And even this list doesn't reflect all the wonderful blogs that were posted this week. But now we must present the winner:
Jason on the House
Who posted a courageous veil lifting open letter to the site membership in: Confessions of a Blogoholic 4/27/12
Confession/apology blogs are difficult to do, and Jason on the House, confessing to actually being Lindgren was a very brave article to write and make public after leading the secret identity for so long. The public response was forgiving and supportive, and affirmative of everything Manic Expression stands for.
And so, my friends, lift your glasses for the traditional OBotW toast. "To Lindgren...er...Jason on the House(sorry), May you continue in honest, down to Earth blogging that expresses who you are, unashamedly proud."
