What a wonderful, wonderful medium we have in WeBlogs

In addition to the following suggested via a comment from Dimitre Novatchev (thanks Dimitre!):

• Johannes Döbler
• George Christian Bina
• Salvatore Mangano
• Martin Rowlinson

I plan to add:

• B. Tommie Usdin
and
• Mulberry Technologies

Again, all of these individuals and in the case of Mulberry Technologies, an entity, are obvious oversights in which should have been listed all along.

NOTE: I need to be very careful in how I list the "Legends" as I would hate to imply that those at the bottom are any less important than those listed higher up. As such I am changing the list to alphabetical order, using last names as the basis for individuals and listing them seperate from entitities in which will also be listed alphabetically, starting with A. If there is enough support to change it to more of a Chronological listing I am up to make the change as such. I will leave it to comments to help decide if this or any other "ordering" should be the proper way to list members of this elite community.

I guess one of the nice things about a blog stems from its definition found on Wikipedia:

"A weblog, Web log or simply a blog, is a web application which contains periodic, reverse chronologically ordered posts on a common webpage."

"reverse chronologically ordered posts" - Depending on how you define this phrase I could always suggest that the last were the first anyway, right? Hmmm... maybe not so much.... Anyway, I will get the list updated now and once again thank Dimitre for bringing to even further light just how incomplete the "Legends of the XSLT Community" list is at the momennt. Again, please, I mean no disrespect to anyone I have missed and gladly accept with open arms those in whom any of you feel is missing from this list and through silly oversight should have been listed all along. As soon as I saw the names Dimitre posted I felt like smacking myself upside the head as, again, they should have been obvious from the get-go. Without a doubt via help from community members such as Dimitre (and in his case an actual member of this elite community) this list will increasingly become an accurate portrayal of all the deserved members of the XSLT community who for various reasons should be considered "Legends of the XSLT Community".

To the members of the "Legends of the XSLT Community": If there is a link that you would prefer me to send people to please let me know and I will make the change immediattely upon receiving and subsequently verifying (through alternative means if the senders email seems at all *odd* as to the implied sender) that this is indeed the link you want me to use. I mention the latter as I need to provide some sort of verification system to ensure that it is indeed you, the member, who is making the request.
