Much appreciated.

Great Idea Darren Blog about a Thong.
Now then do I start with Kylie, Naomi campbell’s Thong
or our Rubbish Eurovision Entry Thong.

350 words, that’s going to limit me a bit, but will give it a go.

Darren Cronian | 24 March, 2007 at 10:35 am

Lee, I know, you usually write 350 words in the comments

I would love to hear more about Kylie and Naomi’s thongs, but can we keep it travel related haha

Darren

As English is not my first language, could you please explain the term Blog-A-Thon a bit more?

Regards

Guido

Darren Cronian | 27 March, 2007 at 2:21 pm

Guido, it is a name really, like the t-list, z-list etc. The Blogothon Challenge is like a marathon, where thousands of people join in and jog and run around a course. Instead this is an opportunity for thousands of people to join in and write a blog post.

The aim is to get more people involved in blogging and writing about travel. People can write a blog post [or travel article if that is easier to explain] and 3 best written blog posts win a prize.

Darren,

Thank you for your explanation. Now it is clear to me. I was a bit carried away by Lee’s comment

Darren Cronian | 27 March, 2007 at 9:17 pm

Gje, yes, I was too, I just hope I don’t get any blog posts about Kylie or Naomi!

I’ve receive a dozen blog posts so far, so keep them coming in!!

Lee Harrison (owner Select World Travel) | 28 March, 2007 at 3:11 pm

I Darren, Have put our Link in today

Darren Cronian | 28 March, 2007 at 3:52 pm

Thanks Lee, I have included a link on the challenge page.

Lee Harrison (owner Select World Travel) | 28 March, 2007 at 5:07 pm

Am Hoping Darren to get the Challenge on BBC Hereford and Worcester, so you might expect a call from Katie Johnson if she finds it of interest!!!!

Darren Cronian | 29 March, 2007 at 3:18 am

That would be great and it’s appreciated Lee! Might be best to get them to email me and I’ll reply back, as I am not at home during the day.
