Summer Blog Challenge REMINDER

On August 3, the Summer Blog Challenge (SBC) will kick off the second of what it seems will become an annual event. You are cordially invited to join in. Here’s the basic format:
For 31 days, starting August 3, ending September 2, you, as a participating participant of the Summer Blog Challenge (SBC), will write one (1) blog post per day of at least 150 (one hundred fifty) words.
At the end of each week, I will try to have a report outlining how everybody did (post-wise and word-count-wise).
Cliff is widely known as the word-count champ around these parts, but I’m going to make an attempt to bring him down. (aside from cutting off his index fingers, I’m not sure how to proceed, but we’ll see how creative I can be)
Beyond the 150 (one hundred fifty) words per post, and the one (1) post per day, there don’t seem to be any hard and fast rules. There may be topical or word count challenges pushed around, but those will generally be to avoid ridicule, or to gain additional (possibly someone else’s) awesome points.
Awesome points will be awarded for:
-signing up
-each post
-each clean week (no missed days)
-two straight clean weeks (awarded only once per participating participant)
-three straight clean weeks (awarded only once per participating participant)
-31 days clean
-awesomeness (obviously)
-anything else

As of right now, the full list of participants is as follows:
Cliff
Brad
Chad
Kelly
Kim
Kyle
Yours Truly
Shaun
Tammy

Cliff has mentioned on his site that he would like to keep the entrants to a reasonable size. I say fuck (forget) that noise. Get it right out of here. I never want to see (hear) that noise again. If we could get 400 (four hundred) or more people to sign up, I’d say bring it the fuck (heck) ON!

If you are interested in joining, from this point on, it would probably be best to drop me an email. I’d hate to miss your grand entrance. So if you are interested, send an email message to liam[at]bisonweb[period]ca with your name, your blog url and your credit card number*.

Awesome points and the future of your blog** are at stake.

Good luck!

    If I run out of ideas, I’m making Nick write for me. And I’ll call it homeschooling.

    Nice use of ‘jokey’ credit card fraud, Liam. Now you’re probably on a police watch list. Not too awesome…

    And you have responded to my blog post with your real name. You’re on the watch list too, buddy.
