"Rank" refers to your blog's standing, statistically, in relationship to the other blogs in the class. The "rank" is based on the "Average" which combines the four areas for rating, as indicated in the chart. You point value increases from the previous week's rating if you continue to add content and you address my comments from the previous week. You lose points in your rating if your content is not sufficiently growing or you fail to address my comments from the previous week.
The arrows in "Rank" and "Average" indicate movement from the previous week.
Note: Again, I must stress that these rankings do not mean anything -- yet. They simply show the work being done. To emphasize, all that will count in the end is the way your blog ends up.

Healthcare Renaissance: Continued good content growth. Tagging is good but needs to be expanded. Also, you need to start on a bibliography.
Taxes-R-Us: Acceptable content growth. Excellent work on tagging, although "Archive" and "Tags" are still not really readable in the design, as is.
Unemployment Work Group: Still good, steady growth in content. However, fonts still keep changing per post; no tags have been added; no search box available. Also a suggestion: add "Newer Posts" -- "Older Posts" navigation function at the bottom of the page.
Dream Act: Acceptable content growth. Good start with the addition of a search box and tagging. Follow through on tagging with older posts. Also, really like the "Recent comments" section at the bottom.
Loan on Me: No updates for the week. And no revisions or editing as far as I can tell.
Media Party: Update for the week is not sufficient. Given this topic, there should be far more posts. Am I not understanding something about the way to use this site?
