We typed all of our blogs into this site and ranked them by a number of followers each blog has. That way, the blog with the highest amount of Bloglovin’ followers appears at the very bottom of this list. We also only ranked blogs that had 20 or more followers, since that seems to be an indication of success and popularity.
