UPDATE: If you want to connect with 1,000 British Mummy blogs (and some Dads, too) then please visit the new Tots100 website with up-to-date listings and a brand new PR subscription option, so you can search, filter and contact the UK's most popular Mummy bloggers direct.
All this week we've been publishing some insights from the Tots100 over the past year – the most popular bloggers, the most engaging, the most influential, the most successful Tweeters.
Today we're pulling all of that together and revealing the top 100 British Mummy and Daddy bloggers of 2010. We have scored and ranked almost 1,000 active British parenting blogs and assessed how well each site has performed over the past 12 months in three key areas:
- Popularity – how many people read and subscribe to a blog?
- Influence – how likely is the blog to be linked to and talked about online?
- Engagement – how likely are readers to engage with a blog by commenting, or sharing content?
I'd like to thank everyone who has taken part in the Tots100 index this year. I've watched as the reach and influence of British Parent Blogs has increased enormously across the board, and more importantly, the blogs within the index are home to some of the best writing, design and photography you'll find on the Internet.
Congratulations to those making this list, and I look forward to seeing what you all come up with in 2011.
If you're not yet listed with Tots100 you can be added to our database by leaving a comment with your blog name, blog address and Twitter ID (if you have one).

About Sally
Sally is a full-time blogger and founder of the MAD Blog Awards and the Tots100, a community of almost 5,000 UK parent blogs. She is also a busy single Mum to Flea, the world's coolest seven year old.
Woohoo!!!! Checked in this morning thinking “not a chance, but it’ll be nice to see who’s made it”. Started reading from the bottom. Thought “oh, my goodness, she’s in the 90s, and so’s she, golly, but their blogs are awesome. I must have been about 2385th”. Kept reading. Found myself! 63!!!!!! I realise that doesn’t look enormously impressive from outside but am so excited and delighted! Thank you Sally, you’ve made my week! (and for all your hard work as always a huge thank you). ps I presume that the badges are for the top tens you’ve done earlier in the week, but if I’m wrong and I get to use it too, let me know – would be (perhaps pathetically) proud to do so!
