By way of Feministing, here’s a rather irritating tool to rank your site for it’s “bloglebrity”. It’s pink and it’s illustrated with a photo of Paris Hilton.
I hate it. Here, I’ve fixed it.
You can add your own photo of Barbara McClintock or Rosalind Franklin to the background.

I tried it, and it says I’m a D list blogger. Wahhhhh!!! There goes my chances of being the mext Mark Steyn. Well, okay, I’d also have to be a narrowminded git as well, but still….
coturnix says
Hey, I got a Paris Hilton myself. Will not post on my blog, A-list or not!
Magnus says
Isn’t Celeblogger a better word. Bloglebrity makes my tounge fall out on the table and cringe in pain.
Mike says
Paris Hilton huh?
I’d do it, but I really don’t think that my blog would be accentuated with the inevitable Rhea Perlman ranking that I’d get…..
:P
Stephen Erickson says
I know I’m supposed to despise Paris Hilton.
PZ Myers says
Everybody gets Paris Hilton (there’s a metaphor there, that floozy). You just get different letters in the pink puffy star.
Jenn says
What a dumb rating system! Why the heck would anyone want to display a grade of “C” or “D” on their blog on a big poofy Barbie star?
“Look Mom, I got a D!!!” Hello?
andy says
Zeta-list? That has connotations of the alien conspiracy theories doesn’t it?
The Disgruntled Chemist says
I’m apparently a B-list blogger. No picture of Paris Hilton for me, though – I got some unidentified female celebrity about to slam some guy’s head into a parking meter.
Seriously.
I don’t know if my B-list status means I should be slammed headfirst into things, or if I get to kick ass and take names, or if people should put change into my blog.
MartÃn Pereyra says
“Celeblogger” (it sounds like Quenya)? “Bloglebrity”?
I thought that concept already had a word: “Blogstar”.
Spoony Quine says
` So, is this like, how popular it is or something?
jackd says
If you get a D-list ranking it should include a picture of Kathy Griffin.
rlrr says
I tried it, and it says I’m a D list blogger.
I’m a C-list blogger. Oh well…
grendelkhan says
Am I the only person who can’t help but think of Alex Louis Armstrong, the Strong-Arm Alchemist, when I see that first icon?
Joshua says
Don’t you all mean blagebrity?
grendel: I didn’t at first, but yeah. Totally.
PZ’s blogging skills have been passed down through his family for generations!
Jeff Fecke says
Whooo! C-list blogger, baby!
AustinAtheist says
Is there anything lower than D-list? If so, should I be celebrating?
Rick @ shrimp and grits says
In public opinion polls, athiests are worse off than even D-list bloggers. :)
Rick @ shrimp and grits says
athiests should, of course, be atheists.
I blame either the sleep deprivation or the pain of looking at puffy, pink stars with letters in them.
decrepitoldfool says
I checked and got C-list… perfect. Now the principle won’t notice me and I can just slide on by until graduation. Wait… that was 40 years ago? Crap, where did the time go?!!
AustinAtheist says
In public opinion polls, athiests are worse off than even D-list bloggers. :)
I’ll take that as a no, I should not be celebrating. :p
Bronze Dog says
I got C-list.
…Who’s Paris Hilton?
Rick @ shrimp and grits says
Does GWB have a blog? He might proudly display a “C”.
Elayne Riggs says
LOL again! You’re milking this glyph for all it’s worth!
JackGoff says
I posted it. Frankly, I’m shocked I’m on any list.
Kristine says
Are we just supposed to do ours?
Overwhelming Evidence D-List
Uncommon Descent B-List
Mindful Hack D-List
Amused Muse C-List (damn!)
At least I’m honest. And I could be the (blogging) president.
And I have intelligence that UD is developing spurt-free cherry Bizmarcks. I have a plan.
SpringheelJ says
I would have gone with
bAlist
Wally Whateley says
Huh. I’m a C-List blogger. I thought for sure I’d have the Z-List all to myself…
Samhita says
I totally thought that was really dumb too. I should have made that clearer in my post. Boo to Paris, BOO!
