Holy Blog Exposure, Batman!

6 Replies

I got myself listed in the Blogdom of God alliance. Like any obsessed blogger, I check my incoming links frequently. Imagine my surprise when I when from 33 links to over 300! Now, TTLB lists me as a Large Mammal. Obviously, that greatly exaggerates my real ability to influence. Ales Rarus has grown by leaps and bounds over the last few months, but I’m still a nobody. This got me thinking.

Getting additional blog exposure is great, but what’s the cost? TTLB Ecosystem was set up to help people keep track of their influence and popularity. With alliance blogrolls listing hundreds of people we might never visit, has the system lost its meaning or usefulness?

What are your thoughts? Do you belong to an alliance? Run one? What’s your take?

There are by some estimates more than 3 million weblogs. But most of them get no
visibility in search engines. Only a few “A-List” blogs get into the top
search engine results for a given topic, while the majority of blogs just don’t
get noticed. But this posting could solve that. Let’s help the smaller blogs get
more visibility!

Conversations on the Catechism: “I Believe” – “We Believe”

"There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church, which is, of course, quite a different thing." – Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

A recent post by Jollyblogger got me thinking. He’s trying to start a League of Reformed Bloggers with an eventual Carnival of the Reformed. I’ve seen a few "merely" Christian and Protestant carnivals. I haven’t seen any Catholic carnivals. Does anyone know of one? Maybe someone within St. Blog’s could organize one (I wouldn’t have a clue where to start.).

Anyhow, I’d like get people to discuss the broader issues of Catholicism (as opposed to gluten-free wafers). In particular, I’d like to invite my Protestant readers to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church. To those ends, I’m going to write posts that highlight sections of the Catechism. This will be the first.

I invite all of my Christian readers to read Part One, Section One: "I Believe" – "We Believe" (paragraphs 26 through 184). What statements do you agree with? What parts would you disagree with? Why?
