It is Contest Time!!! A few months ago, Activerain launched the ability to have an outside domain name feed directly from your Activerain blog. Since then, many have set up their blog. So, with that in mind, here is the theme for the new contest:
How are You Using Your Outside Domain for your Activerain Blog to Create Business?
We want to know what you are doing with your outside blog!! Are you marketing it in your materials? Have you posted it on your business cards? We want to know how your outside blog is helping your business grow.
This contest is only for those of you who have your own domain name for your Activerain Outside Blog. Example: My outside domain for my Activerain blog is http://myrtlebeachhomesblog.com not http://myrtlebeachblog.activerain.com or http://activerain.com/myrtlebeachblog. If you are needing to set up an outside domain for your blog, follow this tutorial to set one up in minutes.
Also, since this is an Activerain contest, outside domains for blogs from other platforms (wordpress, blogger, etc) will not be eligible.
Here are the Rules:
- All posts must be tagged, Fall Outside Blog Contest 2008.
- All posts must be submitted to Outside Blogs Group.
- All posts must be original content written after today's date.
- One entry per person.
- All entries must include a link to your Outside Domain Blog.
- Contest Ends on November 7th.
Prizes!

All Entries will receive 200 bonus points for entering.
Judges
Jeremy Blanton- Founder of Outside Blogs Group
Carolyn Tann-Starr- Queen of Club Chaos
Jason Crouch- Yeah, we all know Jason....
Look at you a judge...Very nice.
Josef, this is my first time and I must say it is very interesting... :-)
My outside blog, C, is landparkblog.com. Just so you know that it's not my business site of elizabethweintraub.com. Although, if you go to the latter, to the bottom, you'll find my blog, which will pop up in another window. But I post everything on Active Rain to my outside blog -- everything except member-only posts. In any case, Ms. Judge, I will submit something tomorrow morning.
Hey, I've been meaning to ask you. Why don't you upload a different photograph of yourself? It's a lovely background and all, but that deadpan look just isn't you, C. :)
LOL @ Elizabeth. I'll call you later, sweetie and we can chat about it (giggle).
Let me think abou this.......Jason and Jeremy judging me? I may have to think about being judged by Jeremy and Jason......
Julie, Julie and Julie... we love you ladies. I'm sure we can be objective and respectful. I hope you do enter. You always have such an interesting way with words... :-)
Today is the last day to post your entries for this contest!
I am having some issues with my outside blog - for instance today mine isnt even uploading??? www.northwestarkansasrealestateblog.com
anyone else having issues?
Mine actually disappeared for a hot moment (LOL). They are coding and doing upgrades. Nicky, you may just have to try again a little later on. I'm working in draft mode right now. Make sure you save what you are working on as a draft in your main AR dashboard to syndicate to your individual outside bog later on. :-)
