It is down at the very bottom, on the left (which by no means should be taken as an indication of its importance.)  You will see a badge there and it says <a href=\"http:\/\/www.successful-blog.com\/1\/thqnks-to-week-53-sobs\/\">S.O.B.<\/a> and it comes from my friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.successful-blog.com\/aboutme-liz-strauss\/\">Liz Strauss<\/a> at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.successful-blog.com\/\">Successful ^and Outstanding Bloggers<\/a>.  We wear it proudly. <\/p>\n<p>Lest you think we are taking ourselves too seriously here and puffing ourselves up, the reason that I&#8217;m posting the story of this award of distinction is to give credit where credit is due.  You see, we haven&#8217;t really done much of anything to deserve this honor.  It is Liz and her giving spirit that deserves the credit.  The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.successful-blog.com\/301-what-is-an-sob\/\">SOB award<\/a> is something that she invented, which is not surprising given the incredible level of talent that she possesses.  [You can read all about the award on her site by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.successful-blog.com\/301-what-is-an-sob\/\">here<\/a>]  She is a wonderfully creative writer and a true contributor to everything good about blogging.  She has truly inspired me.  It was through her and her network of friends that my <a href=\"https:\/\/cecsearch.com\/WordPress\/2006\/10\/26\/breast-cancer-public-service-announcement\/\">Breast Cancer public service campaign<\/a> become even moderately successful and she and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.playlibrary.com\/\">Hsien Hsien Lei<\/a> teamed up to make sure that I could end my <a href=\"https:\/\/cecsearch.com\/WordPress\/2006\/10\/31\/boycott-over-thanks-to-everyone-the-faces-of-caring\/\">blog strike<\/a>.  If you would like to learn more about Liz, read a great and informative blog, head over to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.successful-blog.com\/\">Successful Blog dot com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>If you want to see some truly inspired and creative writing, visit her <a href=\"http:\/\/lettingmebe.blogspot.com\/\">personal blog<\/a>.
