It's inevitable. Within the next day or two, I will drop out of the top twenty blogs. I have accepted this as fact.

But my observations and those of others have made it clear that this is not a fault of my blogging, but of a bug in the points system. I have brought over 1,000 visitors to my site via blogexplosion in addition to those who regularly view my site, and have written 3-5 articles a day (ok, ok, so I had a few "slump"
articles), so I know I shouldn't be below 4,000 points in the last 30 days. I probably HAVE fallen out of the top ten legitimately, but I'm seeing the site plunge 1-3 points each day. When I log back in on Monday, I'll have to flip to the second page to see it if nothing's fixed.

While I have definitely decided this, too, shall pass, I still have the points whore side of me that is horribly dismayed. But maybe it's got it's good side, in exposing some of JU's worthier bloggers. I, am, after all, established; they might be able to benefit from their moment in the sun.
