Initially, my blog was ranked at 81,000+ and today it has been raised to the 71,446 place. If the trend continues, I will reach the 50,000+ or so place, and that would put my blog within Nature's top 50 science blogs. So I guess, dear Bee, that we missed to do the right thing at the right time. :)<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>ChristineChristine Cordula Dantashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05271747374185459530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-1152500619418290162006-07-09T23:03:00.000-04:002006-07-09T23:03:00.000-04:00Bee, your writings ARE intimidating!Bee, your writings ARE intimidating!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-1152498113797404542006-07-09T22:21:00.000-04:002006-07-09T22:21:00.000-04:00QUASAR9 said...
