THE NEW, NEW BLOG SHOWCASE
Have you started a blog in the last three months? Are you desperately searching for a way to get someone besides your goofy brother to visit your site? Or are you someone who's been blogging forever, who's looking for some fresh talent to fill that hole that Rachel Lucas left on your blogroll?
Whichever category you fall into, the answer to your problem can be found at Showcase.
If you're the new kid on the block, Showcase will post a link to your best post for a week. All you have to do is drop Simon a line at simon-at-showcase.mu.nu and you're guaranteed instant world-wide fame* See this post for details.
And if, like me, you're the grumpy old man sitting on the porch in his rocking chair with a shotgun across his lap, just go to the Showcase page any old time to find lots of gul-durned whippersnappers to shake your fist at.
You've got problems? Showcase has solutions.
*(not a guarantee)
NOTE: I meant to post this about 3 weeks ago. Apparently I never took it out of draft status :-/
Thanks Harv. I've been meaning to put him on my blogroll, and this is a perfect excuse to do so.
The NBS helped my site a lot!
Harvey: thanks again for all the support...and it doesn't hurt to put this up now - the more reminders the better.
Simon - It's very much my pleasure. Bear's NBS was one of the best things to ever happen to the blogosphere (I got a big boost there myself, way back when). It broke my heart to see him shut it down, especially when the sponsorship issue was part of the reason for the breakdown, and I was in the thick of things.
For so long after the Bear quit, I wanted to see it revived. I thought about doing it myself, but knew I didn't have the time to devote to make it a worthwhile endeavor. I'm just so glad that you picked up the gauntlet on this and brought back a forum for discovering unsung talent.
