Mac Diva has a question I can answer:
I am pretty satisfied with this blog’s standing in the ecosystem. In its second month, it climbed into the 100s at The Truth Laid Bear and ranked 160 today.
I don’t understand why some blogs, including mine, often double list. I’ve been meaning to ask Bear.
The answer is that there are multiple URLs that work for a given blog. I had expected there would be one listing for “macaronies.blogspot.com” and another for “www.macaronies.blogspot.com”, but Bear appears to have accounted for that. Instead, it’s the difference between having a slash at the end of your blog URL and not having a slash. I’d guess that’s a bug, but without knowing Bear’s code I couldn’t say for sure.
Thanks, Charles. I have scratching my head in regard to that. Now, next question. Why are the numbers of details different?
I’m double-listed, but that’s because there are separate listings for my old Blogspot site and my current address. I’m surprised the Bear hasn’t accounted for the slash thing.

If you mean from day to day, its because Bear doesn’t just measure blogroll links: any link that is on the main page will get counted. So if you link to a specific entry for someone, it gets counted as a seperate listing.
