  1. How to be a Top 10 Blogger
    The Evangelical Outpost is doing some analysis of the Top 10 Bloggers in the Ecosystem. He has come up with 9 things you can do to become a Top 10 Blogger. Its an interesting post – here are his headings……..

  2. I don’t get the “h) Be a musician”, why would it help to become a top blogger? Is it because you are a musician, you “must” be creative or what?

  3. I’m not male and not about to have a sex change, so I guess I’m not in the running.lol

  4. And the pattern is… be part of an elite.

  5. I was going through some of your old posts and I thought this was absolutely ridiculous some of the greatest bloggers I know and are very popular are female.

  6. Just browsed to your 913th page in your blog for a change and entered this blog.

    “I would add two more suggestions.

    j) Be American
    k) Be Male”

    A simple query on the above suggestion

    Why can’t a Female be a good Blogger? – why just Male?
