The blog review competition continues….

We have received review numbers 3, 4, and 5 from…

• Not So Boring Life
• J A M E O – T I P S
• TrailBlogging

That means we are halfway through our blog review competition. I am still giving away money, and linkbacks throughout this promotion. Thank you for the nice reviews, keep them coming.

If you an avid reader of BAYB you may have noticed our feedburner count button was removed, and at the bottom of this post you’ll see text asking to subscribe to our feed. I will have a post as to why this is tomorrow.

However speaking of feeds, we will have a new contest underway shortly. Are you subscribed to our feed? Well if you are, you could be a proud owner of a mini fridge! That’s right, we will be giving away a mini fridge to our feed readers within the next weeks to come. To enter simply subscribe to our feed. Stay tuned for more details.

I have yet to get really personal on any of the blogs I write on. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. Since I’m not sure, I’d like to test it out a bit.

I post under the alias PoEt, but many of our readers have not seen any poetry from me. I have been writing poems for a few years and recently stopped. Blogging seems to have filled that writing void for me.

My poems are just sitting there, un-opened, un-touched. Mind you, it’s “teenage poetry” filled with emotion, but good nonetheless (I hope).

Before I start my own poetry/personal blog I figure I’d post a few poems, and see what everyone thought. I also posted on a poetry forum, and got lovely comments.

If you are interested, you can read my poem Ghost Afterlife. Please leave me a comment, thanks.

Hey ho, it’s MyBlogLog Sunday at the Pisstakers. I got my lazy butt into gear and over morning coffee took a snapshot of the 10 MyBlogLog bloggers who last visited the Pisstakers.

I then had the pleasure of surfing 10 sites and had no problem finding interesting and funny stuff to report back on. They all got a couple of links, and the blog that sends the most traffic to The Pisstakers this week gets a pound of gummi bears and a review. What greater incentive can there possibly be to get those 10 featured bloggers to write a quick plug on their site for MyBlogLog Sunday?

This is true candy-coated link love at work, people!

What is MyBlogLog?
In case you didn’t know, MyBlogLog is Yahoo’s latest golden social network, geared up for bloggers to meet and interact with other bloggers. The Pisstakers community is a shadow of the BAYB MBL behemoth, but it is a good service for all sizes of website, and big or small, we all get those face widget things in our sidebar.

So what, if it is good for bloggers, say the people with no blog! My initial reaction was the same, but think about it, anyone can click on the widgets and discover new sites that really twiddle your knobs with their style and content.

MyBlogLog is a win-win. (Unless your name is ShoeMoney and you get banned!) Last week MBL was the 34th most visited webspace on the internet, proof that it has plenty to offer surfers as well as lonely hearts blogmasters looking for inspiration and camaraderie.

There will be a permanent link on our homepage, and if you want a piece of the MyBlogLog Sunday action (plus gummi bears), get yourself on the Pisstakers widget list on the homepage around 10am coffee time next Sunday.

As we say goodbye to last weeks winner Jason Buckley, we welcome our new comment friday winner Jon Lee.

He was the first commentor that I visited and his content was pretty good, something I definitely wanted to read. After subscribing to his feed I read a little more.

Good luck with defeating your google twin!

Sorry the winner is a little late, but I’ve been a little sick.

Thanks to all the commentors! Another 20+. I’d really like to go up to 30 next week, we’ll see how that goes.

Have you left a comment on HarpzOn.com? He is donating 10$ to charity for every comment he receives on this post. Take a few seconds and make a difference.

Over at CGBB, I have invited several guest bloggers to post season outlooks of the Major League Baseball teams they follow. So far, we have about half the teams covered and are looking for a few more who would be interested in contributing.

When you get a monent, visit CGBB and review some of the ’07 outlooks. If you happen to be a fan of a team that isn’t yet spoken for, consider contributing. BE credits and some free links are a small reward that could be yours!

[Update] I should of put this in the original post, but here it is now. Mitch at HarpzOn is hosting his own comment competition, but his is souped up with charitable donations. Each comment he receives on his post, will have a 10 dollar donation by him, basically from you. I hope you head on over and leave him a comment, for a few seconds of your time, you can do some real good. Let him know BAYB sent you! {Update}

Haven’t heard about Comment Friday?

Comment friday is a fun and simple idea. Leave us a comment about anything you want. By leaving a comment, you will have your blog visited by me, and you may even get a link out of it. I will select a blog from the comment list to be linked to and have their link on our blogroll, until next friday.

Our Comment Friday’s have been more and more successful, not only am I visiting blogs, but other people are checking you out as well.

Last Friday we had 17 comments and we chose Jason Buckley as our winner.

This week it just might be you.

This is Blog about your Blog’s first blog carnival. I have included 20 articles submitted by fellow bloggers. The qualifications were simple, I just asked for your best post. By just asking that, we have received a nice amount of submissions on a variety of topics. I encourage you to visit some of these blogs if you find their titles interesting.

Ed the Editor presents Dow Jones plummets, Chinese laugh posted at The Pisstakers World News, saying, “The Chinese stock market fell 9% in a day and when the US markets realized it, they did as expected and panicked. China watches and smiles as they see the US markets knee jerk and sell off. Why smile when their own market has tanked? Simple, in China they don’t care because it was a short term plan to drum up some business for China!”

Lee presents Around the League 3/1/07 posted at TINO’s Bloghouse, saying, “This is a sample of a daily post I do around the world of football (this one NFL, also cover NCAA and Arena)”

Jack Yoest presents Are Business Elites Capitalists? posted at Reasoned Audacity, saying, “Your Business Blogger once partnered with a former McKinsey Consultant, a brilliant mind with a Ph.D. in Math from Columbia. I once wondered aloud why McKinsey, indeed all big business seemed to be confused conservatives.

If you are in business, doing business, creating wealth — you must be a Calvin Coolidge conservative GOP’er. Right?”
