Status Change or just Penalized …

Improved
status or penalized, I am sure many of you have checked out your own status on
the NEW
October Listing at the MLBlogosphere
provided by our fearless leader the illustrious Mark of MLBlogs.
(enough sucking up for one day)
As with most people you scanned the list to see where your own ‘BLOG’
had landed on the final list of the season, then you went down to the comments
section, added your usual complimentary comment and moved on. How many actual
pay attention to the list of blogs other than where it concerns your blog?
How many would notice an anomaly in the list, I’m not talking
about ‘Confessions of a
She Fan’ not being at number 1, or ‘Red
State Blue State’ not being at number 2, (although they did lose that
status last
month). I am talking about things like the numbers at the bottom of the
‘Fan Blog’ list having 2 number 44’s and being out of order or even a less recognized
blog in the community being moved from the ‘Fan Blogs’ to the ‘Pro Blogs’
listing, who would actually notice that….?
So now all that’s left to find out is ‘what do I get ?’, now my
blog has ‘PRO’ status, do I get a cute ‘MLB PRO BLOG’ logo for the top of blog
page, or do I get erased from the list quietly, without a ripple being created
in the world of MLBlogs, or maybe just nothing happens and I remain in obscurity
at the bottom of a list of names….

Haha! Nice! Welcome to the BIG LEAGUES, Peter! (PS, If they send you a check, tell them I wanna make mine a pro blog too 😉

Congratulations on becoming a PRO! LOL. Also thanks for reminding to go write something nice in the comments section over there. I didn’t even know about the rankings until Rays Renegade told me.

C’mon, Peter – to be in the same list as Keith Olbermann and Dave Pallone rocks already! Besides, there’s probably a mix-up somewhere…and #50 had to be dropped off our list eventually.
Enjoy the nibbles in the Press Room! 🙂

I always knew you were special ;o) I try to pay little attention to the list anymore…there are blogs on there that have not posted in weeks or months. It is a mystery…

It’s all the cool Photoshop graphics.
Peter,
Guess being so close to the name of “Phillies Insider” bit you sqaurely on a behind cheek. Always thought there should be a progression of if you are in the Top 3 or 5 all year long, you elevate to another spot like a Pro blog.
I guess you can look at this two ways.
Either it is an insult that you have to now do twice as good to get noticed as a “Pro”, or you can be delighted to know they consider you writing above par.
Think about it, # 45 in the Pro section is also a nice little star to put on your blog resume’.
BTW, the # 2 spot taken away from Red State/Blue State last month is being considered as a covert conspircay theory pushed out by the Glambert Army (lol).
