gold standard
Sticks is the current featured blog on the St. Pete Times blog portal. The description includes some very flattering words (which I captured forever):
Sticks of Fire: The gold standard among Tampa Bay blogs. Named by tbt* as one of a handful of must-read blogs for the bay area.
We really like being called “the gold standard.” Thanks for the props, guys!

The respect is well-deserved. You’ve really put your heart and soul into this site, and put together a fantastic group of bloggers who offer really terrific insight into this community.
It also kind of helps that you started around the time I moved here, and so Sticks has been a filter through which I’ve come to know my new hometown … or home area, I guess, seeing as I live in Countryside now

When my 3Day site was featured there, they called it “smartly designed”. I love those guys!
I’ve got two blogs focusing on Tampa and Florida - any interest in a link exchange?

Congrats, Tommy! You deserve it! Thanks for letting this little cubic zirconia bask in your golden glow (although I think I might be more of a Scandanavian snowball ring).
p.s. SoF is also helping to reunite people. Last week a former coworker who moved away from the TB area four years ago contacted me. He’s now back in Tampa and saw a post of mine on SoF and tracked me down. It’s a Sticks of Fire world…
