Ignorance is Bliss

It's all his fault. I was happy in my ignorance until he informed me that I was a Marauding Marsupial in the TTLB Ecosystem and moving up. At that moment the scales fell from my eyes and I began to see the blogosphere in a whole new light.

Before, I was happy with the number of visits I was receiving each day and I didn't even think about links to my site. Now I spend my time wondering, how can I become a Mortal Human or, dare I say it? A Higher Being...

Since that fateful day I've become a Large Mammal but it's not enough. To make matters worse, I ranked as high as 403 back on May 8th but now I've fallen to a weasely 532! It's almost more than I can bear.

I made the mistake of looking to see which weblogs rank higher than me. How depressing. I don't want to name any names since I doubt that would do much for my blogging popularity. There are some very deserving blogs ranked above mine, and also, some very rotten ones...but I'm not going to let that get me down. No, sireee.

I had high hopes for The Blogdom of God Interviews. Not only is it an interesting project but it also seems like the kind of thing that would be popular. Sadly, I'm now waiting on pins and needles for a few errant bloggers (who shall remain nameless) to return their interview answers. I realize they have day jobs that actually pay the bills and everything, but what could be more important? (I know, it's all about me.)

Besides continuing to keep things up to date and attempting to write witty or otherwise profound posts, I have another idea. I think I'll try one of those little button thingys like a lot of sites have. If you like this blog and you're a really nice person, you could consider putting one of my little buttons as a link on your blog.

There are a few choices below. I'd like some feedback on them and, more importantly, I'd like you to use them for linking to yours truly. As a link, feel free to use either of the following urls:
www.stillmanvalley.org/aoo/
or
www.armyofone.org

This is the petite one for those of you with very little room.

This is the elegant yet tasteful, full sized one.

I think this one looks the coolest, but it might not appeal to some.

So, I'll try this button linking thing. Mortal Human here I come...I hope.
