I had to spend a lot of time with ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot to find lists of Christian blogs and confirm which ones had closed down or were organisation blogs and so excluded. Once I had found a large list of working Christian blogs I asked ChatGPT to rank them. Each blog received a score from 1 to 10 for each criterion. The weighted scores were then summed and multiplied by 10 to give a total rating scale which ranges from 0 to 100.
Criteria for Evaluation created with ChatGPT:
“Personal Stories and Vulnerability (20%): How well does the blog share personal experiences and show vulnerability?
