UPDATE: Apparently BNN had a few bugs in their rankings, so I have rewritten this post to reflect their actual rankings for this week.
If you haven’t been on Blognetnews.com (BNN) lately, you need to have a look. BNN has totally redesigned their site and it looks fantastic! There are a few bugs, but that is to be expected with such a massive redesign.
While we are on the subject of BNN, their latest “California’s Most Influential Political Blog” rankings are out tonight. Orange Juice is #4 – ahead once more of our OC GOP machine counterparts at the Red County/OC Blog, which is at #5, while our friends at the Liberal OC are #1. Calitics stayed in the top 5, at #2, while Orange Punch came in at #3. There are a total of seven OC based blogs in the top 20.
Our top stories this week, according to Google Analytics, included:
- The nerve of some people (185 page views)
- SunCal displacing hundreds of poor families in Santa Ana (184 page views)
- Food fight breaks out at Orange Street Fair! (170 page views)
- Santa Ana City Council raises water rates (138 page views)
- City of Santa Ana launches another red herring – medicinal pot (138 page views)
- Supervisor Nguyen explains how Santa Ana could have more libraries (117 page views)
- MacArthur teachers protest (113 page views)
- Can you think of any others? (97 page views)
- Tran cabal hurting Garden Grove businesses on Main St. (80 page views)
- Ideas for Santa Ana: the new Zoo (74 page views)
Thanks as always to our loyal readers and our co-bloggers for helping us make the BNN Top 5 again!
Perhaps your heavy emphasis on things Hispanic is working against your ranking in the blog world because it is of interest to a narrower readership than otherwise might be. Comment moderation on the part of the bloggers to better appeal to a diverse readership might pay off.
Poster 1,
I don’t think so. Thomas Gordon does a good job of countering my views, as does Larry once in awhile. If anything you get a better range of views here than you do anywhere else.
I try to write about what is in the news, or about things I find out about from my flock of pajaritos, but this past week was just a slow week in some respects, and some of my writers have been busy with other things.
I am by the way looking to add another Reep to our blog team…
Maybe there is someone in Janet’s camp who would do it.
ask her. A community activist would be perfect. Or an up and coming community leader.
Art, perhaps it’s time to go to your old friend Tim Whitacre and invite him back into the fold. If you ask him in a kind way he just might agree.
