EYB! - COLD OUT THERE! ;)

Well, the temperature has sure come down in this neck of the woods! When I left for work yesterday morning at 8:30AM it was only 46 degrees (Fahrenheit), kinda chilly! Bet we have an Indian Summer soon though and the temps hit the 90s again. I kinda hope so, as I'm not ready for a long hard winter if we start this early! What about you? Come on over to the forums (http://www.exposeyourblog.com/phpBB3) and tell us about the weather in your area! I honestly want to know if it is chilling out there too!?

With this cool weather I guess you all are out cleaning up the yard, winterizing your house, etc., as the surfing is way down this past few days. And I mean way down. And that is causing the credits to go down or away on many blogs, because we do have a few surfers every day that surf a lot! It may be time to log into your account and see if you have any credits left for your banners and your blogs, and to surf some to get your banners and blogs seen again!

I'm at a tough point here... As I have said before, I'm not a big fan of sending newsletters out all the time, as I almost consider them to be spam mail. And many times, since ExposeYourBlog! is not out to make money or sell you something (although you can purchase a Pro account and help pay the cost of running the site!! ;) ), there isn't a lot to say! The coding is mostly done, although I am working on raising the money to make the Forums look like the surf site, and not much else is happening. So, the only reason to really post a newsletter right now is to get back in front of you and get you surfing again... And I don't like doing a newsletter just for that reason..... But when I send a newsletter, it gets you all back to surfing for a few days!! Catch 22....

If you have read this far, send me a PM in the forums, sorry, only the forums, stating you got this far and have the words Catch 22 in the message, and I will give you 50 credits.

For the month of October, starting October 1, I will have a contest running to help boost your credits as well. More on this later. ;) But you will only find out about it the last week of September via the forums!!

Back to surfing for me!!

Happy Surfing!

Best of times!

EYB! - Summer Winding Down!

Welcome to September, the beginning of the end of Summer! I pray everyone had a great summer, full of fun and sunshine, when it wasn't raining!, and is ready to surf the winter away. ;)

ExposeYourBlog! has a new owner, however, don't fret!! In my current, and pray-fully permanent, state of life, i am unable to own anything. I have donated the site to The Order of Brothers of Reconciliation, which has assigned me as the Chief Admin for the site. You will see NO changes, due to the change of ownership though! Well, with the exception of when I find the right person to do the work, the forums will look like the surf site in skin looks. :) We will continue to accept ALL blogs, that meet our prior requirements.

Well, let me take that back, there is a change. For all new paid sign ups, going forward, the fees are now going to a 501c3 tax deductible (in the US anyway!?)organization, as a donation to the Order. If you are currently a paid member, please feel free to cancel your subscription and restart! (The funds are going to be turned over to the Order once they come in on my old email account effective this month anyway!)http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

I have had a couple of people complain that their views have been low. This is true, there has been a bit of slow down in surfing this past few weeks. That said, the majority of the people complaining were not surfing either! Remember, those that are paid and surf that day have their blogs seen faster than those that aren't, followed by those that are paid (but haven't surfed that day) or those that surf that day (but aren't paid members), followed by those that haven't surfed that day, but this week, on down to those that have not surfed. So, it is best to surf daily even if only 1 or 2 sites. (Although you get better results if you surf at least 35 blogs each day.) So GET surfing. ;)

We would like to encourage each of you to come on over to the forums (http://www.exposeyourblog.com/phpBB3) and help us to get this community of surfers and bloggers growing in community! Would love to see you there and posting your questions, your thoughts, etc!

Don't forget the Surf and Chat option when you are surfing!


Happy Surfing!
Best of times!
