This week’s crop have something of a by-election flavour – something to do, I suspect, with this week’s stunning crop of Lib Dem victories. As ever, let’s start with the most popular post, and work our way down.

Welcome to the 100th of our weekly round-ups from the Lib Dem blogosphere – yes, the Golden Dozen has reached its ton! Which means it’s almost two years since I suggested the feature to LDV founder Rob Fenwick at Westminster Liberal Drinks in February 2007. The concept hasn’t strayed much from the original brief outlined in the very first Golden Dozen:

The idea is simple enough. Each week, we’ll list the top postings which have appeared on the Lib Dem Blogs Aggregator during the previous seven days. And then I’ll hand-pick another five you might have otherwise missed to showcase the diversity of talent within the Lib Dem blogosphere.

In fact all that’s changed has been the erosion of the benign dictatorship I originally exerted over the ‘hand-picked five’ – now it’s you who nominates them, mostly via LibDig, another of Ryan Cullen‘s genius creations which allows us to share our favourite website links with other Liberal Democrat members.

Anyway, enough already with the nostalgia, and let’s get down to our belated business: revealing the most popular Lib Dem blog posts published between 11-17th January 2009, according to Aggregator click-throughs, together with your hand-picked quintet of posts that might otherwise have been missed.

As ever, let’s start with the most popular post, and work our way down.

And just one story accounts for all seven of the top places from the Lib Dem blogs this last week: Nick Clegg’s comments about members of the party’s shadow cabinet, as reported by the Sunday Mirror. As you might imagine, many of the postings were critical of Nick; so, in the interests of balance, can I highlight Lib Dem chief executive Lord (Chris) Rennard’s comment on the LDV thread here.

And now on with the show, starting with most popular post, and working our way down.

Gentle reader, I crave your indulgence. Last week, I forgot all about the Golden Dozen, … something to do with an historic US election put it clean out of my mind. Fortunately, no-one yet seems to have noticed, and I think I may just have got away with it. So anyway…

Have you started using LibDig yet? Either to highlight an article, blog-post or video for other Lib Dems; or simply to enjoy reading what other Lib Dems have found online. (The tech-wizard behind Lib Dem Blogs and LibDig, Ryan Cullen, explained all for Lib Dem Voice here last month).

Here at LDV we’ve started using LibDig to select the five Golden Dozen blog-posts (to complement the most clicked-to seven) – but here’s five posts from beyond the Liberal Democrat blogopshere that you’ve been LibDigging this week:
