However it is not so all powerful that a little gem that is as yet unnoticed more generally cannot do well.<BR/><BR/>This year there was an aditional twist in that the scoring compilied the top twenty and then I openned this up to a panel of the four former winners of the awards (best blog and people's choice) who, in conjuction with the scoring, helped determine where in the top twenty a blog would come.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, this couldn't happen in time to go to Iain Dale's book so he has the raw score top twenty (same twenty blogs, same winner but slightly different order for the other 19) but this is the list that has that vital element of collaberation in it.<BR/><BR/>hope that helpsJim Jeppshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410387006098326671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30598467.post-5986306088532148572008-08-20T11:16:00.000+00:002008-08-20T11:16:00.000+00:00I'm staggered that Sue Luxton's Green Ladywell blo...I'm staggered that Sue Luxton's Green Ladywell blog has not been included; it's a top notch example of how a genuinely informative and useful councillor's blog should be done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30598467.post-7077266131294947772008-08-20T09:28:00.000+00:002008-08-20T09:28:00.000+00:00Can you draw back the Wizard of Oz curtain and tel...Can you draw back the Wizard of Oz curtain and tell us a bit more about how your top 20 was arrived at, Jim?<BR/><BR/>What weighting, if any, did you give to comments/flourishing dialogue on a blog?

I think it's very important to engage with other bloggers and those who comment here.<BR/><BR/>I also went through a phase of answering everything and I began to worry that, as I did have control over the main articles, perhaps I shouldn't talk too much in the commnets section and have tried to draw back a little - and then of course I worry that this might appear rude!<BR/><BR/>I guess it partly depends on how many commnets a particular post is getting. If it's lots you can step back a bit but if it's just one or two it's much easier to give a quick reply without freeling you're stifling anything.<BR/><BR/>I probably think about these things too much. However, I definately think that green blogging has more of a community around it than it did two years ago when I first started out.<BR/><BR/>At least that's my impression.Jim Jeppshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410387006098326671noreply@blogger.com
