Congrats to Pete Ashton from Created in Birmingham for winning a beautiful big blogging award from the Media Guardian. CiB is a shared endeavour with Stef and justified a glowing lead story on the BBC Birmingham website which encouraged the beeb to throw out some links to other Birmingham bloggers including this one. Thanks.

Tis of course ironic because the Guardian recently overlooked Pete or any other brum blog in it’s survey of blogging outside the capital.
