Technorati Love... and a Father's Day Winner

I first went on Technorati a month and a half ago when I first heard of it. Back then, I was thrilled to see that I was listed, that I was officially a blogger, and that I had a blog ranking close to 2 million. I was amazed at the power of its tracking: it listed the three blogs that were linking to me.

I just went back on it tonight and almost fell off my chair when I saw that I had broken the 500,000 ranking! I also discovered a whole bunch of links I didn't know I had. So, if you have not Technoratied (is that a term yet - like Googled? it should be!) yourself, don't waste a second and go there right now. I found out that I won the Parent Bloggers blog blast contest last weekend. I saw that I was QUOTED in the NJ Star Ledger - not just quoted - they reproduced one of NJ Moms Blog posts about attending my first blogging event. I also got linked by Laura Williams who has a fantastic weekly giveaway post - I signed up for an RSS feed of it!

Speaking of winners, it's time to announce the winner of the Gold Medal Impressions Father's Day Giveaway. I used Random.org to select the winner. And the winner is: The Trendy Bebe. I have contacted her via email.

Thanks to everyone for participating. I'll be announcing a new contest tomorrow!
