The Ultimate Blogging Challenge

Today I decided I would start something called the Ultimate Blogging Challenge! In the Ultimate Blogging Challenge I will split people up into teams and the teams will get different challenges. If one person dosen't do the challenge their team will be out of the competition! The last team with all of their team members still left in the competition will be the winner. The challenges will either be leaving a comment on a certain blog or writing a post with a topic I give you. All you need to have to sign up is a blog!

Here is how to sign up:

Important message:

There is no prize for winning. It is just to get more people to know about your blog and to get more comments! Also, it's fun!

Winner: Edublog Awards 2011

Today, the Edublog Awards were on! I was waiting only for 10-20 minutes until my category was up. My category was Best Student Blog. I got 610 votes. That was the second most in any category! I was so happy when I heard that I won. Here is my acceptance speech:

Hello! This is Jaden from Jaden's Awesome Blog. Congratulations to all of the other nominees! First, I would like to thank my former teacher, Mrs. Yollis. If it wasn't for her I would've never started a blog. Next, I would like to thank my friends, family, and everyone else who voted for me. I couldn't of done it without you guys! Thank you so much!

I hope you liked my speech! It was amazing to win Best Student Blog! Here is a badge I put on my sidebar:

About 30 minutes ago, I found out that I am in the voting round for Best Student Blog in the 2011 Edublog Awards! When I first found out that I was nominated by my dad, I was very excited. I didn't know what was coming next though. Later that day, I was nominated by my Blogging Buddy, Ethan! It still was not over! The next day, I was very excited about some news. My friend, Mark, nominated me for Best Student Blog, too! It was an honor just getting nominated!

 

Now, it would be an honor if when you finish reading this post you vote for me. Please vote for me daily! Here is how to vote for me! Follow this link: Edublog Awards!

One More Nomination

When I was nominating blogs I completely forgot about one I want to nominate. As you know, I nominated Ethan for Best Student Blog and Mrs. Yollis' Classroom Blog for Best Class Blog. Now, I am going to nominate a blog for Best New Blog.

For Best New Blog I would like to nominate my friend Mark's blog, GBM Corner. Mark does amazing reviews! He review's books, games, movies, and blogs. I wrote a whole review on his blog in my post: Review: GBM Corner. The most amazing part is he has only had his blog for 6 days!

Poll Competition: Poll 4 Round 1

In the last poll it was a tie. The tie was between I'm a Black Belt and 1,000 visitors. That was the first tie in this poll competition! I added something new on my blog! At the top of my blog is my pages. I added a new page called Poll Competitions. You can find the winner of the last post there before I say it in a post! These posts are a little more recent. This is going to be a close poll.

Student Blogging Challenge September 2011



The Student Blogging Challenge was very fun. I only met Ethan, but I'm going to try to meet more people this week because I have no school! For the first few weeks I kept on having to remind myself to check every week. By the last 4 weeks, I got used to checking it every day! The Student Blogging Challenge really helped me get more involved in blogging. If you want to be in the Student Blogging Challenge, I think the next one is in March 2012. I would highly recommend being in the Student Blogging Challenge!

Here are the topics of each week of the Student Blogging Challenge:

1. All About You
2. My Place
3. Me on the Internet
4. After Hours
5. Improving Your Posts
6. Global Issues
7. Let Your Creativity Show
8. Are You Connecting
9. Favorites
10. Evaluating and Nominating

Edublog Award Nominations

This week the Student Blogging Challenge asked us to nominate a student and class blog for the Edublog Awards. I knew which class blog to nominate right away, but it took a while to figure out who to nominate for best student blog.

I've decided to nominate Mrs. Yollis' Classroom Blog for best class blog. I chose her blog because she posts about such amazing things. For example, over the summer she posted about her trip to Hawaii. It was very interesting to watch the videos she took!

For best student blog I nominate Ethan (Gamekid). He does amazing posts about his life, the world, and different blogs. Also, he always does magnificent posts about the Student Blogging Challenge. In my opinion, he should be the one to win best student blog.

Who did you nominate?

Poll Competition 2: Poll 3 Round 1

In the first poll the winner was Welcome. The last poll's winner is Disney Wonder. They will both go to the championship! This poll is a special one. It will have 7 posts instead of 6! Two or three will have 7 posts, so I decided to make one of them this one! These are great posts!

Here is the poll:
