Calling all contributors to A Month of Softies…
Due to a bizarre (and frankly, a very very exciting) situation where the National Library of Australia has requested to archive loobylu.com in their databases because it is an “electronic publication… of lasting cultural value” I must seek your permission as a contributor to allow your work to be archived along with it in the Month of Softies gallery. Because there is no easier way to do this, please email me ASAP if you would prefer your work not to be archived and I will make sure that it is taken out of the gallery for future archiving.
Yay! Congratulations — how exciting!!
Congrats! That really rocks!
WOW! that is very exciting. How did it happen? and congratulations.kathreen

Wow. That’s very, very cool. Congratulations!
Congratulation, and I wish that the “softies” continue a long time! it is so pleasant to think of this project.
God bless librarians!(I’m a little bias)

WOW! That is great stuff, how exciting.
Gooo Loobylu! It’s not easy to get on Pandora – they are very selective! 😉 Congrats!
Congratulations on being of lasting cultural value! I can safely say that’s the first time I’ve ever said that 🙂
Soooooooooo exciting*Well Done Wonder* I haven’t managed to get ANY softies done yet but if I did you would be free to include me*
Hope to see you soon and hear all about your house tales
Blessings

i’m okay with it 🙂 feel free to do it with my monster
Yah for you! archive away. I dont think you will get any objections there. I wonder what the kids of tomorrow will think of all our crazy softies??
Hey Claire, that’s fantastic! Congratulations. I am really pleased for you, and also more generally since recognition like this helps reinforce the value of the kind of blogging that you have been doing so generously and well all this time. I sometimes get a bit despondent at the amount of nonsense attention paid to the male poli-bloggers like Tim Blair, while people like you are seldom acknowledged as making influential contributions to public life. So it’s really excellent news!
Be sure and let us know how it goes with the allen key, too…..
that is wonderful! it’s good to hear they are figuring out how to recognize people who are blogging in a lasting way! i have always thought that if we got a bunch of librarians together they would save the world! congratulations. mav
Sweet! How cool to be considered to have lasting cultural value!
Congratulations, Claire!
Well done!!!
Congrats! BTW, when does the April gallery go up? I’m anxious to see all the monsters!
Wow, this is really exciting! If there is anyone out there in the blogworld who deserves this, it’s you Claire. Fantastic!
Congrats Claire! Its great that such a cool site will be saved and easily available to people to see for a long, long time..
Not as easy to get to, but equally interesting, are the Internet Wayback Machine archives of Loobylu.. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.loobylu.com

Could your life get any more adorable and interesting? That’s exciting news indeed. So all those softies are going to be archived forever! Including the self-portrait softie by Adam (is that his name?) that’s an adorable little monster! Sooooo special, Claire!
