Our seventh full month since we moved from Blogger was another good one, with improvements in every category, except page views.  That one would have increased had I not been AWOL  due to a health problem.<\/font><\/p>\n

There\u2019s some linkey-love in return  The best ways you can publicize Politics Plus is to use the share button at the bottom of each post to list our articles on the the sites where you belong, and to quote PP articles on your own blogs.  The operative commandment here is \u201cthou shalt steal.\u201d<\/strong>  We\u2019re on the same side here, so I won\u2019t mind.  Even if you want to repost a whole article, that\u2019s OK.  Just link back, please.<\/font><\/p>\n

Technorati<\/a> increased our global Technorati Authority from 497 to 523.  That puts us solidly on the A list.  Our topical ratings are 595 (US Politics), 593 (Politics) and 480 (World). Never in my wildest dreams did I foresee success at this level.  Sure I like the recognition, but my ego is not what this is about.  The more recognition we get, the more effect we can have toward ending the right-wing insanity.<\/font><\/p>\n

We have 77,704 links on other websites, up from 47,131 last month.<\/font><\/p>\n

We have 1,449 posts and 10,845 comments, as of midnight 10\/1.<\/font><\/p>\n

If you are tired of our wacky avatars and would like your own avatar, go to<\/font> Gravatar<\/a>.  Sign up using the email address you use to post comments here and upload the image you want to use.  Whenever you comment under that e mail address here or on any WordPress blog (several others too), that will be your avatar.<\/font><\/p>\n

I\u2019m ecstatic our progress, and thank you for it.  This success belongs to all of us.  Several people have told me that a main factor that brings them back is the quality of the replies to the messages, so this goodness is your fault too.  Give yourselves a hand.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
