30 Days of Blogging, 1 down 29 to go!

Dec 2, 2008 30 Days Blogging

The first day of 30 Days of Blogging is over and the results are in: people are blogging. That’s FOX NEWS kind of news!

Before I start though, take a quick look at the public page I created on Netvibes for this challenge. Pretty cool, huh? Ok, now here I go…

James and his wife were so excited about the challenge that they had a baby! Wow, way to kick things off James! Ok, so the baby girl is a couple of weeks old, but it sure is a great way to start a month of writing!

When not crafting cool handbags, Jessi uses her blog as light therapy. For her real issues, I’m sure she uses her fake facebook account. C’mon Jess, share the juicy stuff!

408Down uses blogspot as therapy too! In yesterday’s post she admits to seeing a recent New Kids concert. Not only that, but it sounds like she got in a drunk fight too. Ok, that would have been a cool concert to start a fight at.

Sweet news: John is taking requests. He kicks off the challenge with his can’t-live-without-wordpress-plugins list. I like plugins. I like them a lot.

Geoff writes about a company attempting to spread the retail black-weekend to 5(!) days. Mobile Tuesday? For real? Yawn. I think I consider this a fail since the first time I heard about it is from Geoff, and Tuesday is pretty much over. I like Geoff’s other post about his soon-to-be new toy: Western Digital – WD HD TV Media Player.

While reading Jake’s post about always on internet, my ADD kicked in as soon as he mentioned Hamster Dance! Whoa. That’s deep.

Pete gives sound advice for money management and budgeting during the holidays. Except that he advises to NOT tell your kids there is no Santa Claus this year. Oops, too late.

My attempt to revive shirtwatch already failed. I get sad trombone. But in all fairness I fell asleep at the keyboard last night. And to make up for it, I will feature two shirts today! But it is a failure nonetheless.

However, I rocked TJMS with announcing the 30 Day Bloggers Fight Club and in case anyone bitched about cheating by talking/blogging about fight club(cough cough, John!), I made a back up post about some contest that marketers would enjoy.

And I think…yup…that’s a wrap. Woo hoo!

Thirty Day Blogging Challenge: Who’s In?

Dec 1, 2008 30 Days Blogging

Time for a redux.

The last challenge failed miserably for me and my COX-enable internet nightmare. So much so that the sight of my site gave me PTD. Others fared the same and/or better. Jake cheated because he tweeted, but we love him anyway. And Hawkins conquered all, posting a damn good streak way past 30 days. Also, my remixers posted every day, but I paid them.

Omni and Hockey Mom, you guys game?

Mr. Vegas Wordpress is go!

Kupka wants to play.

I’m in once. twice. thrice?

Who else wants to join?

It’s the busiest time of year, especially for our industry. It’s the eve of WordCamps 1 and 2. Stories will be told for generations to come.

Who will be the last man standing?

UPDATE: Jessimeister has joined us for our blogger games!

Who’s got next?

UPDATEZ: 408down is on the UP’n UP and joined el Concurso! This will be fun! Her blogspot profile says “always drunk, often happy”. Err… I read that wrong, but I like my version better.

UPTADATE: Geoff Is Awesome (who’s name doesn’t start with a ‘J’, but that’s ok because Sarah already broke the trend) has joined our battle of the blogs and promises not to post about his love of fruitcake.

UPDATEDZ: Jake is back with us for another go! I promise to give Jake fair coverage even though I secretly hate and/or love him for having such a cool domain name. I wish I had my name, sigh.

Who else? It’s never to late to join! Jump jump!
