Problogger's "How-To" group writing project is done and received 343 submissions! That makes me .3% of a giant group of people who are silly enough to write on a topic chosen by someone else. For free. (BTW, that's point-three percent, not three percent, proving just how insignificant I am in the grand bloggy scheme of things.)
There were prizes for winners chosen at random, but how was I to get myself to Spain for a week long stay at a beach front apartment in Estepona on the Costa del Sol anyway? I am much too busy hanging out with Paris Hilton and being seen in all the "right" places. (Oh gross, I think I just threw up a little bit thinking about what that experience would be like.)
No, I entered to see if I could perhaps generate some new readers for my blog. Bookkeeping for Bloggers was probably not the best topic choice since this is my personal blog, but I don't want to start a tax/accounting blog. Then I would actually have to commit to writing about that stuff all the time. I won't! I won't! I won't! I will, however, write about it occasionally and post it here. I'll try to keep that sort of nonsense to a minimum, though, oh ye who must be entertained at all times.
In retrospect, I probably should have written a how-to related to the TV show Medium for my Medium Dreams blog, since that is an actual paying gig and could use more readers and commenters. I said, COULD USE MORE READERS AND COMMENTERS. But...well, can you think of any how-to's on the subject of Medium?
How to survive on DVDs and infrequent cast appearances until Medium's mid-season premiere
How to save hours of your time by not reading entertainment blogs because the Medium stars never do anything shocking or unwise in public so they aren't going to be mentioned or photographed in there anyway
How to find information on your favorite Medium star who isn't Patricia Arquette (because she is everywhere so you need no help there)
Hey, I think I just came up with a post for Medium Dreams.
