You did a very well-- I'm trying to encourage the others! I think the "ruler" that Ann is referring to is on the main blog page (with all the posts instead of the single post). It's right above the first post and lets you move a slider from right to left. You could also navigate to <a href="http://www.minthegap.com/category/uncategorized/">http://www.minthegap.com/category/uncategorized/</a> and that would show you the uncategorized like you were used to seeing them, I assume.

I'm used to coming here directly from my site feed of your blog...clicking on certain posts. Guess that's why I've not seen it before! Thanks! Wow, there it is, clear as can be.

Thanks!

TIA. MIn, what? Looking for more commenters by way of me? I'll have to dig deeper! Btw, just as an introduction, Jana is my best friend who lives way up north...she's an awesome lady of God with a heart for foster care and a FULL house at the moment with 6 living there and one away at college...Rhonda is my new crit partner on this fiction writing journey I find myself on...and Beth is her friend who came here at Rhonda's request for me. Sweet, huh. Gina is another good friend I made from the American Christian Fiction Writer's website...she owns the Writer...Interrupted webring at which I occasionally post! Amy...I'm not sure how I know Amy. I'm suspecting that Rhonda sent her here for me as well. I'll have to ask! Hey, Stephen, thanks for the invite, I’ll have to stop by soon. :O)

When the all time numbers start to creep up to about 50 posts or so, I'll change it to monthly. Unfortunately if I set it to monthly now, I don't get a top 5 commentators - only a top 4!

What's the time scale for your comments? Mary, yes you are keeping me busy. I'm still looking for more commenters! I though it was a little tacky to have so many uncategorized posts, and taking that category away means that as I get to them, they are appropriately filed. Ann-- that's slick. I was wondering how you were still finding old posts to post on. I can tell you guys are going to have fun when the adventure begins. :) Stephen, I think I returned the favor– and reign #1. What’s the time scale for your comments?

There are many treasures there, in the beginning, sitting there like orphans, no comments at all :) Mary, just draw the ruler up on the main page, to chose a fairly old page of the blog.

I bet we're keeping you pretty busy, moderating all these new commentors (that Rebecca and I are bringing to the blog...)...juggling the comment war winners back and forth...and btw, where did your uncategorized posts disappear to?

I think what Mary's trying to say is that if you go comment crazy all in one day, 30 days from now those will disappear and it'll be a huge drop. Now, if you're a consistent commenter, then you don't have much to fear, because the number you lose in a day will be roughly what you do in a day. BUT if you're in the habit of posting sporadically with a ton of posts, that one day 30 days from now can be a big one-- just to maintain the position you have! In any case, there's definitely an advantage to being on top-- you regulars know that this site is laid out in a special way for the top two-- and you are prominently displayed!
