The first of 12 (let us pray) monthly article roundups for this blog is here! I already discussed bringing this feature back yesterday. I may or may not include ALL the posts for the month, so you are free to check the blog archives.

1. UPDATE: Changes Made To The Permanent BackLink Page (29) - A reminder to those subscribed via email, be sure to contact me. If you’re not, make it so!

2. Do You Have Blank Blog Advertisement Slots? (92) - Do you? An important message within.

3. Threaded Comments Have Arrived! Edit Comments Is Coming… (87) - After all, a blogs main focus is inter-activity right? A Wordpress plugin every community should have. Does yours?

4. Do You Have An Advertising Page? (61) - An important followup to #2 regarding blank blog advertisements. Still accepting your responses and link if you haven’t already. Do you have one?

Final post - Last Warning. Including today there are 8 days left in the best blog review contest. It ends the 31st.

A word of advice - do not be fooled by the number of comments on the contest posts. In reality there are only a (small) handful of viable contestants and a TON OF CASH AND PRIZES to be given away…..hopefully.

It’s still WIDE OPEN and VERY EASY to enter. Go for it!

I’ll make this quick. Due to the utter lack of participation thus far, I am extending the contest to the end of the month…the 31st. I have far too many gracious sponsors and prizes for the handful (or less) of people so far participating. Thank you btw .

Below you see I have copy/pasted everything from the original post…. including the excruciatingly simple rules. To be quite frank, the ONLY ones that can consider this even remotely “not worth it” or similar, are those already getting $100+ for a blog review on a regular basis…

Show of hands? Hmm…

The Contest:

It’s pretty straight forward. My other two blogs; DennisEdell.com & EasyCashContests.com are brand new, and you are to write the best review you can for both (1 post/2 reviews).

I’ve extended the contest an extra 2 weeks; Good Luck!

Hello everyone! I know many of you have been eagerly awaiting this for a couple weeks, so lets get right into it!

The Contest:

It’s pretty straight forward. My other two blogs; DennisEdell.com & EasyCashContests.com are brand new, and you are to write the best review you can for both (1 post/2 reviews).

Here’s the kicker to make it interesting…..since both blogs are so new, you must rely on only your ingenuity, creativity, and the individual “About Me” pages on each blog. I’m NOT looking for “cheerleaders” or a “plug” as they say, I want honest reviews. If you do find anything “wrong”, then add it. However you must also add your thoughts on how to “fix” the issue(s). Ex: if you don’t like the colors, suggest new ones.

Just a quickie post today to ask a simple question; Are you looking for more exposure?

Well, I plan to promote the upcoming contest to provide MASSIVE amounts of exposure for all involved. Read the original post looking for sponsors, and all will become clear. So far, we are doing quite well with Cash, Advertising, Ebooks and more; coming in by both comments and email!

I want more. As much as possible. I want a nice BIG contest with MULTIPLE winners! Don’t you? The contest will take off Monday the 15th, so get your offers in now! This is your final warning .

Oh btw, be sure not to miss the extra tasty bonus at the end of the post .

Thanks!
Dennis

FINALLY! I know I know, sorry about that . We must now all congratulate, MIRJAM!!!

I’ve decided to go with the DE idea after all, for two reasons; only one of which I can fully explain now .

1. I’m thinkin’ it can be easily shrunk down and still be recognizable.

2. I’m going to be using the same Favicon on ALL my sites, but I’ve come up with way to incorporate it into the individual ad banners I will have made for each site, for what might make the ultimate branding package!

Sorry I can’t divulge anymore then that right now, as certain details still need to be ironed out. Yan knows, but he ain’t tellin’ either .

CONGRATULATIONS MIRJAM!!

I wish I could have made that blink. LOL Send me your Paypal address buddy .

Dennis

My sincerest apologies for not picking a winner yet. There are many good suggestions, and I’m waiting on some verification on whether some can actually be “shrunk” to favicon size and still “make sense”, before I announce a winner.

However, there’s no reason to hold off on a little link love! As promised, everyone that participated with an idea of their own, gets a wee extra yumminess here. *wink*

There’s more then a few, so please go through them slowly as you visit sites.
