March flew by quickly, didn’t it? FFAF is here again.
Prize and login info after the break!
Here are the rules, more-or-less cribbed 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.
- If for some reason things get out of hand and I turn off direct publishing, please save your post as a Draft and I'll make sure it gets online.
- Sorry, I don't like the cut-and-paste posts. If you're just going to paste the same thing here that you did on the other FFAF sites, I'll probably delete it.
To make a post, just click the Register link in the WordPress section in the sidebar. Fill out the form, log in using the username you supply and the password that WordPress supplies, 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?
If you’re not into using your email to log in (or being eligible in the contest) you can use the guest account. Username: “guest” Password: “unplugme” Please leave a link to your own site in your post if you use this account.
Be sure to check out the other FFAF participants.
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: Spam.
Yours could be a tale of email spam woe, the most you’ve ever encountered. Or, you could mention about the time you fell for one of those advertising schemes and what you did about it. Or, you could recollect the most interesting spam message/comment you’ve ever received. Or, you could talk about your favorite Spam recipe. Either the unsolicited email/comment or the spiced ham product are fair game. Whatever you do, don’t just say, “I get lots of spam. It stinks!” Try to impress us all with your spam experience.
I’m offering a $10 Amazon gift certificate for the poster with the best story! (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.) New rule this month: If you do not write about the topic, you can’t win, no matter how highly your entry is voted.
There was no winner from February, since nobody bothered to “vote” in the comments. So this month the winner will be decided by using the Votio star ratings at the bottom of each FFAF post. It’s way too easy to vote this time. You can even fairly vote on your own post! Read a few things, and however you felt about what you’ve read, take the time to rate it.
Have fun, and look for my posts on the other FFAF blogs!
