Today I put in a bid to join the newly revived Biblioblogs rankings list. Listed blogs that are related to biblical studies of one sort or another are ranked based upon their traffic as recorded by Alexa. Since this list is in new hands, it’s currently pending a revision of the standards determining what is and what isn’t a “Biblioblog”.
In the meantime, a blogger who happens to regularly top the list in rankings simultaneously savagely misrepresented me and fair-mindedly (or schizophrenically) recommended that my blog get ranked, despite his penchant for trying to get people thrown off this list. With friends like that…well, I’ll take any friends I can get.
For the record – as if my readers didn’t know any of this - I am not a creationist, an inerrantist, a Calvinist of any stripe, nor someone who holds any water for the Manhattan Declaration (I haven’t so much as mentioned it on this blog). I can’t afford to allow these below-the-belt charges to color anyone’s perception of me while I’m trying to get recognized as an honest-to-gosh “Biblioblogger”.
I’ll certainly understand if the criteria Jeremy decides upon ultimately exclude me; the Biblioblogs.com criteria are decidedly more stringent than what the Biblioblog ranking criteria have hitherto been, so if he goes with aligning the two more closely, I’m out for sure. And of course, I certainly wouldn’t expect to be anywhere but at the bottom of the list when it comes to Alexa rankings. But for the fun of joining this band of bible-blogging brothers, I’d like to see something come of it.
