This is a long term goal, and I’ve still been slowly progressing forward. I started seriously working at posting more reviews about 2.5 years ago and am now in the 2100s. I started in the 13000s.
I now have 162 reviews posted. I will definitely move forward on this if I post more reviews. So I will work on this goal in 2008 by setting concrete goals to hit a certain number of reviews posted by particular dates, and make a general aspiration to post at least a very brief review of any book I finish and as many DVDs as I can.

I posted about 6 reviews today—I really should do that more often!

I’ve had a lull in posting reviews but have added about 4 or 5 more this month. Trying to get back to it…of course it would help if I were actually reading books and watching movies as much as I’d like…
On the plus side, I did pass the 150 review milestone this week!

After a one-day bump into the 2400s (okay 2499 is barely there…) I fell back into the 2500s and languished for quite some time. For the last few days I’ve been in the 2400s again, after posting 3 reviews in the last two weeks. Gotta put the stuff out there to move up, I know it! Now I just have to keep doing it…

Keep moving up the ranks, maybe make it to the top 1000 reviewers by this time next year!

I posted my 90th review this week and I think I can get to 100 by the end of the month, just have to get reading and writing!

Added reviews of “Yentl the Yeshiva Boy” by Isaac Bashevis Singer, “Got the Look” by James Grippando, and “Brush with the Law” by Jaime Marquart and Robert Byrnes.
I’ve also been excited for and inspired by fellow 43T-er Glen Engel Cox, who made it into the top 500 this month. Of course he is several hundred reviews up on me, so I have to keep on reading and writing!

Put two more up this week (Yentl the Yeshiva Boy and Brush With the Law: The True Story of Law School Today at Harvard and Stanford) for a total of 80.
I’ve been bouncing around the 3300s in ranking but it looks like soon I’ll be up to 3200.
For the record, when I started keeping track and consciously attempting to put more reviews on line and raise my rank, in July of 2005, I was at 16345. It would be cool to make it into the top 1000 by the end of this year.

Four more reviews on line this week. I’ve slipped down a few notches, into the 3540s, but hopefully the new reviews will get some votes and help me get back up. Meanwhile the main point for me is to enjoy what I read and watch, and let others know about the good or bad stuff out there (and also keep track of what I read and see for myself). In that sense it doesn’t matter what my ranking is.
