project blogger: Belated Project Blogger Judging Results for Week 3 - 07/27/07 11:48 PM
Opening Disclaimer
I want to make it clear that I am offering things up as I see them. These are my opinions as a somewhat educated observer. I am not saying I'm better by any means. An extra pair of eyes on anybody's work, can offer up information that perhaps was once not fully considered. I myself and guilty of a lot of errors, and there's a lot of room for improvement in what I do. While blogging is not about being perfect, continuous improvement through constructive feedback can help everyone be more successful. I hope that my criticisms are seen … (8 comments)

project blogger: Project Blogger -- Week 10 Judging Results - 06/21/07 10:18 PM
Dear Active Rain/Project Bloggers, First and foremost I stand up and applaud all of you for Blogging. 35% of the Realtor world still doesn't use websites so I am awed that you guys are out there using progressive technology and doing the right thing. I also respect each of you for putting yourselves out there to be judged. It's not easy to do that. I have been writing since I was a kid (books, plays, movies and scores of articles). My ego has been shattered into a 1000 pieces. I've used duct tape to piece it back together. But every critic … (83 comments)

project blogger: Week 5 Project Blogger Judging - 05/17/07 07:05 PM
I'd like thank Galen for the time he put in this week.  I'd say for those of you that wanted Simon, you've come closest so far with Galen's input. Which I'd say ads up to some pretty thoughtful suggestions.
To introduce you to Galen here is a little background on him.

project blogger: Project Blogger Week 4 Judging Results - 05/11/07 06:15 PM
Wow, this was was incredibly tough.  I know that's cliché, but really it's true here.  I had a tough time sorting out how to order the winners.  The week seamed much weaker for some, while other teams have kept it consistent.  I've seen at couple teams pull away from their strengths. It' is important to stay on top with what we're good at.
I apologize again for the delay on week 3. But Without further delay here are the results for week 4.   
Vote for Week 4 here.
