Nice to see the contest is open for business – now we just have to blog about it and get everybody over here and vote, your pageviews for this month is going to skyrocket
But you deserve it!
May I suggest adding a title/alt tag to the images, so that when users are holding their mouse over the image, it will say the name of the site – or possible add a link (target=”_Blank”) on them so voters can visit the sites too?
I’d love to check out all the entrants but they’re not clickable.

@blogrpro, klaus and shae.
I presume that Dan(Dankeller) is using Wp-Polls, which unfortunately doesn’t have the ability of adding links to a poll.
@Admin.
a small suggestion, it would be great if you could set ‘Sort Poll Answers By:’ in ‘Poll Options’ to ‘Random’
There are some of my favorite websites listed there and I wish I can vote multiple time, but I guess its not possible. SO I voted for one which deserve it from my point of view. While voting I have taken consideration if some points like
Quality of Blog posts
Frequency
Socializing
Commenting
May the best one win.

I m interested in setting up an online blog but have no idea where to start! any help on how to set one up or just any general tips would be much appreciated! also how do blogs become popular? do people just stumble across them?
I’m starting a blog and I need something to write about. I really have no idea. What are good sites that have news, etc?I seriously have no idea. I’d like to blog about maybe some good artists.
I read about all these people who make money with Twitter, but I am not sure how they do it. Does Twitter reward you for making tweets or something like that? I am a total Internet newbie and just looking to makes some extra money to pay the bills. I guess I just don’t understand. Anyone out there willing to fill me in?
Some people come to article submission to make the topic like this good post better. We think that you could do the same action.
Darn I was hoping that I would make it….

Beautiful contest to be done. I think it will encourage blog owners to develop their blog having qualitative content with interest.
