# .Net Blogging MVP - a myth?

By Roy Osherove October 6, 2003 In [Off Topic](https://osherove.com/blog/category/off-topic)

**Historical article** · Originally published October 6, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

So here's a tough question. despite the fear of sounding too full of myself (which I notably am), is it remotely possible to receive an MVP award on blogging? Is there any chance that if I do this long enough and hard enough, I can be considered for something like this?

I know I'm asking for it, but I urge you - no flaming (as much as humanly possible)... :)
