  I can't believe how much time you must have put into this (well I can really), which is why I am sending you a BIG thank you.
  
  Hope you are getting better :)
• Kim 31.1.08
  
   

  thanks Corrine !!
  I did have help (my daughter)and the "frozen shoulder" seems to be better with regular ice packs....I hope mine mends sooner rather than later as this can vary from 6 months to 3 years....
  I think I'll be starting a yoga course shortly as this is severely limiting me painting wise...and I have read that yoga is the best thing for getting my mobilisation back ...
  thanks for calling by... :)

  Hi Kim.
  That's quite a list you have put together, great stuff :)
  
  Hope your shoulder sorts itself out...I had x-rays on mine and lo and behold they have lost the x-rays! So more cortisone for the time being, but it's really not that effective lol.
  
  Technoprats...I lost all of my fav's last night but today they are back......the black hole has been opened again to swallow everything in its path!

  thanks for taking the trouble to put this list together 3rd month in a row. I'm happy to see them all on one page with links to follow :D get well soon!
• Leah 31.1.08
  
   

  thanks for all your hard work in putting the list together. it's a lot of fun to check out all these great blogs!
  
  hope your shoulder is helped by the yoga!

  Dear Kim
  This is an amazing amount of work for you - thank you so much for doing it! Especially as Technorati can be so temperamental :-(
  
  I lost all my favourites yesterday too but they they came back today - minus one! I just checked and indeed it is you that is missing! Hope yours come back too I think everyone's went awol - I checked a few others when mine disappeared.
  
  If you need any help doing this next time round (not sure how that would work but just let me know!)
  
  Diane
  Hope the shoulder is improving.

  I want to say thanks for taking the time to build this list. It must must quite an undertaking with a slow computer and a sore shoulder. Your work is so appreciated. Take care of yourself.
• Mark 31.1.08
  
   

  What a great list. Perhaps give mine for consideration in Feb? :-)

  Hey Kim, Thanks so much for doing this. I'm honored to be included! One question that I couldn't find answered on your site is how you determine the Rank and Authority and what the definition of those categories actually is. If you've already explained this, just point me to the spot. Jana
• Kim 31.1.08
  
   

  hi Colin
  maybe technorati swallowed up your x rays too !!
  this shoulder business is a pain ...literally...
  I have started your daughter's portrait and I'm hoping to have it finished in the next couple of weeks..I'm very happy with the progress so far :)
  my doctor asked me if I wanted cortisone....but have held off ...I am a needle wimp and just the procedure alone sounds pretty painful :0
  good luck with your shoulder....is it your working arm?...I know with mine that I'm actually having more strife with my good arm....
  
  
  thanks Ujwala
  I appreciate your kind comments :)
  
  
  thanks Leah ...
  I'm hoping the yoga will be a benefit...as I'm going through the list of remedies fast :)
  
  
  ha Diane...
  I don't know whether I will ever have a good relationship with Technorati after this latest gaffe !!!
  I checked mine this morning and no change...looks like it will have to be a manual job as the automatic fave program is refusing to work for me as well...
  thanks for the offer....I may take you up on that as Charlotte goes back to school on Monday...and I will be without my left hand girl ..so to speak !!!
  
  
  hi Genxster
  thanks for your kind comments :)
  I'm thinking the computer problem will be more easily fixed than the shoulder ..:)
  
  
  thanks for calling by Murad :)
  
  
  
  hi Mark ..I will add your blog to new listings today :)
  
  
  hi Janabouc ...
  you're welcome...
  if you click on the technorati link by Dorion Carroll near the bottom of this post....there is an explanation of rank and authority there
  hope this helps :)
• Sherrie York 31.1.08
  
   

  Hi, Kim... I'd like to add my kudos and appreciation for compilation of this resource. Well done! And in the spirit of playing along, may I add Brush and Baren to your radar? Thanks. :)
• Kim 31.1.08
  
   

  certainly Sherrie...and thanks for calling by ...
  I will add your blog to new listings today :)
• Julie 31.1.08
  
   

  Wow! That is a lot of blogs! What a great list! Thanks for putting it all together! Now I have lots and lots of blogs to check out.....
• Lynda Lehmann 31.1.08
  
   

  Kim, you are so dynamic, I just can't keep up with you! Thanks for compiling this list again! (I'm happy to have moved up in the ranks but I'll probably fall from lack of posting in the next couple of weeks!)
  
  I'm glad to hear the ice helps your shoulder. I'm wondering what the diagnosis was?
  
