That’s the manner in which 451 Press referred to itself in the new press release that they have issued. With 329 blogs in its roster, 451 Press is indeed one of the heavyweight players in the blog network industry today.

451 Press has also added a blog aggregator to its main network page, a great move that should’ve been put in place quite some time ago.

Steve Shickles, president of 451 Press, commented, “We’re excited to see the network grow and expand so quickly. Our sites are doing great, and we owe that in large part to the great team of bloggers who’ve made the network what it is. Our new aggregator lets anyone stopping by 451 Press read snippets of blogs as they’re published. We’re hoping that they’ll see something that interests them, and bookmark that particular blog.”

451 Press’ expansion has been nothing short of rapid — they launched in September 2006 with only ten blogs.

Coinciding with this announcement, 451 Press is also holding a contest wherein blog readers can win cash prizes of $300, $200 or $100 by commenting on any 451 Press site during this month.
