Take The Totally Depraved Jim West Blogging Challenge

I’ve long puzzled over Jim West’s unchallenged and seemingly unbeatable status as the number one biblioblogger. I mean, he managed to keep that status even when LOST was drawing to its finale…without blogging about LOST! How is that even possible?!

I have suspected for some time that the secret is neither sheer popularity nor totally depraved and dilettantistly Zwinglified content, but the sheer frequency with which he posts. Combined with the number of people who subscribe to his blog feed, that will translate into a lot of visits, even if those are from people who quickly skip over the photos of people at Wal-Mart or the expressions of climate science dilettantism.

And so I’m offering a challenge to anyone who would like to give Jim West a serious run for his money, or at least test my theory about the secret of Jim West’s success. Pick a month in the near future, and make it your committment that every time Jim West posts something, you will post twice. It doesn’t matter about what. Just post something. I’ll be curious to see what happens.

So who’s ready to take the Totally Depraved Jim West Blogging Challenge (wearing a snuggie while using a Mac is not required), and find out whether it is possible to start 2011 with a new top biblioblogger?
