Two Endeavours Are Worthy Of Our Support
I’m all for promoting worthy sites and there are two bloggers who run regular contests. The livewire US blogger Bart invites one-line responses for a terrific concept called Rhyme And Treason. He gives us the first few lines of a poem, a song or a nursery rhyme – and all we have to do is `twist’ the last line. Simple as that. Check it out at Bartraeke.
And a UK-based blogger runs a daily caption contest at YesBut Images. He posts images every day and invites us to write witty captions for them. Simple as that. He says he’s getting more visitors, but fewer entries, so do help him along by encouraging the concept.
I’d just like to point out that both bloggers post links to the sites of those who enter. While I’m all for spreading the word on creativity and a bit of fun, entering their contests also brings you the added benefit of reciprocal traffic.

Dear Gerald and Moosey,
Wonderful to hear from you. You'll notice I left a comment on your site about two hours ago - so it's great to have re-established contact.
Sorry to hear about Penelope and the trauma of the flood.
Have not forgotten you. How could I?
Take care and stay safe

Hi Keshi,
Great - they're making a supreme effort and deserve some spirited support.
I'm sure you'll enjoy their sites.
Let me know ...

Hi David
Thanks for the support.
Have a good day.
There’s something different about London today, Mrs YesBut say’s she remembers seeing it as a child - its called the Sun.
Hi YesBut,
You are always assured of my support when it comes to your creative endeavours.
No question about it.
Laughed at your comment about Mrs YesBut and the sun. Hope it brightens your day and that my post sends some traffic your way.
Do keep me posted.
Keep smiling

Well of course you'd think it's a great concept, since you gave it to me.
Thanks for the heads up! I'd been to Yes's before, barts was fun - I enjoyed reading all the answers. Nothing like a fractured fairytale, is there?
Hi Bart,
The concept was one thing, you taking it and running with it and fine-tuning it is what really counts.
Good on ya
Keep smiling
David
Hi Victorya,
Glad you liked Bart's site. Hope you told him that!
He's off on a weekend jaunt shortly ....
And YesBut has been in great form, too.
Keep smiling
David
