I stumbled upon a post over at Classical Convert<\/a> which has published lists of the Top 50 Classical Music Blogs using four different metrics – most of which don’t mean that much to me. However, I was please to see that this blog has cracked the top 50 in 3 out of the 4 lists!<\/p>\n

Google Reader Subscriptions method: #41<\/p>\n

Technorati Authority Score method: #40<\/p>\n

Google Incoming Links method: #49<\/p>\n

And ACD over at Sounds & Fury<\/a> posted his own methodology which listed DA at #49.<\/p>\n

To this I owe you many thanks for reading, linking, and re-visiting my blog over the past year.<\/p>\n

As I’ve said before, I don’t write this blog for fame or fortune, but just as a way of providing some badly-needed therapy, and it’s gratifying that it just so happens to be a place that you come to for whatever you come here for!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
