We’re Packing Up

Written by John Cow on January 16th, 2008

Just have a few minutes to cram this post in before time’s up, so we’ll cut to the chase. We’re tired, worn out after the evil entrecard hordes mobbed and clobbered our hides. Who would have known we’d get such an ass-whooping just for dropping a widget! :shock: Its time to pack our bags and leave. Its time for a holiday!

We’ve got tickets to go visit the beautiful pastures down udder under, in the land of the Problogger. With limited Internet access, a nearly empty drafts section and a lazy attitude, we won’t be around much and you boys and girls will be asked to entertain yourselves for a little while. We’ve done it before and we’re doing it again. As of now anyone can register on the blog and become a guest poster. You won’t be able to actually publish a post - or do much else besides writing one - but we will be checking the drafts section from time to time to accept posts we like.

We’ll accept anything that’s related to Internet marketing, making money online, web 2.0, web design, blogging… you get the idea. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are, how small or big your blog is - all we want is a post that’s been spellchecked, consists of a few paragraphs, preferably of ~500 words, SFW (suitable for work) images and, in English. If you think you can do all that, your post will most likely be published during our absence. Obviously you’re free to linkback to yourself, but try not to make it too spammy. 1-2 links should be enough.

cow-s.jpgWe’re expecting to return in even better form next month, after replenishing our vitamin D levels with some sun from Down Under, something we don’t get too much of here in Ireland. :cool: It’d be nice to see the RSS subscribers doubled when we get back, so lets see how well you all can manage the farm while the cows are out.

By the way, we’re currently featured in the DailyBlogTips Bloggers Face-Off. Our ‘opponent’ is Dave Peralty, who besides being the author of XFEP.com, is also the marketing director for SplashPress Media, owner of Performancing. Seems he’s up on the poll after he posted about it too! It makes for an interesting read, especially since we seem to have roughly the same ideas about things. Dave is just better at being serious than us. Oh, and we removed the top ad bar because after this week’s testrun, we’ve had nothing but complaints about it. Some people even reported errors.

    Have a great trip and come back nice and refreshed. I’ll have to put on my thinking cap, sharpen my pencil and see if I can write something before you get back :grin: Hey, it’s worth a shot, right?

  10. Happy Hols…and Great to see you featuring in daily blog tips…Hope you dont give birth to a calf during your hols :evil:

  11. There aint no sun down here at the moment ;)

    Depends where you go of course, but generally the weather has been lousy this year so far. Had 2 days out on my boat in the sun and picked up a bit of a tan, but now the sun has gone into hiding again :twisted:

  12. You got a dope blog going here Cow… Hopefully you won’t need to take down that ExitCard. I just dropped mine and I see that most people are still using EntreCards (n00bs). Have a good night!

    P.S. You ever need help farming… (consider it done :cool: )

  18. Bryce says:

    You’ll love it down here, although if you’re going to Sydney - they look set to have showers for a while, may I ask where in Australia you’re going? It’s a big, fantastic place.

  19. preblogging says:

    Cool, I might just take you up on this offer Bob. Maybe I will publish my article on how I managed to get my pagerank back and how I even got bumped up that little bit higher to a PageRank of 4.
