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.

Since some other members of the ScienceBlogs collective are doing it, link whore that I am, I couldn't resist putting my blog into this site and seeing where it ranked.
And here's the result:
With 516 links in the last 180 days, Technorati places http://scienceblogs.com/insolence in the very high…

PZ asked his students these questions on an exam that he was recently writing;
14. Hey! Have you noticed the lack of women scientists so far? Briefly speculate about why they're missing.

I actually care little about Paris Hilton's antics. I find it difficult to become interested in someone's career when the origins of that career are based on a sex tape that shows that she performs oral sex poorly. There I said it. I have seen that tape, and Paris Hilton is not gifted. Not that…
And who can blame them? Technorati, if you're unfamiliar with it, is one of those services that watches activity on the web, and then puts up metrics and ranks and scores, and tries to distill the flux into something simpler and more comprehensible, which often reduces to telling you how many…
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....
Hey, I got a Paris Hilton myself. Will not post on my blog, A-list or not!
Isn't Celeblogger a better word. Bloglebrity makes my tounge fall out on the table and cringe in pain.
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
I know I'm supposed to despise Paris Hilton.
Everybody gets Paris Hilton (there's a metaphor there, that floozy). You just get different letters in the pink puffy star.
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?
Zeta-list? That has connotations of the alien conspiracy theories doesn't it?
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.
"Celeblogger" (it sounds like Quenya)? "Bloglebrity"?
I thought that concept already had a word: "Blogstar".
` So, is this like, how popular it is or something?
If you get a D-list ranking it should include a picture of Kathy Griffin.
I tried it, and it says I'm a D list blogger.
I'm a C-list blogger. Oh well...
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?
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!
Whooo! C-list blogger, baby!
Is there anything lower than D-list? If so, should I be celebrating?
In public opinion polls, athiests are worse off than even D-list bloggers. :)
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.
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?!!
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
I got C-list.
...Who's Paris Hilton?
Does GWB have a blog? He might proudly display a "C".
LOL again! You're milking this glyph for all it's worth!
I posted it. Frankly, I'm shocked I'm on any list.
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.
I would have gone with
bAlist
Huh. I'm a C-List blogger. I thought for sure I'd have the Z-List all to myself...
I totally thought that was really dumb too. I should have made that clearer in my post. Boo to Paris, BOO!
