And our guess is that they will be in the September Feedster Top 500. But for right now here they are along with their approximate ranking: * Top 20 -- Stephen's Web by Stephen Downes * Top 50 -- Jason Kottke * Top 75 -- Search Engine Watch * Top 75 -- We Make Money Not Art * Top 250 -- Right Wing News (Conservative News and Views)</blockquote> I guess as with any project there is always teething problems and some were bound to be missed. Wish they'd missed me - I'd be up the top of their page like the above 5 blogs! Bet they are getting some hits at the moment :-) yeah – they definitely missed a few blogs in the list and I think last time I looked acknowledged some of them at the top of the list where they write:

Where in the hell is kottke? I mean I don't like the guy, but he isn't in the top 500? Maybe I just missed him. Congrats, but I do have to question that list…

Where in the hell is kottke? I mean I don’t like the guy, but he isn’t in the top 500? Maybe I just missed him.

Unfortunately blogging isn't on the radar in Australia (I guess we've been brainwashed to do as mainstream media expects of us for too long) Sadly, when the media in Australia writes about blogging in general they treat it as a sideshow thing - something that's done by a few and "isn't that cute" kind of article. For me, I first started my blog solely for an Australian audience - but did I learn quick. After ditching that and "going global" I haven't looked back and it has gone leaps and bounds. Well done all … from another Aussie.
