Merry Christmas peeps! The Electronic Villager and his elves were busy over the holiday weekend compiling the latest edition of the Black Blog Rankings while I was enjoying some classic Christmas songs with soul. This month there were 1496 blogs ranked, only one less than last month. But seeing how popular these rankings are and how they've come to be viewed as a highly anticipated event in the Blackosphere and a valuable tool to monitor the progress of Black blogs, I have no doubts the January edition will crack the 1500 blog mark.
Top Black blog is Pam's House Blend. You can check out the rest of the Top Ten and Top 25 blogs at Electronic Village.
Okay, so did I reach either one of my goals of cracking the BBR Top 50 and having a Technorati ranking of 150?
As of the December 1 date of these posted rankings, the number 50 BBR ranked blog is survey says, TransGriot! 
I jumped up 13 spots from last month's rankings and the Technorati ranking went up 11 points as well. I have as of this date a Technorati ranking of 143. I'm only 7 points and 30 days away from meeting my Technorati goal of 150 by January 1. Seeing that I've finally hit the Top 50 BBR blogs, I've set my sights for my next goals.
I want to be at a Technorati Ranking of 200 and in the Top 25 BBR blogs by my May 4 birthday. If I get there sooner, I definitely won't complain.
Now where's my champagne bottle?
Oh yeah, killed it last month celebrating Barack's election. Champale will do nicely, too.
