I’ve been blogged!

21 05 2008

O.M.G. I received an email this morning from the blogged.com people telling me that their editorial staff have rated this personal blog at 8.5, which is “Great”. I went in to the list of personal blogs and found this blog at #70 of some 12,000 blogs. How cool is that!

But what was most interesting was that I was one ‘ahead’ of Molly e. Holzschlag’s blog. Those in the HTML/CSS world are probably very aware of Molly, who has written several books and spoken at numerous conferences and is an all-round guru in her field. In fact, I even have at least one of her books: The Zen of CSS Design.

The cynic me says what are these ratings for—just an ego trip? But what the hell. I was pleased to get the rating and being listed on the fourth page of Blogged.com has increased my stats markedly for today.

BTW, you can click the button on the sidebar to add your own ranking of this blog.

Oh, and the editorial ranking? Here’s what the email said: “We evaluated your blog based on the following criteria: Frequency of Updates, Relevance of Content, Site Design, and Writing Style. After carefully reviewing each of these criteria, your site was given its 8.5 score (out of 10).”
