12 top 50,000 blogs!

wedding planning blog

I discovered recently that the Blue Orchid Designs blog is in the top 50,000 blogs on Technorati! Seeing as how there are 120,000 new blogs created every single day (which comes out to about 1.4 per second) and over 80 million blogs out there, this is exciting news!

Sadly I am not blessed with ESP, so Technorati is the tool I use to track who is linking to us. Thank you to everyone who has linked to us or talked about us on their blogs! Check out this list - if you're not on it and we're on your blogroll, leave a comment on that post and let me know and I will get you on there! If you want to fave us on Technorati, click here and I'll return the favor.

If you want to subscribe to our blog so that you can read it in Google reader or whatever service you use, you can do so by clicking here. You can also sign up to get our blog delivered to your email inbox. It gets delivered to you around 3 am with new blog posts (don't worry - it is automated so it can do all this while I sleep - gotta love techonology!) so that you can read our blog with your morning coffee. If you sign up for this option, you'll receive an email with a link to click on to confirm that you really want to get our blog via email. This option is perfect for those of you who work in offices with strict Internet browsing policies. Now you can still get your blog fix while you work on your TPS reports. Or whatever it is you do for your day job.

This past Thursday was "Get to Know Your Customer Day". Since I know my clients pretty well, I'd love to get to know the people who read this blog a little better. This is the perfect opportunity for you to delurk and introduce yourself if you haven't already! Leave a comment and tell me where you're reading from - I'd love to know! Also, be sure to fill in the part of the comment form that asks for your blog or website so that we can all learn more about you!

Hi Liene,
Within the past few days I started my own blog www.leighannkline.typepad.com. I am a handbag designer who designs and makes wedding purses and other special occasion bags. I'm doing research so I can post some great blogs on mine and I will be adding yours. I found your blog through thinklikeabride.blogspot.com. I had met Christine Coulton who writes that blog when I was a vendor at the Bridal Market tradeshow in Chicago last March. She wrote about me as "the Queen of Feathers" on her blog. You can check out my blog for more info about me and my bags.

Hi Liene,
We are a direct manufacturer of wedding products, specializing in save the date magnets. We will be launching our blog very soon. Being a reader of your blog, I appreciate your direct style. BTW, your 30 days to plan a wedding...amazing.

I too am obsessed with checking my Technorati hits. I try to get in touch with everyone that links to Perfect Bound. It's a great way to meet like minded bloggers. And what flattery! 48,788 is exciting news for you!! Keep it up. I love your blog. Especially the Over a Cup of Coffee. Who do you have lined up for the New Year?

Leigh-Ann - I remember reading something about the "Queen of Feathers"; I'll have to check out your blog! Thanks for posting it!

Tab and People St. Clair - thanks! I love both of your blogs. And Tab, I love the name change! :)

Heidi - congrats on launching a blog soon! It is addicting! Sometimes I second guess my direct style, but it is who I am and I don't feel I would be authentic if I tried to write the blog in a different voice. Thanks for your vote of confidence on it!

Perfect Bound - Another blogger I love! We do have some great Cup of Coffee interviews lined up for this year, but my lips are sealed! You'll just have to wait and be surprised! :)

A big congratulations to you! You certainly deserve such a title. Given the ridiclous amount of blogs out there, top 50,000 is very impressive!

A huge kudos to you on your blogging rank! I don't know how you find the time to keep this blog looking fab.
How can I see who else made the list??

the website has a list of the top 100, but other than that I think you have to look up the specific blogs to see where they rank.
