Iron Man Blogging Competition

[hjo3]

Hey, so starting April 1st, we'll be doing this contest to see who can blog the most consecutive days. This is actually the fourth year we've done this. It's fun and the winner gets bragging rights. It's free; no ads, no iPod schemes. There are some rules, but they're pretty basic.

If you're interested in participating, registration is open until March 31st. Check it out here:

BTW, we also need topics for the competition's "Topic of the Day" (which grants participants an extra 25 points if they write about it), so if you have a question or issue you'd like to see people blog about go ahead and email it here.

Cheers

Wow, right on! And I think it was ~43 days in '06 and 11 in '05 (approximate).

I thought this was going to be about the movie.

As did I.

Does making 7 posts at once in the week, then having them be automatically uploaded count?

I looked at the rules and it's illegal if you get caught but if you stagger the posting times I doubt you'd be caught.

 

[hjo3]

Yeah, you're not supposed to compose your entries more than a day before posting them. And anyone could cheat, but it seems a little silly.

(One small bump for the non-weekenders.)

I'm just not interesting enough to fill more than 2 days worth of blog posts.

This competition only lowers my view about personal blogs, which is pretty hard to do.

It's not really meant to promote blogs. It's just a fun group activity for people that want to motivate themselves to write regularly.
