Thanks, anyway, Paisie, for perusing Edublogs themes, and listing those you’d found that afford comments on pages (The Edublogger, 2009.01.30).

Though still relatively unfiltered, the sites Larry has listed undoubtedly deserve a closer look. Thanks to Joao for pointing this out in a Learning with Computers bookmark (2008.12.21).

(I may even have one on this blog, but I’m reluctant to look before I complete this post.)

What grabbed my attention on second glance was that a third blog, one I use with writing classes, currently manifests (according to Technorati) greater authority than the nearest peer linking to it:

The Writing Studio Blog · Authority: 45

Though I am hardly surprised that ELT notes (Authority: 20) surpassed this blog (Authority: 1), I was almost shocked to discover that the writing course blog had leapt suddenly into the double-digits.

Any ideas how Technorati construes authority, or where I might find out?
