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.

Rhyme And Treason
Toe The Line At Bart’s Blog
If you enjoy a laugh and if you chuckle at irreverence, then check out Bartraeke. He has launched a new game that is getting a fair bit of attention. He gives you the first few lines of a nursery rhyme, well-known song lyric or poem - and you can chip in and provide your own take on the last line. And because Bart is, well, Bart, you can be as funny as you want.

Six Of The Best
They Get My Vote Every Time
Maybe it was nostalgia, maybe it was just my attention to detail (I’m a journalist, remember!) but a few hours ago I went back to the very first instalment of Aussiejourno’s Weekly Blog Awards. It was back on 24 February and the list then comprised only the Top Ten, as opposed to the Top 50 now. It is my very great pleasure to congratulate six bloggers who have featured on the Awards roll of honour every single week since their inception.
They are Rambling Traveler who started at No.2; The Back of my Headboard who started at No.3; Dance With the Sun who started at No.4; Bartraeke who started at No.6; Colorado Bob who started at No.7 and Allan Cook who started at No.8.
