ATTENTION: **READ THIS** if you have an LDS-related weblog

Dear community members:

I'm redoing the "bloggers" group. Those are the people whose usernames show up in blue. The advantage to being in this group is that all other users will be quickly alerted to the fact that you have a blog.

To qualify for the group, you must meet all three of the following criteria:

  1. You must have an actual weblog as opposed to a mere static website.
  2. Your blog must be 51%+ related to Mormonism in some way, shape, or form.
  3. You must have a link to your blog in your signature line.

Unlike before, your blog does NOT have to be hosted here. It can be anywhere on the Internet.

I have been going through the member list and looking at the people who designated websites in their profiles, which websites happen to be Mormonism-centerd blogs. It's a work in progress. Unfortunately, there are some of you who don't specify any website at all, and don't link to your blog, so I don't know whether or not you have one.

THEREFORE, if you meet the three above-numbered criteria, please reply to this post and I'll add you to the group. Hopefully this will generate more traffic for you.

(In the future, I'll probably get motivated enough to create another group for those of you who have LDS-related static websites that aren't actual blogs. For folks like Eric and Infymus, for example. In the meantime, first things first.)

I think there should be a unique user known as "Knuckleheads". I should be group leader.

Hi Shades,

I think my blog qualifies. www.sethpayne.com

Dr. Shades,

at this point, my site has much more than 51 % LDS related content — that is if one were to go by word count. Or, the number of pages. Yet, it is static, so please let me know in the future.

My articles have highlighted words that, when clicked on open up into many more pages. For example:

Edit: I am blue too. Umm, can I get a slightly darker shade to make my eyes pop?

Not sure I'd call the MC a blog. I did in the beginning. Now its sole purpose is to piss off Simon Belmont.

And it could not have found a higher calling.

Shades,

I need clarification on the criteria. In the past, anyone who maintained a blog on this board, had their name in blue. Are you now saying that if a poster has a blog on [i]this[/i] board and it does not meet the criteria, that the username will not be in blue?

Because I do have a blog here and my username is not in blue.

Clarify?

That's correct.

Your name isn't in blue because the material on your blog isn't 51%+ dedicated to Mormonism.

Feel free to put a link to it in your signature line, though.
