A Flurry of Announcements


Click on the banner to vote for the Rebelution in the Homeschool Blog Awards.

Dear rebelutionaries,

You are amazing. Thank you all so much for your continued enthusiasm and support for The Rebelution. Be sure to keep voting every day.

With that said, there are a few important announcements that need to be made.

First, Brett and I are in Virginia for the rest of the week and do not have Internet access unless we take 30 minutes out of our “lunch break” to walk to the Apple store in the freezing cold weather. Suffice to say, we will most likely not be able to post in as timely manner as we would like.

Second, I want to address something that Brett and I are very concerned about. There are several of The Rebelution’s readers who have visited Right Wing Sparkle’s blog and left very mean-spirited comments. While we appreciate the enthusiasm of these readers, such comments are inappropriate and unacceptable. Remember that you are representing The Rebelution, Brett and me, your fellow rebelutionaries, and most importantly, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I would ask each of you — you know who you are — to go and apologize to RightWingSparkle. Thank you.

Third, Brett and I have been nominated in multiple categories in the first annual Homeschool Blog Awards. You can only vote once in this competition, per category. Be sure to enter your email address when you vote. Please cast your vote for The Rebelution in the following categories:

Best Teen Blog — Best Team/Group Blog — Best Current Events Blog — Best Photo Blog — Best Informational Blog — Best Inspirational Blog

Brett and I would be honored to be awarded any of these categories, but if we had to choose one, we would choose Best Homeschool Teen Blog. It is a highly competitive category with many incredible blogs. Please vote for us in all of the categories — but Best Teen is most important, due to the quality of the competition.

Important: If were planning to vote for us in the Best Inspirational category, please do us a favor and vote for our sister’s excellent blog, Fearlessly Feminine, instead. She’s a true rebelutionary, fighting against what our culture claims are “high” expectations, but are really increasingly low expectations of young ladies today.

On the same thread, two other blogs Brett and I are really pushing for are Agent Tim Online for Best Design, Rhetorical Response for Best Arts Blog.

Soli Deo Gloria! God bless you all!

    It was probably just an over sight, but you have at least three announcments but you gave the second and third one the ’second’ title. That doesn’t make any sense… Here is what it looks like in the post:

    First…
    Second…
    Second…

    Nice catch Ednella!

    That tells me a little bit about Alex’s writing method.

    I voted for yawl and several other blogs that are fav’s of mine.

    God Bless!

  4. Adrielle Says:

    I’m confused…we can vote once total or once in each category?

  5. Brett Harris Says:

    Adrielle: You can vote once in each category! (Be sure to vote for our little sister “Fearlessly Feminine” in the Inspirational Blog category!

  6. Alex Jordan Harris Says:

    Thanks for catching that error, Ednella.

    It’s fixed. Post update.

  7. Larry Says:

    Gentlemen,

    It is good to see such a fine example of home educated young men. We are home educating our three sons (15, 13, and 11). It has been a Blessing for us and it sounds like a Blessing for you as well.

  8. Sarah Harris Says:

    Awww, Brett you guys are so sweet.

    :hugs to you and Alex:

  9. Caleb Says:

    Now c’mon guys, how cold can it really be over there?

    But then, I should keep my mouth shut, because I have no idea.
    :-)

    In the Best of 5001, please vote for Mazurland - the race is neck-and-neck-and-neck between that blog, The Hole Card and Army of Mom. AoM has disparaged fellow bloggers too often and really only posts about her lust for men that aren’t her husband and a lot of mundane events.

    Mazurland is a better written, often thought-provoking, typically entertaining blog. Mazurland needs a lift - as of now the fellas trail AoM by 12 votes. The Hole Card is just two behind Mazurland.

    Thanks all.

  11. Kate Says:

    ^ditto to Hannah… where in VA?

  12. Kaitlin Says:

    When do the weblog awards end?

  13. abby berg Says:

    woohoo! You had the most votes!=D *yay*

  14. Alex Jordan Harris Says:

    Hannah and Kate: We’re in Arlington. Thankfully, it’s warmed up a bit lately… But there’s “rumors” of more severe weather. Hopefully we won’t get stuck here. =P

    Everyone: Votes will not be finalized for a few days, at least. Things look good though! Thank you so much!

    For now, make sure you go and vote for The Rebelution in the Homeschool Blog Awards. Every person in your family with an email address can vote. Just make sure you ask them to vote for The Rebelution. :wink:
