This one was a bit tougher than the one for James McGrath.  But, his last name is Joel “Watts”.  So, here is his theme song, and lucky for him he gets dancers:

I’m feeling very musical today.  So, I thought I’d start handing out BiblioBlogger theme songs.  Since I do the rankings I’m kind of like the producer so you don’t get to debate my choices.  I figured I’d start with James McGrath because choosing this theme song was SO easy.  It’s the theme song from his favorite show – LOST.  Enjoy!

suck and should die, I suppose I should say a few words.  I don’t think that’s the case.  In fact, I think that what the BiblioBlog rankings really need is more cowbell:

I will try to add a cowbell track to the next set of rankings that I post.

Now, that’s funny no matter who you are!  Okay.  Now that I hope you’ve had a good laugh, you can go back to your debating.

Once again …

And, congrats also to our new number two BiblioBlogger James McGrath.  He has taken over the spot formerly held by none other than me.  But that’s what happens when James keeps writing good stuff (except all that silly stuff about LOST, which I cannot even begin to fathom why anyone would like that) and I take about a two week hiatus from blogging (in the meantime, I’ve also gotten myself characterized as a poop slinging monkey … but that’s okay I know what Jim really thinks of me ;-)).

We have one newcomer on the list this month debuting in the top 50.  He’s Sabio Lantz at Triangulations.  Be sure to check out his blog.  And, congratulations to everyone else who made the top 50 (except for Joel because he’s lame ;-))!

Just wanted to drop everyone a line that the rankings will be up later this evening or first thing tomorrow. My baby girl turns 6 today … 🙂 or 🙁 I don’t know how to feel. Anyway, we’ll be celebrating all day… literally. My wife and I are going on a field trip with her class and there’s a family party tonight. Just didn’t want to leave you all hanging …

Biblical Studies Carnival that is.  Brooke has posted the 51st Biblical Studies Carnival.  Here’s a little music to put you in the mood.  Great (very thorough) job Brooke!

And, the #1 BiblioBlogger for February is …

Once again …

Further proof that Alexa does absolutely nothing to take content into consideration, right Joel? 😉  Just kidding … Congratulations to everyone who made it into the top 50 this month.  We’ve got a couple of new blogs this month.  Be sure to check them out: Simul Iustus at Peccator, Font Words, Pastoral Musings and Ma Yitron (sorry didn’t want to figure out how to fool with Hebrew this morning).

As per last month, I mentioned that I have an idea for a new site for the rankings.  I am going to act on that eventually.  But, I’ve been detained by other things this month :-).  Hopefully, you won’t begrudge me that.  At any rate, that will probably be a summer project.

Now, without further ado …

Well, I’ve been a bit behind this month, but that’s alright … at least by me.  Anyway, I thought I’d make my first post back after a bit of a holiday (that is Mardi Gras holiday to all northerners) a ranking post to let everyone know where they stand.  And, for most all of you that is below me, except you Joel.  But, I will catch you one day.

To all who have requested being added to the list, I’ll get to you before the monthly rankings.  The monthly ranking is indeed the only thing that really counts.  The rest of the ranking posts are more of updates.

Without further ado ….

*** JOEL WATTS!!! ***

Congratulations to Joel and to everyone who has made their way into the Top 50 this month!  We all know that this is the absolute most important part of what we do, and it is certainly a prestigious honor 😉  Anyway, check out where you are (and if I made any mistakes — wouldn’t want the rankings to be tainted) and let your readers know where you landed this month.  I didn’t include the “no datas” at the behest of a few people, so it’s an abbreviated list.

I hope to announce a bit of news this month about the location of the rankings in future months along with some of the additions I would like to make to them.  In the meantime, I’ve started up a BiblioBlogger bookstore and have a couple of other potential ideas for promoting BiblioBlogging.  Only our top bloggers have made their way into the store so far, but I hope to add a couple more of you everyday.  Stay tuned….

[If you sent me your URL to check out for addition to the list this past week, I’ll get to it this upcoming week.]

If you missed it yesterday, I started an Amazon store devoted to books written by BiblioBloggers.  Yesterday John Loftus, Todd Bolen, Dave Black, James McGrath, and Henry Neufeld made it in.  Today I’ve added Daniel Wallace, Robert Cargill, and Mark Goodacre.  It is a wonder that some of these guys have any time whatsoever to blog with all of the monographs that they write.  Anyway check them out HERE.
