how does a person find out what number they are in the popularity list?  so far I cant even find my name on the list.

It might be interesting if we could have Avatars, as used in other forums, so people could put their own personal 'image' against their blogs.  The Avatar could then also be shown against the blog on the home page or in the category pages, just to give them a bit of a personal touch.

I mentioned it in my Bad Dad Monologues blog; don't know if others think this would be fun/interesting or not.

I seem to be getting the following error more and more regularly as I visit BN.  Quite often it kicks up just as I hit the Save & Post button.  Does anybody else get this error, or is this something that you are aware of?

When I go to read my *new comments* it kinda stinks that there is only one page of it.. 2 would be better because sometimes people start having entire conversations in a person's comment section and it drives all of the other comments off the page...

Please help--- I don't want to miss any more comments and with 26 blogs.. I can't go through them all individually

Thank you.

about gays and blacks?  i am quite offended to read words like that on here.  I can tel you one thing - i did not click on those blogs -- and i never will

these are his latest titles.  they are NOT linked - I think using offensive remarks regarding sexuality and race just to get a few 'controversial clicks' is sick and pandering.  I don't mind and respect opposing views of mine - but this is just uncalled for.  No matter what he might be saying in his blogs are regardless.  What is clear is that this blogger is using hate in his titles to spark clicks.

Homosexuality Is Sick And Disgusting; One Of The Worst Perversions There Is

I Do NOT Like Blacks! They Are The Most Pathetic Group Of People In The US!

Q #1: How does a blog become a "featured" blog on the home page?

Q #2: The number that appears after rank for your blog, is that your rank in that category it's listed in or is that your rank over all blogs throughout the entire site?
