Barbados and Caribbean Blogs Celebration
Thursday, October 25, 2007 at 09:15PM 
About.com lists the top Caribbean Blogs by Travelers, and the Top Blogs by Caribbean Residents.My Barbados Blog, as well as our Travel 2 the Caribbean's blog BOTH made the list for Caribbean Blogs by Travelers.
And I got an e-mail from Rich McIver telling me that My Barbados Blog is listed among the Top 100 Blogs for vacationers at Travel Hacker, and #3 out of nine in the Caribbean and Central America category.
That's pretty awesome! And I have to THANK all of our subscribers, visitors and clients for making this happen.
And the good news doesn't stop there. About.com has a link to the 10 most popular Caribbean destinations, and of course Barbados is on the list.
When I clicked on the link, and looked at the sites our blogging friends over at Barbados Free Press were on the list, along with a few other Barbados travel related and government sites. BFP does a fine job in reporting on the island, and is consistently one of the top Word Press blogs.
So congratulations to My Barbados Blog, and BFP for being listed on one of the top travel related sites on the net.
