Excerpt

Slowly the urine began to run down her legs and she sat there dreading the horror that was about to pounce on her. She knew that she should have raised her hand and asked to be excused, but she couldn't. She just sat there, frozen in her chair, fearing the worst.

Popularity rank

A blog's popularity rank is calculated using the number of unique readers each day for the past seven days. For example, if the popularity rank is 10, that means there are 9 blogs that are more popular than that blog.

"Unique readers" means that no matter how often someone reads a blog, they are only counted once when the popularity rank is calculated. This ensures fair rankings by allowing each person to only "vote" once.
