I don’t know if you noticed but PureBlogging finally reached 1000 RSS subscribers! Yep, the little counter up there sits on 1040 subscribers as I type this post. To celebrate reaching this milestone I thought we should give something away.
What about money? Everybody likes money, right?
Here are the rules:
- Write a “How to” post. No matter what your niche is, you should be able to come up with a “how to” post… “How To Start A Blog” or “How To Find A Date” or “How To Paint Your Toenails.” You get the idea. Please only submit new posts… old posts will not be eligible for prizes.
- Please consider putting a link back to this post so that your readers know you’re participating. It is not required – but it would be appreciated to help spread the word.
- Use the contact form and send me the URL of the post, the title and your name.
- Once the final list of entries is published, you should browse through them and post a list of your favorites. You can pick a top 10, top 5, top 3… whatever you feel like. (Please don’t include your own entry on this list.)
- Points will be awarded to the entries selected on your list of favorites and the authors of the 3 entries receiving the most points will win $100 each.
- Entries can be submitted until midnight of next Tuesday, May 27. I’ll post the list of entries on Wednesday, May 28 and then give you guys a few days to post your lists before announcing the winners.
And there you have it. You even get to decide the winners!
Good luck and have fun!

Sounds like a great idea for a group writing project, count me in on this one!
And congratulations for hitting the 1,000 subscribers mark.
Thanks Tay! I’m behind on feed reading so I didn’t realize that you have a group writing project going on too. Count me in!
I also encourage everyone else to participate in Tay’s project. Check it out at:

David, congrats on hitting the 4-digit milestone. I just blogged about your gwp:
PureBlogging’s How To Group Writing Project
By the way, on my site there’s a Group Writing Projects Calendar that lets you see which gwps are currently going on at a glance, including Tay’s.
Congrats on hitting the big 1k David – that’s always a great milestone.
Hopefully I’ll have time to get out a “How To” post. Great idea.
Thanks Adnan! It’s great to finally get 1000 but I’ve still got some work to do if I’m going to catch you.
Great idea David.
I hope so… already have a couple of entries.
Congrats David for hitting the 1k mark.
Group writing idea sounds interesting.

sounds like a great idea. I will try and get an entry in!

Already submitted my post to the project. Sorry for this mildly lame comment but I needed to add something so I could get my email on the “notify of followup comments” email list. Being on the list makes it much easier to track this post.
BTW: Good idea.
