So as a gift to herald his return, you should all go and vote for the blog at the Blogger's Choice Awards.
Or rather, you should all go and have a look at the candidates and vote for the best blog of your choosing. I would never presume to sway your judgment by asking you to vote for this blog.
No. That would be wrong.
It would be wrong, for example, to trick you into voting for this blog by showing you a video of rats being tickled:

No. I would not stoop to such low and dishonorable tactics.
But if you vote for this blog I promise I'll be your best friend and possibly also make you cookies and buy you a yacht and also a puppy.
