In short, you link to Your Top 5 blog posts of all time, discuss them briefly, and then you tag 5 others to do the same.
You can rank them any way you want - by the number of comments, or by the number of hits, or just by your own personal judgment.
This accomplishes a few things.
1. It shows you where you’ve enabled discussion in the blogosphere.
2. It allows others to see what’s made your blog successful.
3. It fosters the debate on how we ought to rank a blog’s popularity (by comments, clicks, incoming links or subjective evaluation).
4. It introduces new readers to your blog.
5. It summarizes your blog.
Here are my top five blog entries of all time, ranked rather subjectively:
1. Flame Suck! Believe it or not, people google the term flames and suck quite a bit.
2. Hate Telus? Vent Here Many people hate Telus and are willing to expound on their bad experiences.
3. The Diesel KLR 650 Motorbike A long time ago, I blogged a military contract for diesel-powered Kawasaki dirtbikes. The manufacturers emailed me back. I simply posted the email, with a picture. You can read more about this bike HERE.
4. The Great Canadian Blog Survey. My second meme. I challenged 1000 bloggers and readers to complete a 25-question survey on blogging. Then I wrote a paper on the subject.
5. Grandinite’s 40 Most Annoying Canadians. A list of all the Canadians who annoy me the most. It got me some press.
So, there you have it. If you blog this, be sure to post a comment or a trackback.
