    Praise A nice notice for the Guild

    I totally missed this from back in November 22 of 2017,
    We were on the list for Feedspot's Top 40 cartography blogs and websites for cartographers
    And we seem to have been at the top of the list too.
    Nice.

    Cheers to everyone here on the Guild that maps and comments and generally keeps things going here.
    Not the least of which would be Diamond, Bogie, ChickPea, and Red Robes.
    And Ilanthar who has been bringing new life to the Cartographers Choice awards.

    Holy....

    Wow!

    Congratulations everyone!

    I am stunned that the UK's Ordnance Survey didn't come out on top, but I guess they don't do any fantasy stuff to tickle the imagination the way we do

    I'd personally love to hear how it was rated or decided on.
    I'm super glad we were even on the list.
    That's some good company to be named in.

    edit - now I am even more surprised that we made first place
    Look at the stats for some of the other sites.

    I saw that article but did not gave it too much credit since I have no idea what Feedpost is.
    But it still a good thing to hear.

    Yeah, I saw that at the time too and I briefly thought about posting it but.... well ... it's the 'Top 40 Cartography Blogs' aaaand there's only 33 on the list. Why not just make it the Top 30 if they ran out of sites? And how many pop-ups/sign up notices does one site need, jeez?!

    It's great to be placed first and all that, but tbh the site feels a bit spammy. (I feel slightly bad at saying that, as I'm guessing whoever put the list together really likes our site, since we came ahead of the likes of Ordnance Survey.)
