Re: Re: OFFICIAL JAN WINNERS - ALL 31 DAYS
Micheal, please elaborate on Blog Comment Box. Thass gone over my tired noggin.

I was trying to be firm ... as opposed to rude. Thank you for your remarks. Glad you enjoyed the Jan Chal, Michael. Is it possible that overall what we are seeing here is blogging as socialnetworking which is not technically in a category of writing? Then again, online digitally it can be for many. And wow is it hard to score.

Earl & I have known the latter for many years. All the way back to 2008.

So here's our 2012 stats. Teff suggests to Earl we go ahead with serial prompts about Jan 3. Then he leaves open the final prompt section so I can fill it in. Which I fill in and email to group almost seven days or more before the serial start on Jan 27. One blogger objects. Kit, I think. But she says okay here in the forum. Then Julie whom is competing prods along alternative prompts --- creating the month long ending chal with a grading curve.

Next we needed to reconfirm about Jan 5 --- the blog chal for FEB. I took on all FEB Chal myself while Earl totally aware I was doing FEB. We agreed that at cross over points as one month ends folks still feel randy enough to keep blogging. We write to each other. However, not being in the know, confusion began for some and we lost bloggers as a result.

Eventually (FEB 17) using the system stated for scoring --- I called the Jan Chal. winners. Then we had more objections. This could have come about because even though one must go to the group page: "30-Day Bloggers GroupOpen in new Window. to email prompts, folks may be reading on smaller screens these days & missed my name below Earl's as his appointed --- oh heavens --- Judge. I also had BLOG Contests of my own in 2009 when Earl was participating One open to views, one extinct.

Just in case March goes down ... we needed to free ourselves from way ago --- Jan. Nor keep everyone waiting. Scoring --- kept me busy about three days, PLUS. What do I gain here, really?

I do achieve responsibility met for this challenge and this group for myself and Mr. Zacarias and all the bloggers whom I hope will continue to stretch their levels of writing and consider joining us again.

Oh and despite minor squabbles, I learned a few new things about detailed prompts (etc) and those I shall share in the FEB 29 closing remarks which will be very brief.

Thanks --- Once more write to me --- get a books worth back.

Cordially, TEFF
