Welcome to the August 2010 Tots100 index of the top 100 British Parent bloggers.
It might be the school holidays but the UK's Mummy and Daddy bloggers have been keeping busy – we've got 12 new entries to the index this month and a new number 1 British Parenting blog – congrats to the utterly fabulous Josie at Sleep is for the Weak.
One of the things that's great to see is the number of new blogs joining the index each month. Do take the time to explore blogs you haven't seen before – we've got parenting blogs covering everything from fashion to feminism, crafts, cooking and gardening.
If you write a parenting blog and you’re in the UK or a British ex-pat, you can add your blog to the Tots100 index. Just leave a comment on THIS post with your blog name, URL, and your Twitter ID if you have one. You will then be listed in next month’s index.
Before signing up, take a moment to read our primer, which explains what blogs are eligible for the index, and how your score will be calculated. We're always happy to answer questions via email or in the comments. You can also opt out of the index for any month, just by dropping us a line and asking to be removed from the table. Please remember that the Tots100 will not reverse the ageing process or make you rich – it's just a fun way to reach new readers, and to find new blogs to read.
If you have submitted your blog to the Tots100 index, you can download a personalised badge for your blog, which will update automatically each month with your new Tots100 ranking. These badges are available for ALL bloggers in the index, not just those in the top 100. If you're the modest type and would prefer, you can also download a static badge, which lets your readers know you're in the Tots100 without announcing your ranking.
And now for this month's scores!
| Rank | Blog | Score | Change |
| 1 | Sleep is for the Weak | 3925 | + 4 |
| 2 | Sticky Fingers | 3917 | - 1 |
| 3 | A Modern Mother | 3915 | - 1 |
| 4 | Are We Nearly There Yet, Mummy | 3910 | - 1 |
| 5 | Baby Baby | 3906 | + 1 |
| 6 | Single Parent Dad | 3881 | - 2 |
| 7 | Rosie Scribble | 3833 | + 4 |
| 8 | Noble Savage | 3808 | + 8 |
| 9 | Diary of a desperate Exmoor Woman | 3802 | = |
| 10 | Little Mummy | 3794 | - 2 |

Howdy! I think I’ve already given you the details you need to be included in the monthly index round-up, but I’m not entirely convinced I did it correctly as it was a few months back and I didn’t really know what I was doing! Apologies if I’m doubling up… xx

Hi – yes, you’re listed – just go to the badge page to download your badge and you’ll be able to track your listing each month. Let me know if you have any q’s!
sally
Fingers crossed for next month?
*sally smiles winningly at her sponsors*
Welcome back!
Oh wow! I’m moving up & up!
Makes me feel better about being up at silly o’clock with a un-sleepy child! 
Great index – just been reading about ‘growlers’ on Very Bored in Catalunya!
Wow! That was unexpected!
Thanks!
Loving the new entries too.
Ooh, a night owl, just like me! Thanks for the info – will do that now… x
Yay! I’m back after a two month absence.
Hello Hello,
Would love to be included in future calculations…

Do I need to do anything else?
Thanks!
Maggy
Ha! I know just what you mean…
Welcome!
Hi Maggy
You’re already in the index, I think you’re 106th this month – if you go to the badge page you can download a badge which will show your ranking.
Sally
Hi Sally,
Tried downloading my badge but it does not show ranking when I publish. I am really interested to know where I rank LOL! Also I know I am new to this but have had quiet a bit of activity this month and so was wondering if you could advise how I can improve my score. I’m a bit lost.
Many thanks
Karen
Thanks again for a good job. Some new blogs to discover, always a pleasure to find.
CJ xx
Yeah! I’m back on the list! Thanks Sally! x
Wow I was expecting to drop quite a lot this month as I’ve been on a break but its not too bad, now just to get New Mummy’s Tips in there!!
Hi Sally,
I’m surprised not be in the index again – for the 3rd month since I changed my domain name, but thought I would have reappeared somewhere by now! My stats seem to be better than ever, and I have more readers than before so not sure where it’s going wrong. Any suggestions?
genius!
The badges will update at some point today, let me know if you’re still having problems tonight
Well done – NMT isn’t far off now!
I’ll have a look and drop you an email later today if that’s okay.
Hello from America!
So in all fairness you should remove my blog from your list of British Mummy and Daddy bloggers, since I am neither British or a Daddy Blogger. Not that there is anything wrong with that 
Not that I don’t appreciate being #8
I just wanted to be sure that you knew I have no idea how my blog Pacing the Panic Room ended up on this list, I did not submit it, I am not an ex-pat. I am just an idiot with a blog in America
Thanks, I’d really appreciate that.

Done!

Hello Sally! My monthly thanks message! You really are amazing! (although sad you’re still the top blogger! I though overlord had a real ring…)
One thing – my badge hasn’t updated. No prob as I’ve dropped this month so I’m quite happy to keep claiming to be higher than I am! But I probably ought to own up to it at some point! Should I put the code in again?
Hi Sally,
I’m not sure if i’m listed with you or not.
http://mumrara.blogspot.com/
If not could i be included next month please.
Thanks,
Sarah.
Thanks Harriet – I’ve emailed the tech guys to see if there’s a reason but it should have updaated by now?
Have asked the tech guys to check your badge – but your rank this month was 298 out of around 700. Hope your badge is working soon!
Hi,
Yes you’re indexed this month so you should be able to download a badge already. Do you have a Twitter ID?
Sally
Yep i’m Mumrablog. https://twitter.com/mumrablog
What do i do to get a badge? Sorry i may well be being a bit thick?
Sarah.
Sally i’ve got the badge sorted now thanks.
How many people approx. are registered to put the rankings into perspective?
Sarah.
Hi Sally – can you add me to the ever growing list please?

If you click on the ‘download a badge’ link in the post above, you’ll see a box with the badge and a drop-down menu. Your blog should be in that drop-down menu. Select your blog, then copy/paste the code into your own blog (as a widget in blogger or wordpress, as a typelist in Typepad)
Let me know if you have any problems.

Oh, missed that!
This month, around 700.
Done!

Hi, I signed up originally as http://mummymatters.wordpress.com but i have now moved to http://deepinmummymatters.com since I’ve bought my domain name. Can you please change my links or whatever it is that you need to do. I don’t hold out much hope for a high ranking but I might get there one day!! Thanks x
Hi Sally,
I’ve moved to:
http://www.wahm-bam.org
(from http://wahm-bam.blogspot.com)
There’s a redirect from the old blogspot address, so people should be landing at the new one for any links they click. No idea how this works for Tots100 stats, but take the information and do with it what you need to. (I have a strong feeling it will mean I disappear from the Tots100, but hopefully I get back up eventually!)
Sally could you please include:

Hi Sally,
Can you change my “submission” to http://www.redtedart.com won’t show up yet, I am sure, as it will need some building up of visitors etc etc… but would be nice to still be included for when it is back to normal!
