checkboxes... troubling me again!

Those pesky checkbox fields cause me continual grief. I have tried every combination of code used successfully on other projects ((sigh)), and yet I can't figure out where I've gone wrong here. I either see the last three records entered (with disregard to the "favorite blog" checkbox, or I see no records at all.)

I have a checkbox field named favorite_blog with field values of Yes and No.

Header code:
list($blogRecordsFav, $blogMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'blog',
'limit' => '3',
'allowSearch' => false,
'where' => " favorite_blog LIKE '%\Yes\t%' ",
));

HTML code:
<ul>
<?php foreach ($blogRecordsFav as $record): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars ($record['_link']) ?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars ($record['title']) ?>
<?php foreach ($record['favorite_blog_photo'] as $upload): ?>
<img src="<?php echo htmlspecialchars ($upload['thumbUrlPath']) ?>" width="<?php echo $upload['thumbWidth'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['thumbHeight'] ?>" alt="" /></a></li>
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>

The above code displays nothing. Is there anything obviously wrong? (a v2.4 site, by the way)

Would sincerely appreciate any assistance.
