Weird — your anonymous crack team failed to notice that it listed Type Theory twice (last in the first, and first in this episode), that Typophile is not a blog but an online community, and that News, Notes & Observations by Hoefler & Frere-Jones is a type foundry blog and as such should be listed in the third instalment.

not weird, just human error
note to team – did we say that the top ten list excludes foundry blogs?

I’m upset that my site wasn’t listed in the top ten. It has type on it, and I use fonts.
Eye blogger: Don’t be discouraged by all the negativity towards your picks. Sometimes folks take this stuff way too seriously.
