The battle of the writing blogs.
Hosted at: The Writer’s Resource Center.
The Tournament: The blogs will be seeded in four brackets with eight blogs in each bracket. The blogs will be judged in the categories below. The field of thirty-two will be narrowed to sixteen, then eight then four. In the end, two sites will go head to head to determine which site is the writing blog of 2007.
The Categories: Archives, design, usability and navigation, purpose, personality, five most recent posts.
From the Writer’s Resource Center: As the judge I will determine who moves on, but as fans it is perfectly acceptable for you to root for sites and complain bitterly if your favorite doesn’t win. Also remember that the judging will be reevaluated after reach round. If someone fixes a problem between rounds, more power to them.
