SOCCSarGen Bloggers’ Review-a-Blog Contest

Labels: , ,

Welcome!

The SOCCSarGen bloggers present this Review-a-Blog contest for those who attended the blog seminar at City of Koronadal last February 02, 2008! This contest focuses on the true nature of blogging: that is, serious and meaningful content development. This is also organized as a motivation for the participants of the seminar to begin creating interesting blogs.

The whole idea is for a participant to select a blog from the list of blog sites listed below and write a holistic and honest review of that blog.

The one best review will be evaluated and three runner ups will receive gift packs and freebies!
