Firstly, congratulations pugs, that's one hell of an achievement. I know cos I've been trying hard as hell to climb the ranks but I'm afraid I have a long, long way to go. I just find some blogs so interesting that I spend too much time reading all the posts....
Like Michele though I've only seen your blog once and that's what brought me here today so I just wonder how many times your blog has actually been viewed on BM? I agree with Michele on this.......
I think that the VARB ranking should be weighted to give people like you and Brad who give others great value (visits, hits) by surfing a lot a higher ranking so that in turn you will be more visible. If you put in, then you should be rewarded! Otherwise what's the point of having all those credits!!! You have to be rewarded objectively on your effort not just subjectively on the whims of others, voting or otherwise for your blog.
PS. And congratulations to Brad for his obvious efforts in getting their before you.
PPS. Paul! Not another limit. I say come on enter these guys on the wall of fame now based on their tremendous achievement and the rules as they are now.....you can't now move the goal posts and say "but there's more"....."achieve a new target and get a permamnet link on the wall of fame"!!!! I vote that they should already have earned their place on this so-called wall of fame.

Hey Pugs,
Firstly congratulations on your BlogMad achievement, well done I've been riding your coat tails for a while but your just to dedicated and I could never have beaten you across the 30K line but anyway I hope to be 3rd across (perhaps the 1st fem) who knows. Jana told me about your post on your blog and I read her comment there and couldn't agree more about the points that she's raised and in fact, I totally agree that it's pathetic that BM didn't even pass on a thank you or give you a heap of credits for your massive achievement. Why I would have thought you'd even get a call from Her Majesty, the Queen of England to acknowledge your massive clicking ability......lol.
Oh and BTW I just love the Merchant Navy Group and The Blog Mad Group scrolling slide show thingo....would love to know how you do that cos I think it would be great for my blog to show case different clothing etc.
