It seems that the editors see blog posts as simply an online version of a personal essay. But my favorite posts by my favorite bloggers would make no sense in a print anthology. But what makes those posts really great is all the cool online stuff: links, embedded videos, etc. This could be a good place to start a discussion of how the form of the blog post differs from the form of a personal narrative.
Anyways, we should be against the Lehman Tendency. The best of the best of the best, that's just silly.
I'm nominating your "hot or not" feature. It's you at your most insightful!!!
