I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who voted in the About.com Readers' Choice awards. I'm tremendously proud that Butch Wonders won the Best Lesbian Blog award! I was stoked to be in the top five--but to win? So cool!! I see it as our award, not my award. Sounds cheesy, but it's true. Every time you take a minute to comment on a post or write me an email or send in a picture, you make Butch Wonders a better blog and a stronger community. I hope we'll keep growing, and I hope you'll keep reading. I'm thrilled that so many of you read the blog and find it interesting or useful enough to keep coming back. You are awesome. Thank you!!

Thanks for your great responses to the survey I put up a few days ago. Much appreciated! I love reading readers' suggestions. Remember that question I asked about what kinds of things you'd like to see more of on the blog? Here are the top five:
Interesting results, and I'll definitely use that feedback going forward.(Numbers 2, 3, and 4 were *very* close.) Wow, I haven't blogged for four days! Dagnabbit. I've been thinking a lot about this site, though: how BW can be better, more interesting, etc. I'd also love it to be financially sustainable (i.e. if I could break even for my hours and site costs). I can't please everyone, and don't try to. But I do care what this site's awesome readers think. Because of you, Butch Wonders has gone from nothing (in May 2011) to over 1000 unique hits every day! I want to keep BW strong and vibrant and growing, and to that end, I'd love your input. Whether you're a regular reader or have only read a few posts, I hope you'll fill out this wee survey. On the multiple choice ones, you can check as many answers as you want. Thank you SO much for taking the time to fill this out. I really appreciate it, and will be back to out regularly scheduled blogging soon! I promise!
Love and a fist bump, BW It's the 28th! Which means it's that special time of the month. You know what I mean, right? [WINK, WINK.] Yes! Time to: ...Pay the rent! ...Frontline the dog! ...And best of all, share with you all the weird-ass searches that got people to Butch Wonders! Here are some of my February favorites:

_Responses to my "bah humbug" post about Valentine's Day ranged from hostility ("maybe you need to get laid") to laughter ("LOL, that was awesome!"). I also got several answers to two questions, and I'll share a few of my favorites: A word or saying you would love to see on a conversation heart:
__ The queerest, gayest, or most lesbian way to spend Valentine's Day: 1. ...[W]ith the cats, while watching "Imagine Me and You," cuddling in our underwears. Granted, I have only one set of plaid panties, but I'm hoping that will do. Stereotypes for the win? 2. At a girl bar, listening to politicially themed folk music, gushing about how much you love the woman you're with, then getting mad at her because she didn't respond properly. 3. Having sex with a woman (assuming you are one). In any case, dear readers, thanks for your amusing emails and comments. I hope you had a great Valentine's Day, whether you love it, hate it, celebrate it, are indifferent to it, or forgot about it completely, and whether you are single, dating, coupled, or stuck in one of those romances Facebook categorizes as "complicated." As far as I'm concerned, you're all my valentines. Thanks for being awesome. |
