Notes on the rankings:
1. Every calendar month over the last year (and more) I have shortlisted and featured 10 standout pieces from the blogging output by (and also for) planners/strategists. For the above ranking, I added up the number of pieces from each blog featured in the whole of 2016 - the more posts featured, the higher the blog is ranked.
2. The blogs shortlisted in the ranking above are a subset of all the blogs whose posts have featured. in Top Blogging..., which also includes posts from creatives, technologists, group blogs, etc.
3. For the purposes of this ranking, I have defined a planning/strategy blog as a single-author self-published blog run by an account planner/strategist. This definition also encompasses alumni planners and marketing thinkers whose blogging output is of relevance to those within the discipline.
4. Blogs with a shared ranking(denoted with =) have been listed alphabetically.
5. If you have read or write something that merits inclusion in the upcoming editions of Top Blogging...,  ping me via twitter or e-mail.
