Well, it's March and that means several things: Award Block #1 ends, Award Block #2 will probably begin, there's a new BBC contest, and RPG Contest #9 has begun (which in turn triggers the editing of the RPGC History, hosted by yours truly). On to Award Block business... 1st: After a lot of thinking, I've decided that our #1 spot goes to Exo-armored Matoro 7. He is one of the more active updaters of the four, though his entries have little content in them. The majority of the community also seems to like Endo and his inside-out blog. He won Blog of the Week V, so that's basically a guarantee of awesomeness right there. Diving deeper into the depths of this blog, we will take a look at the Februarian entries. The current bottom of page 3 takes us right to February 1st's only entry. Convenient for me. One of the longer entries of the blog, it talks a little about poetry and gives a link to his entry for the COT contest. An interesting thing is that he's taking suggestions for his blogs name. He brings up googlefight and makes an observation about BZP member names being Greek Letters (Nu is so mine...). Unfortunately, one of his better entries ended up way off-topic. The longest entry is easily this one. He has fun with translators, as do I (...why did I bump my entry when I saw Arpy's? Now I can't legitimately claim credit...except by the date the comments were made). He provides a useful definition guide. He's made two entries about BotW as well. Darkshines0 is here to help you in his own cursive fashion. Also, he loves to change his name. Did anyone know all those people were him? The great thing is, when writing about this member, you'll rarely run out of synonyms. 2nd: With our 2nd-place winner we jump from nearly the beginning of the alphabet to nearly the end. That's right, Valenti's Blog is #2. The reason I picked this is because a good number of entries are long, and updates aren't too spread out. Variety has been introduced much better since my suggestions were made in February. In particular, everyone should read this. 3rd: We arrive at the 3rd place or our four, a member whose name starts with Letter #9 (English). His entries, though not always of length or significance, come often enough to keep someone interested. Of particular note, people ought to read and comment on this little poem of his. He blogs about Bionicle probably more than any of the four chosen blogs. He reviewed Vamprah, got Vamprah and modified Pohatu. More recently, he's reviewed Summer 08 (Apparently he can see two seasons into the future, or he lives in the South. ). He's thinking about starting a podcast, so check that out! He's made a self quiz here. Unfortunately, we may not see updates to the blog in the near future as he is no longer Premier. 4th: Air Force O' Dalek is #4. It's a good blog, but the others managed to gain higher opinions from me. Di is addicted the music videos, and is writing an epic. Other entries of note: MS Paint Club, Pick of the Week, Journal of a Roman Soldier, and a review. Suggestions for what to do for Block #2 start now.

Without ranking them, I'm going to be giving a brief paragraph on what I think of the Award Block Blogs. I will be pointing out my main suggestion for each of them as well. Something I see in at least half these is an entry stating "I can't think of anything to blog about." Sure, updating daily is nice, but who cares about an entry like that (other than the readers of Exo's blog)? They will be listed in reverse alphabetical order, because pounds are evil. Valenti: Entries could be posted a lot more often to make the blog more interesting (just don't look at how far apart my entries are when I say that). Variety in the entries wouldn't be a bad thing, either (again, don't look at my blog). We are eventually able to scroll down to an entry whose first part is about Roman Numerals (and is also in the BZP category). At the very bottom of the first page is an entry about his newly-purchased 360. My favorite entry here would have to be Roman Numerals, as it is the longest entry whose content is not primarily BoA or music related. Jack_Skellington: As well as being updated nearly daily, entries here vary a great deal. In three entries, Jack managed to cover life rules, a pine-wood derby (whatever that is), and Brawl. I'd say his mind hops from one topic to the next faster than Jack Sparrow's (though the next blog moves from happy to sad in less than 7 hours). He resently purchased Vamprah, and provided us with a nice review for the set (though pictureless). He also modified the recent release of Pohatu. The longest entries are about the late President Gordon B. Hinckley, and even those are not especially long. My suggestion here would be a slightly longer entry length for some entries (obviously not all because varying length is also good). Air Force O' Dalek: Another blogger with short entries and a wide topic variety. Like I mentioned, he clocks happy to sad in 06:01:00 (estimated). He recently created Omi repellent and a new MOC. One of the truest entries here is the one about cats. On the subject of other animals, he believes Chinchillas should have rights and that groundhogs are to be cooked. Groundhogs have rights too! Exo, because Pounds are something the rest of the US tries to loose: I'm still unsure what it was he referenced when he mentioned making more "real entries". His entries are short, and have a low content-level. I must admit however that they are to the point, which is a very rounded point usually. He likes pointing out small things and facts. One of his interesting little bits is his awesome entry about Googlefight. He updates often, too.

