I have tried to signup, no luck so far. The page says the link will show up in a half hour, it's been past that. We'll see...

Thanks so much for adding yours! You too, dibocc!

In order to prevent spam sites and dead links, you have to reach the list through a link on your blog for it to be listed.

Every half hour - nobody's added their blogs in the last day. I've sent e-mails to the authors of 40 blogs, but not many have responded.

Please, everyone, this project will only work if a lot of people add theirs. It doesn't take long to do, and if we get at least a hundred, it'll be a really neat list.

A big thanks to everyone who's already joined!

I've added my blog but it took nearly 24 hours to update.

How are the rankings done? Is it according to technorati rank or some other configuration?

I have to work out how to add a banner and find something to add. That's next on my list...

Your blog is displayed no more than 30 minutes after someone comes to the toplist via a link on your blog. Until then, it isn't shown.

The rankings are done based on how many unique visitors come to the toplist through your blog. If your blog is well-liked among writers with a lot of traffic, chances are more people will click the link on your blog, and your rank will go up.

This is the current ranking method, in order to get more publicity for the list. Once we get a lot of sites, we'll likely add user ratings and have them ranked that way. But at the moment, there aren't enough people and it would be too easy for a group of friends to get together and abuse that method.

sorry, but this isn't true. i put the link on my website about 36 hours ago and immediately clicked the link so it would update - it didn't. i clicked it again a couple of times yday and it still didn't update. finally this morning it has updated!

the ranking system sounds good...

Strange. I'm not sure why. That didn't happen with my blog and the other folks on the list I know well. I even tested the list's efficiency with my own blog several times before making it public. Maybe the server was slow that day...I don't know. Sorry about that.
