AW Aug Blog Chain sign up

colbymarshall1 · 08-10-2008, 07:38 AM

Anyone want to head up an August blog chain?

L M Ashton · 08-10-2008, 04:41 PM

Are you volunteering?

colbymarshall1 · 08-11-2008, 02:59 AM

I mean, I don't really know what to do short of put the links in a list...if that's all I have to do to organize it, sure, I'm game! Someone tell me if that's all I need to do and I will post some deadlines and the like...

L M Ashton · 08-11-2008, 07:51 AM

Here's a previous one and here's another. Follow their example and you'll do fine.

Remember, as the person organizing it, you decide what the rules are.

And I'm in.

And if you want the thread title changed, let me know and I can take care of it for you.

colbymarshall1 · 08-11-2008, 08:54 AM

Hey everyone! So, I'm going to head up the August blog chain, so I hope you will join in.
Because we've waited this late in the month to start this chain, I'm going to take the first 14 participants or however many I have by Wed., Aug. 13 at 11:59 PM EST. I'd love to have more time for sign up, but we've waited so long to do it, if we don't get a move on, we won't get done in August. We'll start Aug. 14th. So, leave a post if you want in, and also leave if you'd rather be first, in the middle, end, etc. and I'll do my best to accomodate. Let's get signed up!

I will post the list as soon as it's complete. And will update regularly.

The chain works the following way:

It's not themed.
The first person just makes a post on their blog.
The person following will take some element from the previous blogger and make their own post, inlcuding that element. Please link back to the previous poster with a permalink and also include a link to the blog of the next poster.
The last person tries to tie their post to the first poster and to the previous poster
Please post the links in your blog of everyone participating in the chain, if possible.

So far, we have:
