The criteria alone are cracking us up. Sites score points for mentioning Ruby, utilizing a blogroll, attempting to use strict XHTML, using prototype.js, and using the Google Maps API, among other things.

Webmonkey scores a definite no. A scant 1 out of 11, and it's a good thing if you ask us. Can you imagine if we let our readers leave comments on our articles? We'd never sleep. Besides, that's what blogs are for.

Speaking of which, the Monkey Bites blog receives a 2 out of 11, one more than Webmonkey.com. We get our points for mentioning Web 2.0 and using the word "mash-up" in a sentence. Now's the time we do a little dance.

UPDATE: Alright, good news! The Monkey Bites blog just jumped another two points. Since this story was posted, and because of the requisite mentions of Ruby and prototype.js, we're scoring a 4 out of 11. It's only getting better from here!
