“played dirty” or got “handed the keys to the kingdom” on a platter.
quirky-girl
can't imagine how either one of those would help propel you. i doubt anyone can get handed anything, and playing dirty don't get anyone anywhere in the end. Too much responsibility for me to aspire to but I'll click you guys that are willing to assume it and cheer you on. When my numbers go up a little i figure people must be interested in reading what I'm writing, which is always nice, and when they go down i figure they are either not interested or i'm not putting out worthwhile stuff. I just get a kick out of sitting back and watching it all unfold. I wouldn't trade my spot with Ari's, she has to always be on her toes and always putting something out there for us to sink our teeth into...all you guys in the top 10 are awesome if you ask me! Congrats and good luck!

Quirky
i don`t really see that there is ever a chance for the No1 spot and it is very plain to see to me after a mnth and 1/2 now that it is a placed that is never changed and never alters, that`s why i don`t even bother worrying about it, coz no-way will i be on it, so for me i don`t really focus on it yeah i have seen and noticed the changes every so often, but they certainly don`t really influence or bother me at all i`m just enjoying where i am, and just being here is good enough for me, whilst t hose few meezly pennies are growing at least that`s a nice bonus even if it is a lifetimes wait for the amount to be HUGE!!! lol as if. i`m just luvin it.xxx

Things are always a bit tense, when there is change at the top. It's an odd dynamic. Then it passes. So write Quirky write.

Congrats for sitting at the top, Quirky. The big struggle just may be trying to stay there. You can do it but, I'm sure you know, it is going to take quite a commitment. If you let down for even a day, someone will take it away from you. Keep writing.

Congrats Quirky,
This goes to show that hard work pays off. Still, I'm not comfortable with what I've seen around here in the past couple of days.

i agree
after reading my own blog, i am often confused as to why i haven't been #1 for quite some time now. it is very peculiar to me. i mean, it really is an all around delight to read. it's got it all.
but ive got to hand it to you. i've never even been in the top 10. congrats.

I wouldn't want the responsibility of being #1, and having to keep you lot in order!
Talk about the cane ; one would need a stun gun for that!

being Nr1 is not the most important to me...
only the content of your posts matters as far as i am concerned...

Was it Paul Newman or Groucho Marx
who said I wouldnt join any club that would have me as a member?
The responsibility of being #1 would be too much for this Brit of little brain to deal with. I'd be happy just to be on page 1 now and then :)
well done though !

Hmmm...I think that was my comment. Congratulations on reaching No.1 though of course if my "ideal" Blogit were to take off your time there would be short-lived :-) and things would be less intense around here. Anyhow enjoy it.

Okay Quirky!
If I could share one with you though? Do you tip glasses with someone who's not anywhere near the top 10??

Quirky.. I enjoy your posts. I havn't even concidered being #1
I do know that I wouldn't be happy with that honor unless I felt that I had earned it. Thanks for your comment on my post...

seems to be a lot of hate in your comment area... that's really sad.
I think number one should be whoever gets there... on their own with no ploys. It's really pretty simple.

At this point, I think it'd be odd if Ariala wasn't #1 consistently!
I guess I've just gotten used to it and really don't expect to see anyone else there. You've gotta admit, there aren't as many people as dedicated to updating their blogs like she is! That's what keeps her blogs up in the rankings.

Q-A, I'm sure you are more than proud at being in the top 10. last month
I cheatedmy way up to number 10 for four out of six days, I was so ecstatic that I e-mailed Yuri on her honeymoon. "Hey, I made the top ten." She called me several weeks later to say that she was going to Mexico if i needed her to call her cell, and wish me luck on the Blogit! What a girl. You too!

Guess I Am Lost
I don't see myself hitting #1 anytime soon and I don't particularly strive for it. I will admit it would be nice to know that I am able to write something that others feel is worth the read. Then again I am not overly competitive which has gotten me screwed over a few times in life LOL!

MsQ...one size bigger, now, that's all.....I didn't mean to shout....but, really, all you single bloggers on this medium....don't you think, if you had someone paying your bills, like msA, and could sit and blog all day, without children and pets and parents and JOBS and bill collectors and other assorted life-flotsam-and-jetsam, like real LIVES to get in way,...
Don't you guys think you deserve to, dare I say it, knock the bitch from her perch?
I really resent her recent blog about how she was gonna 'step aside' so someone else could have the #1 spot!
I will say it: I do not like MsA, and she knows it, I told her so privately........I do not read her blogs, unless she resorts to 'click-whore' tactics and I am drawn in.....by a Bogus, 'click whore' headline......
There, I have said it!

The simple reason why Ariala has continued to be Number one
For these many months and years is that she is an extension of the main computer program that runs Blogit...She's not a real human! How many times I gotta tell you guys this?
