Fraxas: agreed, but timeliness didn't appear to be the issue as some of the postings that did show up were not at all recent. i think their search seems to be fast, but the ranking is completely chaotic from what i can tell. i apparently need to be mentioned in the post itself to be credited.

So rankings are going to fluctuate wildly on the blog search, I bet.
