Blogging for Progress

What an amazing opportunity huh?

For a long time now I have been wondering how to remove myself from the contest. Why you ask?

Part of this blog is about the ever-present argument that there's not enough originality on this site. The other part is just something I've been wondering for some time. Let's start locally, here at ProgressiveU, shall we?

I have come to the conclusion that there are some people who should simply not be on ProU.

World War II was perhaps the bloodiest war of the twentieth century, if not of all history. Estimates for total deaths range between fifty to sixty-five million. Of those, eleven million were civilians murdered systematically by the Nazis. Six million were Jews – about 72% of the total Jewish population in Europe. In some countries, nearly 90% of the Jewish population was killed.

The new contest is quickly approaching so I thought I'd better get with the program and dust off my list of hints and tips for successful ProgressiveU blogging.

Can you believe it? 23 hours to go before the official end of this semester's Blogging For Progress Scholarship.

Beginning tomorrow afternoon at 12:01 PM PST, our group of student volunteers (The Alumni Association's Faculty Members) will begin reviewing blog entries and comments, adding in points from Bonus Point Opportunities, and adding up read counts on everyone's blog.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We want you to know that we have been reading to all of your suggestions and comments regarding low interaction, few ratings, and blogs that appear to go largely ignored. And we've also heard the requests for some way to shed some light on older blogs that have gone unnoticed during this contest period. And we're listening!