This is something new to this blog, and as it is still the first of February. This is actually directly inspired by ChocolateFrogs' test driving, as you should be able to tell. Well, I've got a few extra slots open to put favorite blogs if I so desire, but I don't need to. Instead of doing what CF did, I shall do something else, what could be called a contest. Yes, the first contest here. The first four Premier Members to comment here stating their wish to enter and linking to their blog, will be entered in this contest. These four blogs will be favourited by myself for the duration. During the month of February, I will keep up with these blogs, noting my likes and dislikes. By the end of the month, I will choose what I think is the best of the four, and post an entry here announcing it and telling what I liked/didn't like about it. I'll also write brief paragraphs on the other three entrants. I might be able to do something else next month. If I do it will hopefully be open to all members. Perhaps keeping up with their stories/artwork for the month. You can also post such suggestions here. Update: The four blogs are: Dalek Island basic "What's This" (that's what we'll be find out) Winter Heart's Frost

Premier Blog Assistants are no longer an endangered species. Fifty percent of the BAs are Premier now. And as you know, 5 can't be evenly divided by two. So that means we got a new BA. Be sure to check out Valenti and his blog.

From the Blog FAQ. But more recently, my "reading of every entry and comment" hasn't been the best. I wouldn't call my life busy, I just do school until about sixteen, then I've free until dinner at about 18:00. After that, 19:00-22:00 or later is BZP time. But often, in the earlier hours of the day, I'll just get on to check up on a few things. If I don't have enough to time to check on a blog, I'll go on the forums. If it turns out I have more time then expected, I will often forgot to go to the blogs. Or even other times when I do have time I'll be caught up in the forums. Often there are blogs that have no new comments, but one or more new entries. If I open the blog, these entries get marked as unread because they have no comments. If I do not have time to view them all, they often get lost in the "Yay! These blogs have no new content!" blogs, but they do have new content. Or often I'll open an entry and have to go when I've only read half of the comments. These also get unread. Also sometimes there are blogs that, though I may view and read all the comments of all the entries in the first four pages, refuse to be marked as unread. Even if one day I just decide to click the image, marking them as unread automatically, they will return as unread and yet again never leave that state. It gets annoying after the first seven times I thought I'd caught up with it. The solution to the first to problems is a note or word document. But both can get lost or forgotten. Recently while viewing a blog entry whose comments had gotten rather aggressive in their debate, I was going to report it when, upon reaching the last comment, I found out that Toaraga, our blog leader who certainly has lots of other things to do just on this site, had already closed it. Now, it's good that 'Raga spotted it, but I should have caught that entry sooner. It just seems so much like failure to me right now that I can't keep up with the blogs, even though I certainly have the time. I've been thinking of a system, where on my weekends, most of which are three days, I spread out the blogs I moderate through the three days, because viewing only the front page blogs and trying to work my why back to the backmost pages doesn't work. I'm just seeing the same, active, new content-full blogs everyday and not getting to the others. Maybe I can still blame my not being able to see the board for a month a while back? No, I suppose not. Greh. Rant over. Note: I am not discouraging making entries or comments. Though I would encourage putting up the "Latest Comments" and "Latest Entires" content blocks for those that haven't. 'Twould be nice of those showed more than ten of each, particularly for Latest Comments. ;.; And reporting. I encourage reporting.
