Someone new has provided Alexa rankings for the Biblioblogs for the month of December. Joel Watts suggests passing this around in order to keep up the competition. I think it would all be fun if less people fought over the whole thing. It’s a bit of fun competition based on some rather loose stats, not a life and death struggle.
I’ve watched with some annoyance as trust in the mainstream media (whatever that is) has diminished, to be replaced by trust in even less reliable news sources. Many media outlets earned popular contempt by their carelessness with the facts. My observation is that the news media have been more biased toward “shallow” than in any…
Christian Carnival CXL has been posted at Lux Venit. There’s a good deal of good stuff to check out. Without prejudice to the whole list, I’d like to call special attention to the following: Tight Theological HatbandsI’m not reformed in theology, but I have long thought one of the strengths of the reformed camp was…
I have temporarily disabled my blogrolling.com based blogrolls due to very slow loading. I will look into what can be done. Some blogrolls can probably be restored using another method. For the moment, however, the site was unusable with those blogrolls enabled.
I’m not sure what happened, but on this blog and two others all comments were suddenly closed. The only common element between the three blogs was one plug-in, and I’m checking to see what may have happened. If anyone tried to comment but was unable to do so, it’s not because I have altered my…
Welcome to Threads from Henry’s Web. I am starting this blog to replace the series of essays that I have been posting on my web site. The blog format brings me kicking and sceaming into the 21st centry. All kicking and screaming aside, it will allow me to create new essays more easily, and also…
Messages are only as useful as the audience they reach … — Joshua Darr, FiveThirtyEight.com Just so! And even though that comes from a post about politics, I’m not thinking politics here.
Henry, I think the key for continued rankings is the seriousness of it all.
I find it impossible to take ranking based on Alexa seriously. For sites outside of the top 100,000 on a 90 day basis the rankings are not all that accurate.
I am a graduate student in theology and a newcomer to the “blogosphere”.
I was wondering, how does one grow in readership, so that I might have some

I’m not one of the big players amongst the biblioblogs, but my recommendation is to write about things you’re passionate about, link to other bloggers who write about those topics, and comment constructively on various blogs you find interesting.
Over time, other people who have more traffic will link to you. Patience is required, however. It takes time.
