Chess.com won't let me be top blogger

I've met all the requirements and filled out the application, but chess.com ignored me. I post at least everyday and I write the Road to GM series and some history. My articles are of high quality.

Huh, that's strange

I think they don't want to mention it, but there's a rating requirements

Have you actually looked at the top blogs including bloggers of the month? Some of your stuff is not bad but I can see a few issues with it. 

Like what?

I mean the blog I saw had numerous spelling and grammar errors and proofreading errors : ‘a lot’ spelt as one word, parapsychologist spelt wrong, and sentences like:

“Fischer forfeited his title because his absurd demands weren't demand so Karpov became champion”

I could have picked out many more....it felt like it was written very much in a rush, plus many of your entries broke the rule about having large walls of text.

But like I say, some of it was quite good in parts.

yeah

I just realized alot isn't a word definitely need to know that for the SAT

Haha 😂 

You could blog about how your chess has helped you academically

I dont know what

i write big

or maybe just because I'm a kid

actually have?

I have 173

I don't see anything wrong with your blog.  I think it has potential.  What it doesn't have is longevity - it's only two weeks old.   I don't know why you didn't get the status you're seeking - maybe it's as simple as no one has had time to review applicants but were I the one to approve such things, I would never do so on a two week old blog.   Top Blogging is becoming Top Heavy as it is.

On the positive side, you just ran a brilliant advertising campaign with this thread.  Getting readership is the goal - getting Top Blogging status is just another means to that goal.

Update: I checked the top bloggers and it seems like the rating requirement is 1000. I saw a few top bloggers rated around 1050 rapid

@desinformation, a top blogger, is rated 858.

your blog posts just need to be entertaining and informative, and they should not be very short. Also you don't need a certain age to become a top blogger, I became one at the age of 10
