On a whim, I checked my TTLB status the other day just to see if I was still a Flappy Bird in the blogosphere, and I was surprised to see that I’m now a Large Mammal. Thanks to you. That means a lot of people are linking here. I really appreciate that!

Just in case you’re wondering what I’m talking about, blogs are ranked by The Truth Laid Bear site by how many other blogs link to them. I don’t know how all this works, but here are the rankings:

Higher Beings
Mortal Humans
Playful Primates
Large Mammals
Marauding Marsupials
Adorable Rodents
Flappy Birds
Slithering Reptiles
Crawly Amphibians
Flippery Fish
Slimy Molluscs
Lowly Insects
Crunchy Crustaceans
Wiggly Worms
Multicellular Microorganisms
Insignificant Microbes

Here’s how the TTLB site describes this weird ecosytem they’ve created:

The Truth Laid Bear began as a humble BlogSpot blog over three years ago, and has since evolved into a fully developed portal to the blogosphere. The TTLB Blogosphere Ecosystem is widely regarded as the definitive weblog ranking system, and TTLB receives an average of 3,197 visits and 7,016 page views per day.

A few months ago, I got stuck in a rut comparing myself to other bloggers, wondering what made some blogs popular, and others not so much. I felt kind of bad that I’m not one of the cool bloggers who sponsor a weekly carnival, meme, or award. But then I let all that go and decided I’m just writing for the one person who might connect with my post for the day. That’s what really matters.

But hey, I’ll enjoy this possibly short-lived status as a Large Mammal. Definitely beats being an Insignificant Microbe. LOL.

If you’ve linked to my blog, thanks!
