Welcome to the Krewe Blog Challenge 2014!
The purpose of this is get more people into blogging.
With the popularity of twitter and facebook, there are many important things
that get lost in the noise of the Internet due to the volumes of content being
created every second. Our facebook page is a great example. There are a number
of great posts related to fixing specific issues or things people have done. Unfortunately,
there is not an effective search mechanism for finding these and they get lost
in the every changing timeline. Blogging fixes that. By posting a fix to a
problem on a blog, it get’s crawled by search engines, indexed, and is ever
available. Also, blogging is a great way to increase your reach and brand if you
are looking to build a bigger presence on the web.
So How is this going to work? Well, here are the rules…
1.
Anyone is free to join. To participate in the
prize portion of the contest, you need to blog a minimum of 1x a week through August 24th, 2014.
