AWE
It's AWE time! For those of you who are new, AWE means Answered With Elegance and it's an opportunity for supporthelps to nominate answers they see in their categories that are specifically pretty or elegant, answers that go the extra mile. They email them to me (my username)@livejournal.com and I post them whenever I have a number of links that my OCD likes. Please do send links whenever you've go them, I filter them into a little folder in my inbox and the sooner I get a good number of links, the more often I can do this. :)
