...And lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest!
That was fast! I've done essentially no publicizing of this blog, feeling that I wanted to get the bugs out of its appearance before bragging about it. (I'm still working on it.) But I have begun to type its URL into the appropriate box when commenting on other people's blogs.
Patrick Nielsen Hayden noticed, and has included As I Please among the "Friends and Relations" links on the sidebar on Electrolite. At the very top of the list, in fact. Avedon Carol not only picked this up but mentioned it.
I found this out indirectly, when my daily review of /var/log/httpd-access.log to see the home addresses of last night's bunch of script-kiddies looking for Windows NT security holes revealed that a bunch of people were actually downloading and viewing actual Web pages, and that they been referred by Electrolite. and The Sideshow.
Close scrutiny reveals the true reason why my blog leads all the rest in Patrick's listing. Our editorial and design staffs are considering the implications of renaming this weblog Aaaaaaaaaaas I Please. Watch this space for further updates.

Will you consider pinging weblogs.com when you update? I hear Movable Type has a checkbox that automates the process.
btw, I'm getting a horizontal scroll bar in IE 5.5 and 6.0
