Blogosis

Bruce, send me your PayPal information to justindupre @ blogosis.com so I can send you about 90 bucks. You win! I believe Andrew Messer is also giving you a 125 x 125 advertisement spot on his blog as well, so I will hook you two up.

This month there were a little over 50 entries, however, most of them were for just email RSS subscriptions. I’m a bit disappointed that only a few actually participated in actively helping me advertise the contest by posting blog posts (which I even provided for you). In the end, it is my fault though, because I have almost lost most of my time to comment other blogs to get more traffic here.

I’m going to be killing this contest, probably for a few months. I’m really sorry that I have to, but I barely have enough money to pay this month’s rent after giving this away (I withdrew cash within 10 cents of 0 from my accounts >.<.) I’m killing it because I realized I shouldn’t be struggling to pay rent, and I will also be applying to transfer to a new college. I need about 1500 dollars a term to study at this school, which isn’t a lot, but I don’t have that kind of money, and neither do my family, and I really want to get the hell out of Hua Hin and Webster University.

Once I know I am secure, the contest will start up again though. I promise. I know I will lose all my subscribers and I deserve it. This blog is failing miserably. I’m going to have to start hiring some Indians or someone to start writing me some blog posts… or guest posts! If anyone wants to be a guest blogger here, just let me know. Send an article to justindupre @ blogosis.com and if I like it, you will see it here!

Sorry and thanks and I hope you all understand my situation.

Yeah! Just thought I would remind you all here, now, that any extra entries for the blogosis monthly blog contest end today. I haven’t added up the entries, but i don’t think it is as strong as it was last month. The amount of email subscribers may have gone up, but thats about it. So, if you did everything for all 11 chances, you might stand a pretty good chance to win.

So, you are gonna get about 90 dollars (10% of what I make online each month; tracked on the side bar) if you win, and 350+ Entrecard credits that I have gathered over the month.

Yup, just a little reminder that you could win. Check back in a couple days to see the winner.

How have I been, you might not be asking? I’m not too shabby. I am a bit tired, but not too bad at all. My grades in class are slipping from a 3.8 GPA to probably less than 3, but I am not too interested in school anymore. I make more than enough money to live, working only an hour a day, however the heck I want to here in Thailand, and if I could find someway to stay here without an Education visa, I would probably take it. My parents would kill me for that one, but gotta live your one life the way you want to.

I’m going to stop this post before I rant… I had a really good idea from that last sentence to rant on…

What is something you have always wanted to see in a blog about blogging, yet you just haven’t seen it yet? Well, now I am giving you the chance to help me design a new theme for Blogosis. Should it have 3 columns, 2, or 17!? Do you want to see any special art or effects hanging around the blog? What colors seem appropriate for this kind of blog?Dark and scary, or pink and purple fruitiness?

I am also holding another contest for all our readers. This time you need to make something. Make the Blogosis.com brand/logo. I am not talking about that huge ass banner up there. I need something that grabs the readers attention and says “Wow, this is what Blogosis is!” The logo will be an essential part of the blog, and most of the blog design will be based around the logo theme. This means you need to play with typography, and maybe create a little logo (like what Darren Rowse has at problogger.net). I am running this contest on a few websites around the internet, but if someone from my blog wins you will get $50 via PayPal. You will also get a link in the footer and blog roll for as long as I own this blog!

So, send me the logos via email at justindupre @ blogosis . com, or leave a link in the comments. This is an excellent way to get some reputation and a little extra pocket change for all your little expenses. Enter today!
