Notes:
-----------------------------
Start date of blog is the current blog and not any previous incarnation of that blog or bloggers connected with it.

Blogs without any posts for 3 months are removed to the Defunct? list.

Alexa (international not nz) ranking approximate average daily traffic equivalent:
0.5m=c.500, 1m=c.280, 1.5m=c.250, 2m=c.220, 2.5m=c.120, 3m=c.100, 3.5m=c.70, 4m=c.60, 5m=c.50, 6m=c.40, 7m=c.30, 8-10m=c.20, No data=c.10. Site counter if available will be used instead of Alexa if credible. If Alexa data includes break-down of blogs on a platform then that percentage is used, otherwise all blogs within a website are taken as half (x0.5) of main page traffic.

If ttlb link score is n/a then technorati authority is doubled in lieu. Because of credibility issues with ttlb the ttlb link score cannot be more than the technorati authority: such instances indicated by "(max. x)".
