MamaBlogga’s Top 10

Whether you’re just visiting MamaBlogga for the first time or are an old friend, you may have missed some of the fun things that have been going on here. Here are the top ten most popular posts on MamaBlogga from June.

rockin' girl blogger And more news: I want to thank Michelle of Scribbit and MommyZabs for nominating me as a Rockin’ Girl Blogger! Thank you both, ladies!

Now I’m supposed to nominate five more rockin’ girl bloggers (I hope that being nominated twice doesn’t mean I have to make it 10!). Man, that’s tough (especially since Michelle and Elizabeth both would have been on my list if they hadn’t nominated me!).

Kasie Sallee, ~the art of life~. She’s on a mission to connect with other Artist Moms and offer support and encouragement. As a blogger with a mission, I love other bloggers with a mission!
Shawn of Letters to my Daughters, in large part because I stopped by today and loved what I read of her interview with Karen Maezen Miller. And Shawn—zen to me is pausing to think while tickling your children, “This is it.” (I’m actually posting on something similar this week, so check in again!)
Karen Andrews of Miscellaneous Adventures of an Aussie Mum. I’m excited for your redesign! I just unveiled a new design on MamaBlogga today (okay, so I just changed it to a three column layout), so I know how you feel!
Wendy Piersall of eMoms at Home, even though I’m sure she already knows she is!
And of course, my perennial favorites: like a clear blue sky by a good friend of mine 😉 and Leezy Lindsey, by another good friend of mine. (You should both post A LOT more. What? You have lives? Pfft.)

Thank you again!!

My post Five Things Moms Do Right has been nominated for GNMParents’ Hot Stuff! About the award:

Here are your nominees for this week’s Hot Stuff. They’re each an example of the kind of parenting we think is important here at GNMP. So, pour a cup of coffee or tea [or water], slip into your comfy zone, and spend some time reading each of this week’s nominees. Then, vote. After that, maybe a nice walk with your kids.

Now, I’m not going to ask you to vote for me. It’s just now how I roll. However, I will ask you to go read through all of these awesome posts and vote for which ever one you like best. And if it’s mine, then great!

Not familiar with GNMParents? They’re all about positive parenting. Or, as they put it, “We believe parenting (that is to say, positive parenting) is the key to happiness, because it provides children with a base of comfort, which allows them to grow. Our focus on parenting has everything to do with creating a better, safer, more pleasant society.”

Thank you to whomever nominated me!

For the updated version of this list, see Popular Parent and Mom Bloggers.

Inspired by Todd And’s Power 150, a listing of the top English language marketing blogs, I compiled my own set of ranking factors to create a list of Popular Parent Bloggers. Did you make the list? Here they are, ranked in order of popularity:

* indicates blogs that I have read quite a bit and/or subscribe to.

Download the OPML file to subscribe to all these blogs in a feed reader like Bloglines or Google Reader. (While you’re at it, subscribe to MamaBlogga for a chance to win!)

Ranking factors
The Popular Parent Bloggers ranking is based on:

Technorati ranking
Number of blogs linking to your blog
Number of MyBlogLog community members
Number of Bloglines subscribers
Google PageRank (just for the heck of it)
The number of comments received in a week (weighted most heavily; I picked the last week in March 2007 to make it all equal).

Made the list?
Congratulations!
