I wondered if anyone…

I wondered if anyone else noticed, and “hubs & spokes” has. Namely that the nifty little Blogging Ecosystem run by N.Z. Bear has been flaky over the past few months. I’d reliably been a “Marauding Marsupial” for quite some time, but at one point I think he made some changes–most notably the addition of graphs of your blog’s position–and things started going haywire. (My ecosystem status is here.) What’s worse, the graphs themselves pointed this out. Well, the graphs stopped happening. Then I got an Instalanche recently and got promoted to a “Large Mammal” for a little while there (partially for the traffic, partially for folks who’d linked to the Instalanched post). Since then, however, I’ve been on a de-evolutionary spiral down to “Flappy Bird” as of yesterday. Today, all of a sudden, I went on a meteoric rise back up to “Large Mammal”. While I’m pleased, it’s wild swings are making the ecosystem less of a gauge worth looking at.

Yeah, it’s just an ego booster, and my sister (who gets a kick out of asking me if I’m still a “marauding marsupial”) finds it rather silly. She’s right, but it’s nifty. Hope it gets to feeling better soon.