  Have you been able to work on Alex's portrait or your Africa paintings at all?
• Kim 31.1.08
  
   

  thanks Julie...
  I'm sure you will have fun....there's a lot of reading there :)
  
  hi Lynda....
  I'm sure having time off won't affect your ranking ....
  how's the preparation going?
  my diagnosis was "frozen shoulder"..
  not much to do about it except wait ...have read up extensively on it and found 2 great websites that are very proactive...
  I have the bromelaid...and will take that if I need too ...I'm really bad when it comes to tablets :)
  Alexander's portrait will be on standby...and I have decided not to enter the Moran as I thought my back up portrait wasn't really suitable...
  the Africa painting has been sent into exile at the moment as it was initially responsible for my injury...
  I am doing a little bit every day on Colin's daughter's portrait ...so that is keeping me sane :)
  are you counting the days down now?
  are all your works signed ???
  I'm sure you have everything in place right down to the finest point :)
• Michael Naples 31.1.08
  
   

  That is some list. I know a lot of those daily painters...and follow them.

  hi Michael
  daily painters are to be admired for their passion...dedication and discipline...
  thanks for calling by ....
• Lynda Lehmann 1.2.08
  
   

  i've heard that frozen shoulder is very painful. the last person i knew who had it was also a woman painter. seems our "profession" has its hazards.
  
  i'm wondering what causes it. a breakdown in the connective tissues around the joint, or the wearing of the bones themselves?
  
  the important thing is that you make progress with it, so you can do what you're meant to do! (paint)
  
  as for my show, yes, they're wired and signed, and the labels and price list are done, blah blah blah etc., and the paper goods bought for the reception. and i've done a few new paintings to add to the bunch.
  
  now all i have to do is turn myself into a fly on the wall!
• Kim 1.2.08
  
   

  ha Lynda sounds like you're all set with plenty of time to decide what to wear.... :) congratulations!!!!
  the frozen shoulder has me stumped..
  I know my Mum had it for 2 years (at my age)
  and my Sister had it for 6 months (she's a dancer/teacher and 3 years younger than me)
  you could be right with the painting though as I do keep my left arm immobilised for lengthy periods (holding the paint palette...so perhaps it has locked in that position )...it's a mystery Lynda..
  did you put your new paintings on your blog?
  I will pop over and have a squizz in the morning as I'm just about to get some shut eye :)
• Lynda Lehmann 1.2.08
  
   

  it's not really any comfort to know your mom and sister have had it, unless they know the cure!
  
  i'll ask my painter friend if there was anything special that she did for it.
  
  no, i haven't put my new paintings up--but may get to it later today or tomorrow.
  
  believe it or not, i already have something to wear! and a guest book and my (longer than you saw) statement printed out, and tablecloths, toothpicks, and the whole shebang, except for the food.

  Hi Kim. What a great list and I am happy to see I've moved up! Now, where can I get one of those neat little 101 Artist Blogs widget thingys for my blog?
• Kim 1.2.08
  
   

  oh you are organised Lynda :)
  
  looking forward to seeing your latest works ...
  
  I think yoga may help...so I will start checking out the local classes though I may try to get a DVD if any are available....
  it will be interesting to see what your painter friend did for hers :)
  
  thanks Deborah
  the code for the badge/widget is at the bottom of this post...
  if you have any problems let me know :)
• Lindsay 1.2.08
  
   

  KIm, how sweet of you to mention my blog in your up and coming list. You are an amazing blogger. Your technical skills blow me over. I'm hoping to learn much more staying tuned to your blog.
  
  I'm off to visit a few blogs on your list....so little time.... so many blogs.
• Kim 1.2.08
  
   

  hi Lindsay
  my pleasure ...
  actually your blog should be on the list next update as I'm sure that you should have some authority at technorati (even now)
  ha the technical side has been 12 months of teach myself with still so much to learn :)
  have a great day visiting those blogs..
• Anonymous 1.2.08

  Didn't know what Technorati was until today... so much to learn! I started my art journal blog 9 months ago, and I'm loving it. It's great to be able to see so much fresh, original art out there. Inspiring!

  Hi Kim,
  thank you again for all the incredible work you do. I cannot believe that I moved from the last place into the 60's already. I did not do anything FOR it. It's all your's.
  And btw - my best wishes for your shoulder - I know how it feels when my fibro is taking over sometimes and I cannot even hold a brush.
• Kim 2.2.08
  
   

  thank you Petra....
  you are creating some wonderful work....I hope your condition improves...it is sad when our health is not 100%...
  thanks for your good wishes :)

  This list keeps getting better and better. Is anyone going to pass Emila? She blows everyone away. But, you're nipping at her heels! :)
• Casey Klahn 4.2.08
  
   

  BTW, my blog has broken 30 and no doubt some of this is your doing. Thanks, Kim.
• Kim 4.2.08
  
   

  thanks Kim
  haha...yes the recent Big BANG meme has certainly boosted the rankings and I know Emila has joined it too ....so I think I will continue to nip her heels for quite a while :)
  
  congratulations Casey
  that's good to hear ...
  the list is a great opportunity for meeting so many new artists every day...it's amazing how many quiet achievers we have in the artistic world.... :)

  What a great idea and resource!
  Please take a look at my blog, I have been at it on a weekly basis for over two years. I am founding a new theory of art called, UnGraven Image. On the regular and attached site there's a manifesto booklet that is free to download. So I write about the theory itself, the challenges of founding a theory and also about art and give good reviews of what I appreciate in my trips to galleries and shows in NYC.
  So please take a look at http://www.ungravenimage.com/blog.php
  and hopefully one day my blog will be in the 101 and sport one of your nifty buttons!
  I also sometimes post to blogger, which began before I had a site, but the real and full blog is at the URL above.
