This week's Blog it column was inspired by the recent research done by the Pew Internet and American Life study. You'll also discover who the top five ranked blogs are according to Technorati for our area. (Yes, two of them are mine.) I also took a look at some of the other higher ranking blogs of Ohio and found some that might interest you as well.
There is of course much more awaiting you in this edition of the Toledo Free Press including Michael Miller trying to get creative with name suggestions for Toledo Express Airport. (Which I heard Brian Wilson on WSPD mention could be a future contest.) Mentally I am not prepared for the Back to School special section but I took a peek and it looks interesting. Tom Richard has some great advice as a part of his regular feature that once again I find I can use even though I'm not in sales. An excellent cover story and from the number one ranked blogger Michael Brooks, a story on a local man who had a close encounter of the shark kind also are recommended.
So pick up your copy today and enjoy the new look.

Congratulationss to you and History Mike. Both of you present a wide variety of topics and a keen perspective on life on your blogs.
As for the other two, well, I think I'll just have to pass without comment.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
No. 1 - Liberal Common Sense
No. 2 - Historymike
I had to check - you are right Matt - I guess LCS picked up two more links than Mike.
Rank: 9,210 (451 links from 236 blogs) is Liberal Common Sense
Rank: 9,349 (618 links from 233 blogs) is Mike's
Rank: 54,561 (159 links from 53 blogs) is Glass City Jungle
Rank: 57,183 (107 links from 51 blogs) is {{Matt}}
Rank: 72,602 (74 links from 42 blogs) is Pixie...

Congrats on your rankings!!!!!
You are not very far behind Maggie - you are number six:
Rank: 84,166 (64 links from 37 blogs)
Considering there are over 49 million blogs that's quite a few blogs under all of us.
:-)
wow - maybe I should read the link. :)
Actually I didn't go into a great deal of detail in the column as to how I discovered who was where - I used techorati because they rank blogs and also makes it easier to find blogs that focus on Toledo or mention Toledo so you have to weed out the Toledo Spain ones as well as those who "tag" us but don't originate from here.
But...the easiest way to see how I came up with it is:
http://www.technorati.com/blogs/Toledo
I didn't count the Russ Feingold site because the author is not from this area even though Toledo is listed as one of the "tags" as one example.
:-)
Yes, I admit I'm into the whole statistics geek factor of blogging too....However if you use technorati for that feature you can also find out who is linking to you and also at times who is writing about your blog.
Lisa - then you might want to check out sitemeter.com
I added it a couple of days ago and found that I've had people from Morocco, England and the Netherlands read my blog. It's fun to see who's stopping by and what brought them to my sight.
Most interesting one, IMHO, was the search for "administratium" from a college in Wisconsin.
I use Sitemeter and I also use Performancing because they actually do a better job in providing stats as far as which posts are being read and search engine information type referral information. It's interesting to see what brings people to our blogs. For some reason sitemeter doesn't seem to register as many visits as Performancing does but part of that is probably the way they track them.
As an example - Sitemeter says I have had 166 visitors so far today and 373 page views - but Performancing says I've had 323 visitors.
