A few hours before I leave Cebu I got this message from The Visayas Bloggers Google Group regarding the launch of a blog contest which we talked about during the First Cebu/Visayas Bloggers Meet-up.

Well, here goes…

Objective: To let a hundred Cebu Blogs bloom.

 

 

1.   The blogger has to create a new blog about Cebu.  Existing blogs with already entries or traffic are not allowed. The blog may be self-hosted, or it maybe in any of the publicly available free sites like Blogger.com, MSN LiveSpaces.com, or Wordpress.com

2.   It should be a new blog which will have a PageRank of 0 in Google, and 0 authority as according to Blog Authority, Technorati.

3.   The blogger should register at the official website: www.ccebu.net/mandaue

4.   Upon approval, he/she should do the following (this will also be provided) :

o    Insert a code that will enable a statcounter, which will count the number of unique visitors and total them.

o    Insert a code that will enable the blog to carry the blogroll of all the other accepted contestants.  That means all official blogs will carry a link to all other Cebu Blog contestants.

o    The blogs may also be asked to carry the logos of the sponsors of the Mandaue Business Month.

o    Other than the above, the Cebu blogs are free to add whatever widgets, advertisements, or add-ons that they feel will add to the value of the blog or to their own income.  However, please do note that a blog with overwhelming clutter may earn less points in the theme and overall aesthetics category.

I’ve just received word from the Visayas Bloggers Google Group that there’ll be conference with Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia this July 14, 2008 at Cebu City Sports Club at 11am. Wilson Ng is inviting 15 bloggers to join the press conference. The press conference is to highlight Cebu and Visayas bloggers and it is also a chance to meet and greet the Governor. The press conference is in relation to the Mandaue Business Month to be held in Cebu International Convention Center this August.

So, calling all Visayas/Cebu based bloggers to please let our voices be heard!

So sad because I’m not able to join… -sigh-

Anyway, leave me comment if you’re interested to join the event. Cheers to us all.

Update: The Press Conference has been moved the following day, July 15, 2008, same time (11am).

I’m beginning to hate my internet connection. I was in the process of tweaking my blog. I was upgrading my wordpress to the latest version when this happened.

WTF. Request timed out. I’m beginning to freak out. Argh!
I hope someone from Globe Telecoms could read this.
And do something about this or I’d shop around soon. lol.

 

Get a Life.

One can start thinking of web design consulting once he is done with domain registration. Contacting someone with a web design degree is better as a lot of
web templates don’t work well with many hosts and it is not like a cv template or a
calendar template that can be used anywhere. Like  flash templates, they need to customized.
