"Here comes the sun" as The Beatles once said. Of course summer is finally here and, if you ask me, that is not such a great thing. It would be kind of the same thing as asking a lion whether it would enjoy eating salad. With summer and sun comes the heat. It seems the dry heat of summer even succeeded in stunning Wikio’s ranking since July will be our quietest month for  the leaders of each category with only 5 categories featuring a change to their first places owners.

For the Beer category, Brookston Beer Bulletin switched its place with Beervana and comes back in first. This flurry has been going on for 6 months now and it seems it is not going to stop just yet! But this is not the only flurry which has been going on for quite some time, The Selvedge Yard and Bike EXIF did the same thing in the Motorcycle category again.

Where these blogs keep on dancing despite the heat, in the Wine category, Dr Vino’s wine blog has waited all spring to get back at Vinography and take back the first place. Let’s hope that this try will not result as the Toy Society one in Plush Art which took back the lead last month and lost it again, perhaps struck by the heat. LucyKate Crafts did not wait to take the top spot.

Finally, the Paper Craft category which was dominated by Friday Sketchers last month saw most of its blogs earn at least one place since the previous leader was inactive. As everyone may know, Wikio’s ranking does not rank blogs with no article for two months, but one gets back in whenever they start publishing articles again. Delightful Sketches did not dare to wait on the second spot and decided to take the first, or keep it warm as long as possible.

A quiet month of June, here at Wikio we hope there will be more changes next month. Meanwhile we wish you a nice week after the long weekend of Independence Day and if you go on holiday, have a great time off and try to check your mailbox at the end of July, just in case you receive an offer for Wikio’s August preview.
