The November issue of the Foreign Service Journal has a nice piece on Foreign Service blogs.
Frankly, I was a little surprised not to be mentioned, particularly since some inactive blogs were. Diplopundit noticed LAJ was omitted, as were several other good (and active) bloggers (like Consul At Arms II).
Of course, perhaps the left LAJ off because I was critical of the FSJ's decision to publish a letter asking that benefits NOT be granted to LGBT Foreign Service families and their subsequent attempt to edit a response(see here and here) to make it appear that the writer was protesting the letter and not the Journal's decision to publish it.
Not sure why some of the others were left off...

I was guessing they left you off on purpose, too. Your blog is pretty easy to find, after all. Ah, well - everyone I know who reads blogs reads yours.
I too was surprised not to find your blog in the article. Perhaps it was just an innocent mistake. I hope so. They also left out former professor of mine (and retired FSO) who recently published on the Berlin Wall.
I think you should be thankful your site wasn't included, because, quite frankly, it was one of the worst-written articles I've ever read.
I'm both surprised and saddened that your blog wasn't mentioned.
I know... I was surprised that I didn't see you here too... especially considering you were one of the first FS blogs I ever read!
Their loss.
I was disappointed that so many blogs they recommended hadn't been updated in so long. It's as if they don't get the point of blogging. The older ones should have been relegated to an "archives" list and room made for current blogs. But then, the link to the "other blogs" page didn't work, at least when I was trying to click on it.
I agree Anonymous that it wasn't a very well-written article. And there are plenty of us who do have you on our best-of lists.
