Well, the summer seems to be fading from my small corner of the midwest, and I figure it's time to start a new blogchain.

Rules (shamelessly stolen from Asorum's post in the last blogchain) are:

  • First person in the chain finds the last post of the last chain and takes an element from that to base her blog post on so that the previous chain and this chain are connected. You'd also provide the permalink to that post in your post, and you would provide the link in your post to the next post to come after you.
  • Second and subsequent participants in the chain will take an element from the entry before theirs and encorporate it into their post. So for me to post an entry, I need to read yours and find something about your post. Maybe you wrote about cooking with avocadoes. I could mention guacomole and Mexican food. The next person could talk about spicy food. The next person about spicy cologne. The next about body odor. The next about smelly apartments they've lived in, and so on.
  • The last person in the chain takes an element from the post before theirs and from the first post to tie the chain together.
  • Put the AW Chain technorati tag into the body of your post. That code is <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/awchain" rel="tag">awchain</a> and you'll need to do it in html view.
  • When you're done your post, you provide a permalink to that particular entry in your post here in this thread. Because as you post to your blog, that particular entry will fall off the front page and we need to be able to find it easily. :D
  • Every participant posts a copy of the html code listing all the participants into their blog. It can be into your sidebar or into a blog entry. Then at the end, when we have all the permalinks, post it again with permalinks.
  • Comment on every post in the chain, with the exception of those you can't. Some people have blogs that don't allow those who don't have accounts at those blogsites to comment, ie LiveJournal

If you want to participate, post a link to your blog below. I'll collate them, and hope to get something kicked off in the next week or two.

I've added you to the list - basically, you blog about something suggested by the previous post in the blog. You'll get the hang of it when we're up and running. :)

Okay, I'm game(y) again. It'll take me that long to remember how to do those taggie and sticky and linkie thingies again(ie).

Gawd - oh, and Blogger is universally down this morning, for some reason.

I'm not right in the head this morning, either :D

I'd like to participate. I'm trying to get more active with my soundoff blog which is located:

http://www.soundoff-blog.com/

I started it as just a way to pop off on something that interested me from time to time, but I'm looking to get a little more regular with it.

OK - I'll get the first post in the chain up tomorrow. I've shuffled the order around a little so Jim has a chance to get a feel for how the chain works before he has to write his post.

Please remember to post this code at the end of your blogchain post so readers can follow the chain through.

Ooh, excellent - I can be next and not interrupt my Friday schedule (or should I say, confuse this whole chain with my Friday schedule :D )
