How to - Group Writing Project | PureBlogging

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!

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.

(Comments wont nest below this level)

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. :grin:

[...] If these steps don’t solve this problem, try it again just in case you missed something or by some other fluke the initial repairs didn’t take. If a second attempt still doesn’t solve the problem, it’s time to start thinking about a fresh install. NOTE: This post was entered into the PureBlogging group writing project.

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.

I am in for this project. I did my “how to” on describing the rules of the most popular tailgating games and how to play them.

I linked to the post within my post for good measure. Best of luck to everyone!
