FIND FRESH CONTENT FROM THESE BLOGS 

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:

    1. “Personal Stories and Vulnerability (20%): How well does the blog share personal experiences and show vulnerability?
    2. Biblical Insights (20%): How deep and insightful are the biblical reflections and teachings?
    3. Consistency and Engagement (20%): How frequently is new content posted, and how engaged is the author with their audience?
    4. Community and Support (10%): Does the blog foster a sense of community and offer support to its readers?
    5. Relevance and Relatability (10%): How relevant and relatable is the content to current issues and everyday life?
    6. Inspirational Content (10%): How inspiring is the content for readers seeking encouragement?
    7. External Validation and Influence (10%): What kind of recognition or influence does the blog have within the broader Christian community?”
