I was busy with election stuff through October and early November, so not posting (or researching) as much). My own traffic jumped in mid-November....and is still climbing, so I'll be interested to see what November / December brings.
We had 112 posts, which makes 25 per week.
How do you count these, this is the second time I've seen the same error?

You don't follow the simple courtesy of linking to this blog or nzblogosphere when using our material, concept and ideas, you do not supply me with information you have regarding something you have already identified as an "error", so I shall not be tendering any apology, as would have otherwise been the case; but to answer your question, I count these manually. I wish the quality was there to read all of it, but it's often not. I wish everyone had archiving that denoted monthly posts, but they often don't. Sometimes they possess neither reason to extensively investigate beyond the cursory.
I did not have the patience to count through all of your posts, for both reasons, so I guessed. My guess was off by 5. Why? Because there were many posts you made at the beginning of the month that I did not keep clicking through to view. I made a guess based on the pattern I had viewed originally and what your blog's previous performance was. I was off by 5. When you go through the blogs as I do every month, and you compare their post and comment output you will see how very stable the vast majority are from month to month - that creates a substantial degree of confidence in making an accurate estimate without having to view every tedious aspect of every tedious blog. Most times, maybe 90-95% of the time the posts and comments will not move by more than 5 either way after checking all posts.
If you want to prevent errors I suggest that you - and everyone else send in their details in the comments section, as you have now done.
I refer to these rankings as "official" and mine as "for amusement", plus I do make the assumption that your blog is far wider read than my own. I'm happy to correct any identified errors in my blog, just drop us a comment.
I assume by "material" you mean the blog list you have accumulated. I have never hidden where this came from, and any lack of a link is an oversight that I will quite happily correct.
"concept and ideas" - the way I do mine is quite explicitly different in method & format. True, I use the same sources, but these are public and all my readers (who care) know full well that you did that first.
Not worried about the error. It doesn't affect my ranking so I wasn't worried, but I just noticed that you listed the high volume blogs, and it pricked my pride a little. :)
"I count these manually."
That's either dedication or a chronic case of work avoidance :)
