SLN has received a bump in the polls this year—the polls being Scott Spiegelberg’s annual Top 50 Classical Music Blogs. Using a new, and I might add, improved ranking system, we’ve skyrocketed from tied-for-49th to a very respectable 15th. This actually makes SLN the 4th best performer blog, though it’s not fair for us to be in the same category as the Violin Diaries, since I am but one person and they’ve got bloggers posting from all over the world on their aggregate site. So with that little adjustment, SLN is the 3rd best music blog by a performer. But if you put SLN in its proper instrument category—that being woodwinds—its the Number One Woodwind Performer Music Blog. Woo-hoo! We’re Number One!
