My measurement started when I found the blog, and watched it for a while to ensure that it was--at this point--viable, interesting, well-written, and that Michael wasn't getting ready to go somewhere else. In Sarah's case, I had some initial reservations primarily because she was posting so much every day, but from knowing her, I believe she'll continue. My ten cents, Karen No, my measurement didn’t start when Michael started the blog.

I think your accolades are deserved in both cases. But given the unbelievable rate of initiation/attrition in the "biblioblogoshere," Michael would almost be considered "old skool." Anyway, my unsolicited two cents...

I like his blog, but I wouldn't assume a personal blog is stable until I had tracked it a while. But Steven… that’s less than a year.

Not new to many and a must grab in my aggregator, if not yours. Michael’s has been “sustained” since March 2003. Not new to many and a must grab in my aggregator, if not yours.
