    The titles say alot and the whole Cosmo magazine approach seems very effective. Perhaps b/c it’s to the point and people know what they are getting in terms of numbered or bulleted blog, which is perhaps easier to read and for scanning over purposes.
    Good job!

    “I was just looking at something on Yahoo! Site Explorer and realized that I could pluck from it the 50 most linked to posts on my site without a lot of heavy lifting.”

    Really? To do this correctly with Yahoo, I think you need to take each individual URL for every single blog article and then put each URL into Yahoo one at a time and see what the results are. Is that what you did? You probably have 100+ articles, you put each URL into Yahoo one at a time? Wow. You have much more tolerance for heavy lifting than I do!
