I suppose this is really an apology. I’m sorry I haven’t blogged more in the last couple of weeks. If the truth be told, I have things I intend to say but have no time to do so. I have been running around like a mad thing trying to sort out this Lenten/Easter malarkey. I’m also trying to write an essay for the MA I erroneously started to do at the beginning of the academic year. On top of this I have spent the last two and a half weeks suffering a lot of chest pain with what the doctor said is “probably a bit of pleurisy”. Orange tablets and paracetamol all the way! So to those of you who read my blog regularly, I will try to be better at it in the future.
That aside I received an email today and this is the subject of my fail. The email came from wikio who rank blogs. I know nothing about the way in which they rank them but the heart did a little leap at the prospect that it may mean something. With a rush of blood to the head I placed the little badge that says the ranking at the top of the left column. Then I realised I was an idiot. Self congratulations based upon something I don’t even understand? Learn From My Fail people! LFMF!!

Changing Worship 
Sorry to hear things are tough at the mo, it seems to be in the blogging air.
I’m with you in that I don’t advertise my blog rankings for anything. Becoming that way focussed becomes counter productive at best.
It took me a while to break my stats obssession.
Thanks. I’m doing my best to keep going without moving too much.
I don’t really see how it changes anything. What do we actually learn. The purpose of my blog is not to promote anything – I’m not a photographer trying to make a living out of photography for example, I am a follower trying to make life easier for others by sharing what I’ve got. What could stats possibly tell me?
Bingo. That’s exactly my sentiment. I fell into the trap of thinking that the more visitors, the more ‘successful’ the blog. But successful by who’s standards…Gods?
Probably not.
