What’s up at BB?

December 3rd 2009 · Posted in Site News · Comments(4)

Well as you may or may not have all noticed, we have not been posting much content lately. The fact of the matter is the site has grown astronomically, and we can’t keep up on the advertising end. The result is having over 61,000 visitors to this blog for the month of September, and less than 4,000 visitors to BlankestBlank.com.

So what does that all mean? That means that while people are tremendously interested in the end results, we just aren’t getting enough votes/nominations to fuel the daily feed. As much as I enjoy writing blog posts each day, I must admit some of the content (specifically MFG and Video) has been lacking in the creative department.

The solution to this matter is that Bobby and I have decided to “take off” the month of October (meaning no daily posts here, other than updates) and really focus on Blankest Blank 2.0. This will result in a much more functional layout, as well as giving us more tools to attract more return visitors. Since it’s inception, Bobby has gone on to obtain a job as a PHP coder/web developer, and I have quadrupled my knowledge of Illustrator/Photoshop. We think that with a little time, energy, sweat and tears, we can help make this site even better, more professional and more appealing.

With this in mind we ask & urge (read: beg & plead with) you to send in any helpful ideas you might have to make this website better. The more we grow and the better we become, the more you, the user get out of the site. So if you have anything you want to add, feel free to post it here, or blankestblank@gmail.com.

The exciting news is that we are coming back and better than ever! You heard us talk about it, now it becomes a reality: MONTHLY CATEGORIES! That’s right, now you winners go on to compete head-to-head with the cream of the crop each month to determine who is truly the best.

Also, stay tuned for more information about Blankest Blank’s first ever, Best Halloween Costume Contest! (More details to follow!)

Thanks for hanging in there with us and we look forward to an amazing future at Blankest Blank and Bestest Blog!

The Latest Travel Photography Blog!

December 1st 2009 · Posted in Best Blog of the Day · Comment(1)

As soon as I read today’s blog was the Latest Travel Photography Blog I was really excited to dig right in! That’s right, Notes From Different Spots, (the blog’s “official name”) takes you around the world from the comfort of your desktop!

What can I say about this blog other than it contains some of the most breathtaking photography I have ever seen. It’s really hard to do justice to these photos with words. It’s like telling someone about a really amazing piece of music, that you just have to hear to really experience. I cannot urge everyone out there enough to please visit this site at least once. Seeing these photos from New York, to Mali, and everything inbetween, you have to see it to believe it.
