Comments
  1. No real comment but a heartfelt thankyou. I enjoyed the way you organized this with the slow roll out and the video clips. What I enjoyed most was being pointed in the direction of other blogs and discovering new voices. I also enjoyed the fact that several new readers have come to my blog and my audience has increased. So, job well done Saskboy and all.

    Yeah, kudos on a well run contest!

    Sorry for the delay on detailed stats, I won’t get to them tonight.

  4. I echo Dave’s and CalgaryGrit’s sentiments. A big thank you to Saskboy and the CBA team for an excellent job. I enjoyed the slow roll-out too. Looking forward to next year’s!

    You’re welcome everyone. Sorry I’ve been slow in getting detailed stats to a few who requested it, I will try in the next day to catch up.

  6. I can see from the vote totals and lack of general interest in Business blogs,why my attempts at monetizing my blog have been so bleak.

    Business had 124 votes spread between 7 blogs, If I had more friends it would have been a cinch to win, but with these totals even my friends didn’t vote. That people don’t care about their finances and future explains a lot about the state of the world finances, sub prime, massive personal, public debt, inflation, etc no one gives damn.

    I guess I should have blogged on knitting, sports or porn if I wanted to make ad money. MMMMM next year can you have a combined knitting, porn, celeb gossip and football catagory, I think I’m changing themes.
