MyBlogLog Problogger Contest
A few weeks ago we sat in our office and brainstormed on ways we could give our members a hand in their blogging efforts. We knocked all sorts of ideas around, the new blog-themed email signature being one of the ones that we chose, but our favorite idea was holding a contest that would 1-benefit everyone who participated and 2-give out a barrel-full of problogger-themed goodness.
::Robyn climbs up on her soapbox:: So, without further ado, I give you THE MYBLOGLOG PROBLOGGER CONTEST!
The rules are pretty simple. The community that grows the most, in their gross total, from now to November 30, 2007, will win. You can see the full list of legalese here. The winner will be announced live from the floor of PubCon in Las Vegas by me and Ian. We'll also sprinkle them liberally all over the site.
::Robyn begins Oscar acceptance speech:: I'd like to thank the sponsors, who without their freebies (yes, they all donated these), we could not offer you such cool prizes. Our sponsors:
SEOMoz
Yahoo! Search Marketing
Designs By RS
Yaro Starak
SOBCon 2008
Now, get over to the contest and register your blog. You can keep up to date with who is in the lead here at the leaderboard, and you can see your own place, if you are not in the top 100, within the Edit Profile section of your Profile on MyBlogLog. Good luck! We're rooting for you.
Trouble in DNS land
Unrelated to our shuffling around of servers, we seem to have run into a storm of DNS trouble which has thrown our site offline. The Recent Reader widget is also down. We'll update this post as we get more news.
UPDATE (7:39) : The site and widgets are back up but still response is intermittent.
UPDATE (8:10) : Looks like the storm has cleared, everything normal so far.
Shiny New Objects
Over the next couple of weeks we're going to be shifting hardware around in preparation for a new set of gerbils to come online at a new colo facility to share the load. If you notice anything strange, wait a few and things should re-adjust themselves automatically.
BlogWorld Expo Is Only 2 Days Away
I'm so looking forward to BlogWorld Expo. While my panel is Friday at 1:30pm on Utilizing Social Media, I think I'm most excited about the Pajama Party Thursday night at the Hard Rock Cafe Casino. It's where they'll be holding the 2007 Weblog Awards.
We are the proud sponsor of The Best Online Community award. While I've already voted for my fav, I hope you'll do the same. I can't wait to hand this award to the winner. Take a moment to go and vote for your favorite community.
Thanksgiving With Ozzy
Ever wanted to eat dinner with a famous, err, infamous rock star? Well a pal over at solow.com is having a wacky contest to give away three punk-filled days in LA and dinner with Ozzy Osbourne and family.
The deets are here: www.solow.com/ozzy
Dinner with Sharon and Ozzy? I don't think my heart could take it, but it sounds like a blast!
