Extrapolating from Tumeke's December 2008 stats, the top 10 Christian Blogs on Public Discourse in New Zealand are as follows; these stats are used in the calculations for the MandM top 10 NZ Christian Blog rankings for December 08:

1. NZ Conservative (22 + 1)
2. Something Should Go Here, Maybe Later (Half Done) (24 + 9)
3. The Briefing Room (27 + 4)
4. MandM (50 - 4)
5. Kiwi Polemicist (71 + 1)
6. Contra Celsum (91 + 4)
7. Say Hello to my Little Friend (Beretta Blog) (94 + 3)
8. Star Studded Super Step (116 New)
9. Put up Thy Sword (118 - 20)
10. Samuel Dennis (129 – 67)

Of Note:

• Again, no change in the number 1 spot, well done NZ Conservative.


• Those in this month's top 7 held their positions fairly stably however some blogs saw massive drops – probably the nature of December in play.


• We welcome some new faces in the Christian blogosphere; Andy Moore's Star Studded Super Step debuts at number 8 (of course this blog has been around a while but this is its first time on Tumeke's and MandM's rankings) and new comer, Blessed Economist.

Other Christian blogs making the top 200 NZ blogs on Public Discourse are:

• Gavin Knight (131 – 19)


• Blessed Economist (137 New)


• Definitive (163 + 4)


• Section 59 Blog (175 - 9)


• NZ Debate (194 - 43)


• The Voice of Reason NZ (199 – 5)

(Numbers in brackets show the overall NZ ranking of each blog)

Note: This list does not include Christians who blog but whose blogs are not identifiably Christian and is based on Tumeke's classification and ranking methods.
