MS Paint Art - January 2008

A CHALLENGE on Orble for 2008 and a chance to get more votes.

January 5th 2008 00:53

Signature Tune

Now: Here is the challenge

Put a comment ( and thus leave votes, but voting without commenting does not count) on the post of someone you have never voted for before AND who has never voted for you.

THEN come back to this post and leave a comment saying who's post you voted on.

NOW

I will go over and comment on your post thus your votes will increase and by visiting someone new, you've started the linking system rolling.

FOR this part, anyone who leaves their response to the challenge here will receive a comment back from me whether I usually comment on your post or not.

So, circularly as an orb-le is expected to be, what goes around comes around and you will have increased your votes and for those who know me well I'll try to vote on one of your posts over and above what I normally do.

But, everyone should gain NOW from doing this, it may not capture an eternal voter but it will get everyone circulating a little more and you may even get to vote for someone who has never received a comment before.

The reporting process starts NOW, so I'm off to see who I can find and I'll come back and comment on this post just as I am asking you to do, and when YOU do it, I'll come back and vote for you.

Getting things moving on ORBLE for 2008.

I'll be back with MY comment, almost instantly.

I commented on Lydia's post, her blog is Food sense.

Now as I have reported here, should she take up the challenge and report back here, I'll owe her another comment which I'll do on another post, so thus far at least one of us ( ME) has taken up the challenge.

I await the next response.

Hopefully all of this will keep me VERY Busy.

Hey Katyzzz

Just commented on jd-crew's - claptrap post on "How Long is Too Long" - which in itself opened my eyes to just how much time I 'devote' to my beloved Apple Mac - ouch!

By the way - top idea.

I'm always commenting on blogs that take my interest, which I haven't noticed before. That's probably why I don't post so frequently - I get sidetracked with other people's sites!

Anyway, today I commented on these that I haven't commented on before:

Pat 1's new post

Jo's new post (though I have read and voted before).

But you always support my posts anyway!

Michaelie

BTW, Jo, I have tried to click on you before, and it doesn't work with the top Secret Writers' Business link. I think if you type 'Joanne Feddler' into the Orble Tag box when writing a comment it will work properly... someone please correct me if I'm wrong?

No need to go to any trouble. I know you already support my posts and I would have commented on those blogs anyway. This is mighty clever katyzzz... (haha) but more than that, I imagine it is a good idea for new bloggers, especially, and anyone needing a bit of 'encouragement' - and who doesn't need that from time to time!

Uhm, katyzzz, do ANON posts to cranks count? I love the idea, and habitually visit new sites frequently. Just never thought to invite them to visit me or to share my discoveries. Does that bang me into the shallow bastard end of the pool?

I AM Caidren, Welcome: a new poster, enjoys his pedigree, vampires and dislikes intolerant people.

Malabar a new poster and rather literate I'd say, his initial post is lengthy but an interesting read.

sweetsedatedsoul I love this name, her first post is playful and happy, we can use more of that.

Why Aren't You Pissed Off wordy, well written and raw with passion, he'll be fun to squabble with.

Well, fours my limit and now I'm off in search of a nap

This is a brilliant project katyzzz, I am still moved by the quiet encouragement provided by all of you, especially Katyzzz.

Hello, katyzzz, I visited Rose on parenting issues, we both put up posts on Britney, so sad and so stupid to lose the custody battle through want of ability to modify her behaviour, and two litttle boys suffer. Rose put on a nice post and I'd never visited her before.

Great idea, this got me off my tale.

tlcorbin, would that be Raven by any chance, and as soon as you wake from your almost perpetual siesta and I have digested your brilliant comments about your new 'visitations' I shall vote which is not unexpected and then I'll report back here with military like precision.

As for Anon, does his vote count, if it does I'll be over to see him should I ever be able to find him and noting what scant desire you have for his opinion, any Anon who cares to call me beautiful talented artistic sex hot or something else favourable will always be welcome, as for any critical Anon, well, that's another story.

Natural Animals

Katyzzz I am forever grateful for your regular visits to Natural Animals so give your visit to me to someone else who can benefit from this exercise.

I got a bit peeved with this exercise. I worked my way through half a dozen or so blogs on the side bar here, and many had not posted a blog since 2006 and none this year at all. So I felt disinclined to leave a comment.

So I came back to here and found a blog for someone who had already participated, and visited Illawarra Birds, and added a comment to her fun "recent events" blog.

I wanted my participation to reward someone who is working regularly at their blog.

That must be very frustrating for you, time is precious, I know, I'll hunt up someone for you and then get an acquaintance of mine to pay you a call, that way you'll get something from this.

I'm really sorry you had so much trouble, that is very disappointing, there would be many out there just crying out for a visit with their hands up hoping someone will visit them.

May all your efforts not go unrewarded.

Josh, Eva Ash, thanks for playing the game, I've just returned from commenting on you, and Ash and Tracy, stalking, tut, tut, psst do you think you could send over a stalker for me, 6 foot, blue eyed, blonde hair, large bank balance, great sense of humour, just a few years younger than myself, say mid forties, slim and.....I await, with bated breath my Orble stalker, but Ash and Tracy (if you weren't married, so it will have to be Ash) some of the young men here would love being stalked by you.

Amy, who's counting, when it gets to 500 I'll start, I could knock off for life on this one, if everyone played it just keep coming back to lob on a comment or two.

Lovely to see you all playing the game and benefitting too.

I just read this post, after having been here for a few weeks...(How long? I forget).

I've enjoyed browsing other blogs and I usually try to leave a comment, though honestly, if what I have to say has been said or is vacuous, I just move on.

I vote when I like what the blog post said. Lots of good stuff to find on orble.

And I seem to have become addicted to fobz, though heaven knows why, lol.
