I guess everyone else in Maryland took the week off? 🙂
It’s sort of amazing that I spent the first part of last week heavily talking about baseball yet moved up in the rankings. But I think Friday’s post and some controversy I’m having at the moment pushed me up the standings, pending the certain recount.
This means I get another opportunity to thank all of you who read my site, make good comments which advance the discussion (even you, Henry – I guess someone cares, don’t they?) and interact with me in “real” life with your thoughts and ideas.
As you’ll see this afternoon, I’m attempting to bring more national politics into my discussion. (It’s kind of funny, I was expecting a drop in the rankings so I just billed myself as a “top 10” Maryland blog.) It’s not like I’m forgetting my roots, but in order to promote change on a national scale, I need to have a national focus. Sometimes our city and state are the canary in the coal mine though so I’ll keep my ear to the ground.
By the way, I wonder if it’s the (for lack of a better word) incestuous nature of Eastern Shore blogging that helps our collective rankings. We have three of the top four blogs this week in Maryland (monoblogue, Delmarva Dealings, Salisbury News) which is unusual for an area that only has about 5% of Maryland’s population. Or maybe it’s because we have the most common sense politics?
Again, I’d like to thank all of you who read and comment for helping me to one of my goals! Woohoo!
Sensationalism sells, and you did nothing more than dip your little finger in it, indirectly, from afar . . .
Plus, you were provoked. You probably got a number of hits looking to see how you would react, and how the back ‘n’ forth would unfold . . .
Personally, I try to stay out of the fray. Been there, done that, didn’t find it too conducive to positive mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual health . . .
As I said, keep doing what you’re doing . . .
