14 and 6

Congrats to Uptown Update, good neighbor and friend just down the road a piece. You're number 14. Say, The Bench is on that list too! Welcome to the Top 20, kids. See: Uptown Update Named 14th Most Influential Political Blog In Illinois NOTE: "BlogNetNews' Blogosphere Influence Rating combines a variety of data sets to determine which blogs are most powerfully influencing the direction of the Illinois political blogosphere. The exact method BNN uses to calculate influence scores must remain proprietary in order to prevent attempts to game the system. BNN's methodology takes into account the fact that all Internet data is profoundly limited in its reliability by using multiple data sets that, when combined, reveal a fair picture of activity in the blogosphere." ~BlogNetNews
