At the end of every year, the hordes of people who know things better than you do come out with their top ten lists. Here at The Hole, the best thing that we can come up with is a list of the most popular posts since I installed the Popularity Contest plugin in October. This rates each post on various criteria, but basically it shows which posts have been seen more than others.
- Blog Action Day
- Here comes $100 oil, and $3 gasoline?
- Google Adds IMAP Support To GMail
- Brave New World
- The Pied Piper of Oakland
- Skylark Apartments
- Global Warming is a Crock
- Pimpin for Birthday Boy’s School
- Halloween
- The BlogRush Cut
Next year, we should be able to have a better list, as we have just installed the PostRatings plugin. Go ahead and give those posts a rating. It’s like instant, anonymous feedback, and next year, we’ll have a top ten list of the best rated posts.

BlogRush is in Phase 2, after introduction and taking everyone who applied. Now, they are cleaning up the spam blogs, non English blogs, and low quality blogs. They report cutting over 10,000 blogs from their network. I’m glad to see some networks cleaning up crap. In surfing between MyBlogLog network accounts, I see some sites that are in the beginning phases, non English, and “poor quality.” Most notably are the sites in the network that do not have the widget.
The scariest thing about BlogRush is that Blog It Out Your Pie Hole is still a network member. Maybe it’s the best thing.

So I just checked my Alexa ranking. I had a little boost, up from 4,426,952 to 3,578,624, which is what by badge is now claiming. Right now, the toolbar is boasting an impressive 792,514. That’s up 3.6 Million in just a couple of weeks. I can’t say for certain what any one particular change was, but here is what I did.
I changed the site theme. Made it more aesthetically pleasing. It used to be a gawdawful orange, now, as you can see, it’s more crisp and it just looks better. I think that more people who have never been here could tell, through the universal ether, that the site is beautiful and they should come visit.
