Following Sean's lead, I decided to see what results I would get if I used the new Google Reading Level Filter on my blog. Here are the results:
I apologize for not offering any advanced level reading... :-)
Note: I ran some other very high profile blogs I follow through this filter, and I actually feel pretty good about my results. The blogs in question will remain unnamed to protect the innocent.

I noticed that the results are quite different whether you put site: before the URL or not.
Anyway it's fun. :)
I got Basic 74%, Intermediate 25% and Advanced 1%
I think that 1% redeems my overwhelming majority basic!
I would like to know how the filter works. What criteria deems a site/blog "basic" or "intermediate"? Just the words that are used, or does it actually analyze the grammar as well?
Also, shouldn't these level names be Basic, Expert and Advanced? ;-)
@Gabriel: I also noticed leaving off "site:" changed the results. Again, it makes me wonder how the filter works.
@Dungeonmum: stand proud to know you are 1% more advanced than I am! :-D
Shane, when I search for your blog I get 51% Basic, 36% Intermediate, and 11% Advanced, so there are obviously some discrepancies.
@Sean: that is odd. I am getting Google on the phone and finding out what the hell is going on here...
:-P
