		<description>Madeleine - aren&#039;t you guilty of a little porky there? Or is it just simple bad-mouthing?

Come on - you have charged rigging - lets see the evidence. And please front up with it at &lt;a href=&quot;http://openparachute.wordpress.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Open Parachute&lt;/a&gt;.

What &quot;atheist&quot; blogs are favoured? (What &quot;atheist&quot; NZ blogs are there? - I would be interested in a list). What mechanism is used to favour them?  Why do the Christian blogs do so well? And why should I bother rigging things? Surely I am more interested (as we should all be)in the objective rating?

Oh - and please let me know of the blogs I am missing (although at almost 400 now I must find some way of limiting the numbers analysed).

By the way - have a look at the automatic blog ranking using public sitemeter stats (see &lt;a href=&quot;http://openparachute.wordpress.com/2009/06/20/a-nz-blog-ranking-tool/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;A NZ blog ranking tool&lt;/a&gt;). It updates daily, presents the data as average visits/day (based on the previous 7 days) and provides an ideal way of keeping tabs of ones own performance with respect to other blogs. It currently has 55 blogs on the list. (It&#039;s quite exciting to watch how blogs move up and down the list).

If you are interested and have sitemeter or statcounter send me a link and I will include it.</description>

		<description>The Open Parachute blog rankings are incomplete and omit to include many NZ blogs. Tumeke&#039;s and HalfDone&#039;s NZ blogosphere rankings are more comprehensive and arguably use a better formula (one that isn&#039;t rigged to favour athiest blogs). I suspect you&#039;d find you&#039;d do better on theirs.

If Tumeke and Halfdone do not already rank you pop over to their sites and ask them to, just leave a comment on any post - they are pretty good at adding new blogs - you can find links to both on MandM, just click on our NZ Christian Blog Rankings tag.</description>
