I thought there was an English list as well?
Could you do a button for top 200 overall blogs? :-)))
How about some awards for blog commentators - you bloggers would be no where at all without us! The anon guy is pretty good if a little inconsistent.
I'd like a button that states that the blog is one of the top 100 overall blogs, if poss.
Northern Ireland? is our flag too controversial?
Wonlotsane, I explained this on another thread. Of the Top 100, 89 are based in England, so the list is more or less identical.
Blue Eyes, your wish... The button for Top 200 is now shown.
Heresiach, er there is one. It's at the top.
Chekov. I will see if Mike can do another one. As there was only a Top 10 list, it seemed an extravagence to do one which only one or two of those might use.
Many thanks Iain / mIke. Hands across the UK and all that! ;-)
What about the top parliamentary blogs?
So it's another case of England is too big, let's call it Britain? I thought you were opposed to that sort of thing Iain?
What about a 'Didn't want to take part' badge?
As someone else has pointed out, is it really wise to have what looks rather like a Red Hand of Ulster in the Northern Ireland button?

Iain,
It would be interesting to see a list of Top 100 Labour and Top 100 Conservative Blogs to go with the Top 50 LibDem Blogs. Having a quick flick-through of the "right of centre" top 100 I'd say at least a third (if not more) are politically-unaligned or at least non-Conservative. I assume it is similar for the left of centre list. Is this possible?
Regards,
Iain

Probably important to say (before Dave Cole and Sadie have heart attacks) that we are not party aligned as an overall blog.

Thanks Iain, much appreciated. :)
Mr Dale,
His Grace is most delighted to see that he is No6 on this list, which has not previously been disclosed, and which says rather more than the 'right of centre' list into which, presumably, you would place a BNP or Nazi blog.
His Grace now humbly requests a 'Top 100 Conservatives Blogs' button, for he would rather promote his political philosophy than the increasingly meaningless 'right wing'.
Sincere blessings.
+Cranmer
That was most quick and efficient.
Bless you.
Well, Iain, I've no idea what the difference is supposed to be between a "Conservative" and a "Right-of-centre" blog anyway. How are these things decided? Does one have to be a member of the party? (as to the designation "right-wing", that has rather unpleasant connotations that I would shy away from).
Can I use the Conservative badge?
Well worth it! Thanks Iain!
