I couldn't tell you, I haven't read any of them.

Just kidding. Just write what you want to write and don't worry about the numbers.

Good advice. Just be yourself and write. The numbers will come in time.

I just checked, your blog is listed at #69. What are you complaining about? It's listed higher than mine by almost 10 spots.

i thought i was at 139

That may be your user rating, easily upped by reading and commenting on other's blogs. Your site is 69.

Wait a minute! How do you determine or find that? Tell me...

your user rating is shown in the window info upper right side of your blog. For the sites just look at the "top 10 blogs" and click for more info, it gives a listing of all the blogs by ranking.

I think Dale Carnegie said it best: You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you.

So basically respond to more people's articles, and they will probably be more likely to read and respond to your own work

It's what I refer to as the Rule of 69. Very valuable.
