In all my time publishing things to the web, I have never been desperate. Until now. There's something about blogging that strikes a certain...neediness in the writer: Please read what I have to say. Please comment. Please link to me. Please love me!
It can be hard to be lovable. You gotta be witty and insightful and educational. By doing so, you may get lucky enough to be on AllTop.com. But most of us have a long way to go before we reach the Top, if ever. The rest of us, we're just Mediocre. And that's where AllMediocre.com comes in.
AllMediocre was created just recently. It started as a joke by a fellow blogger as a response to AllTop. As we all know, the best jokes are rooted in truth, and the idea caught on. Now it's a legitimate list of "The Web’s Best Blogs, You Just Don’t Know It Yet!"
And I was accepted!
I don't even know if I'm living up to that standard yet. But in time I hope to find a bit more of my voice (my blog title gives me a little bit of leeway in that) and be worth reading. I look forward to interacting with my fellow AllMeds. It sure was lonely with just the crickets!

Well I don't know if I am the first to visit from All Mediocre but welcome! I am new there too and a new blogger. Just write for you and the rest will follow.
AM is the best - you'll enjoy being a part of it. There are so many great bloggers participating and visiting. Have fun!
Thanks for the welcome, you two! The whole social networking trend is such a mystery to me. I'm so glad I could get in on the "ground floor" of AllMed. I hope it stays as warm as it is after it explodes!
I've enjoyed being part of All Mediocre as well.
Welcome!
