So it's Free For All Friday thing and letting my readers make new posts to my site. This should be dangerous...
Prize info after the break!
Here are the rules, more-or-less cobbed from the FFAF site:
- Please keep it somewhat clean...if you don't think I would post it, don't. (Note that my use of profanity here is pretty limited - there is an actual policy I abide by, but posting the policy would violate the policy.)
- I will delete and or edit any posts I feel are inappropriate.
- Please don't forget to sign your post and pimp your blog. If I don't know who you are I can't come to your blog and share the fun.
To make a post, just click the Register link in the WordPress section in the sidebar. Fill out the form, log in using the credentials you supply, click "Write" in the toolbar, check the FFAF category in the box on the right side of the page, type your post into the Post box, then click "Publish". Easy enough?
Be sure to check out the other FFAF participants. I learned about this thing from Val, and I've been meaning to participate for a while, but only recently had the means in place to accomplish it.
And now for the contest info...
If you're looking for something to say besides, "Hi, nice blog, here's mine: [link]", here's a topic to try: Snow Incidents. If you've ever had an "incident" in the snow, post about it. Post about the time you wrecked your car, or the time you broke 32 bones in a horrible snowboarding mishap. It doesn't have to be terrible, but those are certainly more interesting. I'll post at least one of mine to get you started, but I'm giving you notice so that you can think about what you want to write. Of course, you can leave a simple post if you want, but...
I'm offering a $10 Amazon gift certificate for the poster with the best story - We'll all vote afterward! (Family members are excluded from winning prizes, but are welcome to contribute. This contest is by-the-seat-of-my-pants spontaneous, so the rules may change at any time.) In fact, as the stories start pouring in, feel free to leave comments on the posts to vote for the one you like. Be clear that you're leaving a vote.
Have fun, and look for my posts on the other FFAF blogs!
So Stinking Cold
I checked the weather on the computer this morning, and it said the temperature was 1 degree. 1 degree? Does it ever get that low here? I don't remember the last time the temperature dipped below 10, much less got...
Blue Light
I walked with Brian down the dark hallway of the unfinished residence hall on that cold December evening. Construction had halted for the holidays and we were curious what the place would look like, since this would be our last...
New year of hope
This is pretty open-ended, isn't it? I guess, fundamentally, I hope that my luck changes. Ever since my run-in with Cardinal Kroll (#68) I've not been doing so well. People can look from outside and say I've been fortunate, but...
My College Application
This is exactly the question I had for one of my essays for college entrance, except I had to pick one. I think I ended up picking Alan Turing. He's the guy who people claim is the father of modern computer science. I was on a Turing kick back in ...
Bluish Sky
The sky is blue because molecules in the Earth's atmosphere absorb only the blue wavelength of light that the sun...
Free For Some...
Ah, this is my first participating FFAF. I'm not usually one to participate in meme-like activities, but this one seemed like an intriguing way to meet new bloggers, and I'm interested in that. In fact, I've already added a few...
