This is one of those completely self-serving posts that are always uncomfortable for me to write - but as much as the Donald Trump annoys me he does make a good point when he says “Toot your own horn, because no one else will”.

So - I need to put on my PR hat for a moment.

Packt Publishing is the publisher of a number of technical and software books -and this year they also ran a CMS Award event designed to recognize content management solutions within the open source community. As part of that award event they also choose “MVPs” from within the community, and I was choosen as the MVP for ExpressionEngine.

Honestly, I was completely unaware of this event - and award - until informed of it via Twitter.  I’m quite humbled by being on that list - especially since most of the other people chosen are the CMS developers (you know, the really smart people that actually solve the challenges vs. just telling others how stuff works..)

However - it’s very nice to be recognized for work that’s already very rewarding and a great deal of fun besides.  My thanks to whoever took the time to submit my name as a nomination.
