Release your inner blogger, and you could be a winner with DaniWeb

Ever thought about starting a blog right here on DaniWeb and can’t think why you haven’t?

Ever wondered if anyone would really be interested in what you have to say about IT?

Ever dreamed about getting all your thoughts ‘out there’ to share with the DaniWeb community, and beyond, outside of the normal forum environment?

Ever hoped someone would come along and give you the gentle prod needed to get started?

Now is your chance to shine, with the inaugural DaniWeb blogging competition. Starting right now, right here, everybody who blogs in July will have a chance to win the coveted ‘Blogger of the Month’ title and a prize of an Amazon.com gift certificate to the value of $250.

Let me repeat that: start blogging now and you could win a $250 cash value prize.

Here’s how it will work.

All blog postings made during the month of July 2006 will be read by the moderator team here at DaniWeb, who will nominate those blogs that they think worthy of consideration for the title and the prize. This will be on the basis of both the quality of the postings and their popularity as determined by views and comments. Quality will win over quantity ever time, but a blog is something that needs regular input so bear this in mind.

The short listed blogs will be announced here during the first week of August 2006, and every member of DaniWeb will be given a chance to vote for their favorite on a strict one member one vote basis.

The short listed blog with the most votes as at midnight on August 31st will be the winner.

Here are the rules:

1. DaniWeb staff writers are not eligible for entry
2. The moderating team decision is final
3. Anyone found attempting to cheat, by using multiple personalities to inflate blog read counts and comments or to cast multiple votes, will be banned from all further DaniWeb competitions

And that’s it, apart from saying good luck and let the blogging commence!
