Some, like Laura, betting on your success. <br /><br />I must admit that I blog sporadically and spend an inordinate amount of time reading others blogs and commenting on them. There is no ratings for comments though.<br /><br />I've binned Klout and all of the rest as it was just taking to much time and as I blog on a specific journey of discernment, not a lot happens at any one time. <br /><br />But keep up the good work and hopefully you will be restored to your rightful place in the blogger lists.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299409348701300460.post-37765638531585756242011-11-09T13:30:25.477+00:002011-11-09T13:30:25.477+00:00Thanks to you all, and the the pistol-whipping Ma&...Thanks to you all, and the the pistol-whipping Ma'ams! Point received! <br /><br />I ached over this last night when I should have been sleeping, and I think I may have been projecting a little. Since I started this new role, I have found only a fraction of the time to write compared to before. The Stats are, in many ways, an all too painful reminder that I am (as Ray eloquently, and brutally puts it) neglecting my friends. <br /><br />Lower numbers, greater neglect ... <br /><br />I appreciate all your comments, that all said. And Sr, never place me above you! I think that you are a saint, and are already sanctified in the House of Cloake as the Patron Saint of Blogging.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08268991293847325315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299409348701300460.post-7718099172515476602011-11-09T11:36:57.140+00:002011-11-09T11:36:57.140+00:00Preach it brother!

I used to be addicted to all this, but have weened myself off.<br /><br />Having said this, someone Tweeted me early this morning to let me know that I'd been knocked off the top spot on Wikio by an atheist website. Now I will admit, I would rather have been knocked off by a Christian blogger!<br /><br />But that's just my bias ;-)Stuarthttp://blog.echurchwebsites.org.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299409348701300460.post-20922237106198127152011-11-08T17:24:39.729+00:002011-11-08T17:24:39.729+00:00A very balanced view, as always.

Yesterday's insightful blog post or witty tweet is soon forgotten. I suspect it is harder for 'professional' speakers like yourself: the clergy are expected to voice opinions whereas those of us lower down the chain can keep quiet and even be thought profound(ish) for doing so.Digitalnunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698300417345045874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299409348701300460.post-81949809034103619562011-11-08T16:58:46.921+00:002011-11-08T16:58:46.921+00:00Well, David, I offer myself in the role of aggress...Well, David, I offer myself in the role of aggressive mistress. Not quite in the way you had intended, perhaps, but as a school marm of the old-fashioned sort, armed with a hairbrush (on second thoughts, better delete the hairbrush).<br /><br />As you know, I am one of your shareholders on Empire Avenue, invested 'to the max', as they say. Of late, I have noticed you taking a somewhat lofty and disdainful view of the sordid workings of the market place. I had been wondering how to remind you that your investors were relying on you to keep your nose to the grindstone, or else warn us that you were about to go on a cerebral walkabout.<br /><br />So, do tell us, do you advise us to sell up and search for another wage-slave? Or should we simply hold on in the hope that you will rejoin us on earth at some point in the not too distant future. <br /><br />I think I will bet on the latter...Laura Sykeshttp://www.layanglicana.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299409348701300460.post-15041801775483294292011-11-08T16:55:22.603+00:002011-11-08T16:55:22.603+00:00Perhaps if you read other people's blogs more ...Perhaps if you read other people's blogs more often you would discover that your ratings are higher than you might think.<br />Merely putting out an occasional post and not commenting in return on your received comments, or commenting on other people's posts, makes you a less 'visible' blogger than formerly.<br />Just saying!.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.com
