One last regarding blogs during 2007
So, being a baseball fan I have an unhealthy interest in statistics. So I decided to run the numbers of all Blog Net News Most Influential Bloggers numbers on a week-by-week basis to determine who was the most influential blog or blogger in Maryland in 2007. I ran the numbers much like they do for the NCAA rankings, 20 points for 1st place, 19 for second, all the way down to 1 point for the 20th ranking. I just added the points up to see who was # 1.
Ladies and gentlemen, statistically speaking Maryland's Most Influential Blogger of 2007 was........Me.
Here are the point totals for the top 20:
There are a lot of conservative bloggers at the top of this list. More interesting nuggets:
Weeks Spent at # 1:
I also put the raw excel spreadsheet online if anybody wants to really get into the numbers...
Happy New Year everybody!

Cool compilation
I wondered why I was stopped being ranked as of 11/28 and noticed that the BNN site says it can't retrieve my feed anymore. I sent an email to the BNN editor to see what the problem is.
Well that explains that because I was completely puzzled as to why you dropped off towards the end...
He just responded saying that the feed they had was wrong and I should be back on in the morning.
Oh well
Happy New Year. Being somewhat a numbers-person and an excel spreadsheet maven - - you did a heckuva lot of great work on this. Thank you very much. Thanks for all your great work in 2007 and best wishes for another great 2008. Kevin Dayhoff www.kevindayhoff.net
