Let’s Keep Blogging!

Yes, we will be continuing our Blogging Contest
through the month of May!

To participate, you need to submit
at least one post a week (by 3PM on Friday).

Every week, we will have a weekly “Post Power Player” from each grade (two from 6th, one from 7th, and one from 8th).  The Power Players will be chosen based on the number of comments each post garners throughout the week.  At the end of the month, we will announce the “Best Blogger.”  This student will have received the most comments on the posts published throughout the month.

You have a multitude of options!  Well, actually two:

  1. An activity from the current Student Blogging Challenge Week (the link will take you to Week 10’s challenge!).
    OR
  2. A Free Post.

As we have stated in the previous post, there are a couple of ways to improve your chances of receiving comments (creating great posts and commenting on other blogger’s posts).  Check out this awesome blog for easy to read information.

Don’t forget about the catch!

Comments from your HMS classmates are worth one comment while comments from other students are worth DOUBLE!!

  • Use the list of student or class blogs to find student bloggers who are not from HMS. Remember those class blogs with names in mauve have a list of students in the sidebar or in a list on a page on the blog.
  • Participating in the Student Blogging Challenge and getting featured in the SBC Flipboard Magazine are great ways to attract visitors to your blog (here is Justin O’s SBC 7:1 post that is currently featured in the magazine!).
