigation bar at the top of the page. I haven’t podcasted in a long time, but I left the link there in case I one day revive the show or do a decide to do a one-off. As with the main blog, time is always an issue. Another way to entertain yourself between posts is to check out the links menu, which is relatively up-to-date. I’ve gathered together letters to the editor I’ve had published, other worthwhile blogs, vegan artists, recommended cookbooks, and much more.
All the other buttons are in working order, too, but do note that the links and about “buttons” are actually menus. Just hover your cursor over the menu you want to view, and it will automatically pop up. If no menu pops up, you’re probably looking at a button. Go ahead and click! I hope you enjoy your stay.
I like to hear from you. Comment below or email me.
