Shameless Self Promotion: Legends Receives Blog of the Day Honor

Each day, Six Apart selects one blog to promote as featured blog of the day.  Last Sunday, Legends received this honor.  Here’s what Six Apart had to say about our blog: “An amazing Slice-of-Life blog that chronicles the tapestry of personalities at the Chelsea .” They also reprinted a comment from one of our readers: “ This really is the most consistently fascinating blog on the internet…”

Six Apart, for those of you who don’t know, is a company that provides blogging software and other services to thousands of blogs.  They are, in other words, that rarest of creatures: a web 2.0 company that is actually making money.  The software we use to maintain Legends is called Typepad.  It’s easy to use and fairly reliable.  Although Six Apart has had a couple of server failures during the course of the year—and hey, shit happens--they compensated customers by giving them a free month of service.  Also impressive is their ability to respond quickly to questions such as, “How can I add video to my blog?”

In recognition of being selected as featured blog of the day, Six Apart sent us a couple of tee-shirts that say “Typepad loves me.”  We would have preferred  “Blog of the Day” (or better yet, “Blog of the Century”) but it’s still nice to get something.  So, thanks, Six Apart.
