Hmm...is this about me or about them?

A few weeks ago, Spencer posted a link to this site that will measure the reading level of your blog.

Like Spencer's blog, this blog you're reading right was rated at the elementary reading level.

Hmmph! I thought. What does it take to get a higher reading level?

So I put in the url for my graduate class's blog.

That blog has a high school reading level.

So I guess if I posted almost exclusively about academic articles, I might boost my blog's reading level. Or if I imagined an authority figure was always reading.

This is entirely unrelated to this post, but I ran across a book at work that I thought you might be interested in. It is called Journey from the Center to the Page. It is about yoga as a muse for writing. I have not read it, but it is one of the books I “plan” on reading someday. You've blogged about yoga before, so I thought you might be interested in checking it out. Then again, you might have already head of it and read it. Regardless, I wanted to pass it along. : )
