Unbelievable.

Despite having been snubbed by “big bloggers” for the past few months, my blog managed to creep up The Truth Laid Bear Ecosystem (TTLB) anyway.

A couple of months ago, I removed the TTLB code from my sidebar because I’d become too preoccupied with checking my ranking. Out of sight, out of mind, right? Well, sort of. I haven’t checked it since…October? Can’t remember. But curiosity wrestled with me this morning and won. Last time I looked, I was at #28 or #29, and that was after a few “big” links. I thought I’d be among the Playful Primates by now. I’ve had no big links in the past several months, but I managed to rise to #24. Still the top-rated black woman Christian conservative blogger. (I bet if I were the top-rated black woman agnostic liberal blogger, I’d get mucho press.)

I owe that to the long tail of the blogosphere, smaller and/or less well-known bloggers linking to LBC. Thanks, kids.

But as I said, I don’t focus on such things anymore.

By the way, this is not a repeat of this. Just thinking out loud…
