And to be included, well, I am humbled and honored. Thank you. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I too am new to design blogs, finding out about them as I started my own blog in July. I couldn't have been more excited to find out they existed! Where was I? I guess my nose was stuck in a magazine. A wondrous new world has opened up to me, online magazine-blogs where I can interact with the people creating them! Where we can share common inspiration, and be challenged to see design through new eyes. So exciting! I am so inspired by all that is out there, and your blog is among my favorites. Thank you for all you do to inspire.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I look forward to new inspiration from you and each of these fine blogs, in the year to come.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3422669494853882483/5941447824398529834/comments/default/732348190793858814'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3422669494853882483/5941447824398529834/comments/default/732348190793858814'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thingsthatinspire.net/2007/12/my-favorite-posts-of-year.html?showComment=1198971360000#c732348190793858814' title=''/><author><name>Melissa @ The Inspired Room</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09711494549892860307</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thingsthatinspire.net/2007/12/my-favorite-posts-of-year.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422669494853882483.post-5941447824398529834' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3422669494853882483/posts/default/5941447824398529834' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422669494853882483.post-4798500280874164717</id><published>2007-12-29T15:53:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-29T15:53:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>What a great year end tribute you have done.
