We are past the midway point in the Fall 2009 Blogging for Progress Scholarship contest! Does it seem like you've been writing forever with no idea where you are headed? It can feel that way toward the middle of the contest, so to help motivate you all to stick with it, here is your top 25 (in alphabetical order):

Didn't see your name on the list? Don't panic! LeslieQ, last semester's second place finisher, wasn't on the list at the midpoint either! In fact, she came from behind in the last few weeks of the contest. So keep at it! We have one month left. One month is a long time in the blogospere, so you have plenty of time to move up in the rankings.
And if you are on the list, keep it up! My advice for everyone is blog frequently, edit your work, and comment liberally, and you'll do fine. If you have any questions, please PM a faculty member.* We are here to help!
The contest ends at noon (PST) on December 15th.
*Disclaimers:
1.) We will not tell you where you rank on the list. Please do not PM staff about this.
2.) The rankings change daily...hourly, even! If we were to tell you, it wouldn't do you any good.
3.) These rankings do not include read points. Those will be factored in after the contest ends.
How many active bloggers would you say are shooting for the scholarship? In other words, top 25 out of how many? Oh, and there's no way you could tell us approx how many points the top person has, is there?

I dig how people rated this information. I'd give it five stars, too. Damn good writing.

Smartass. Is that a ToS violation if it's true? ;)
Good to see you, btw...you haven't been around much.
