Our humble little Monitor is a now just over a year old. We’re just now learning to walk, so to speak.

So it was with great pride that we came to learn that Lexis Nexus has chosen us among its “Top 50 Blog” nominees in its insurance and law community for 2009. We only launched the site in April 2009, so it was very nice to see that we were able to be recognized despite not even having a full 12 months under out belts.

There is still voting to be done before anything becomes official but, frankly, we are just honored to be ranked alongside so, so many other great news, opinion and multimedia sources helping to educate and enlighten the world of risk and insurance.

Thanks to those involved in the selection process, and we truly hope you devoted readers also enjoyed our coverage in 2009.

We think it’s been even better thus far in 2010 — and that improvement will only continue.
