Carl’s last blog post..A weed, my mate Bruce, and Ronda doorways.
I would be pleased. I made the B List – forgot to add that to my post originally. I would not take this too seriously Carl, the rating is not all inclusive in its measurements.
Wow, huge list of resources. Don’t love Google helpin someone for a change?

You are an A lister to me Kelly. Your blog just has not been round long enough yet.
That was fun! I’d never seen that before, and my blog turned out to be a B-Lister.

Lin Burress’s last blog post..5 Ways To Make Your Blog Posts SCREAM For Attention
Thanks Lin – it was meant to be a bit of fun. I thought it would be popular too
It worked too, eh?
I honestly don’t even check what my Technorati rank is, as I’m just too busy writing to worrying about stats all the time.
I of course found your blog through the aussie forum, so there are definitely great benefits to participating in various networking venues, and somehow balance the time and energy put into each one.
Now I’m back to the forum to see what’s going on over there.

Lots of great links here Sue! Mahalo!
Kuanyin’s last blog post..Obama-mania and Autism Breakthrough
Maholo Kuanyin. Great to see you here too. Hope you are getting back into the blogging frame of mind now and enjoying it.
So basically the technorati widget tells that anyone with a number “x” of links is an A, B, C, D etc blogger? I am amazed! LOL. Should I congratulate the A-lists for the way they manage to get links or for their writing?
Sue, don’t get me wrong, you deserve to be called an A list blogger but it’s the quality of your work that makes you one and not a silly technorati widget! With or without links you will always be on my A list, girl!
