Greetings, Sticks readers! It’s Brett from TampaBLAB here with a new feature, chock full of hot local blog action! We hope to do this on a weekly basis and include some standard features and some rotating tidbits of interesting stuff. Regardless if that stuff gets done, there will always be a endless stream of gratuitous plugs for Tampa’s best local blog aggregator. Mmmm…plugs.
And with that… Here is some of what you were reading about this past week:

• sarahintampa received her copy of The PostSecret Book and tells us she can’t put it down.
• bitch | lab’s son think’s he’ll get lucky.
• TaxiTim chimes in on the boot camp tragedy.
• Kathy Sterling reminds us why weddings are so much fun.
• Tampa radio legend Bob Lassiter bids his blog readers a (perhaps temporary) adieu.

And that reminds me: If you have a blog about Tampa Bay, or you blog and live in Tampa Bay, and you’re not signed up with TampaBLAB…why the hell not? Join us today!

Today’s blab is brought to you by TampaBLAB, your home page for all of Tampa’s blogs.

Your how-many-people-does-Tommy-have-working-for-
him-anyway(?) stylesheet/WordPress specialist here with a minor follow up.

Tommy asked for this a while ago - but it’s amazing what a sore throat, some nap time, and someone else’s Wordpress upgrade does for my productivity. Author images (brought to you by your friends at Coffee 2 Code) are now available. Now, you too can see just who comes up with this stuff on a daily basis.

Be gentle, some of us have fragile egos.
