• Internet Island Topic Post #21: End of the Year 2006

  

  Internet Island Topic Post #21.00: “End of the Year 2006″

  Before the end of 2006, Here is Internet Island Topic Post #21. The Island is now populated by 130 blogs. Yet only 42 people subscribe to this site. I’ll attempt to get around and notify members of the ring who are not subscribed that there are at least monthly topic posts over here. If you know any Islanders who have not subscribed, please let them know about our existence.

  
  I’ve chosen SIX different topics. The last one is for everybody. I’d REALLY like to see interaction among the topic entry writers at least, like on all the other participatory blogrings. If you want to see this blogring last, and perhaps get more active, then it is up to you, as a member, to respond to all the topic entries with visits and comments.

  As you list your entries in the comments to this post, I will “list” them here, so they are easy to find.

  The Topic Post will last approximately two weeks to a month. Please enter the link or date of your Internet Island Topic Entry for this post in a comment here. If you are creating a link, make sure you link to the page with the “comments” box and not the page with five entries. (HERE IS A TUTORIAL ABOUT HOW TO MAKE LINKS.) The purpose of Internet Island Topic Posts is to help get the members of the Internet Island Blogring to exchange comments and get to know each other. Please check back periodically for new entries throughout the posting period.  If you post a topic entry, please make an attempt to visit the other Islanders who do so as well. It is also a good idea to post the link to the Topic Entry in your own entry so that other interested parties can come here. You can copy/paste the Topic Post links right here in this entry into your own weblog entry box.

  
  21.01: Year End Wrap Up:
  The last week in December is when most periodicals and newspapers give a year end wrap up, showing the high, and sometimes low, points of the past year. Write your personal Year End Wrap Up, using photos and captions, or just words, to present the past year.

  21.02: The Dead Pool:
  Without seeming to be morbid, celebrity and famous deaths always seem to come in threes. On Christmas, soul singer James Brown passed away, followed rather quickly by ex President Gerald Ford. Who’s next? Fidel Castro?

  21.03: What’s the Weather Like:
  Everybody is always talking about the weather. What are the most extreme conditions you’ve “weathered”? It can be a storm from when you were a child. Perhaps you got through a major earthquake or hurricane. On the flip side, if you’d rather, blog about the most perfect weather on the most perfect day you’ve ever spent.

  21.04: This Year is Going to Be Different:
  Last year I posted a topic about New Year’s Resolutions, after reading blogs about resolutions every year, and most of the responses were that people don’t make resolutions anymore. Perhaps you do and perhaps you don’t. Write about what is going to make 2007 different. For you and for the world

  21.05: Five Year Plan:
  I’ve seen this blogging exercise many times in the past, and thought it might make an interesting topic here. Write about what you were doing five years ago. Ten Years Ago. Fifteen Years Ago. Go back as long as you want, depending upon your memory, age, and how long you want your article to be.

  21.06: Visit A New Islander and Respond to Other Topic Entries:
  Make an attempt to strike up an internet friendship with one Internet Islander whom you don’t know (yet). It seems that when I post these topics, I get participants, but I wonder if many of the people who write topic entries, come back and read the other entries.I just took a random sample from Topic #20 and only four Islanders responded to the entry. If 15-20 people participate by writing an entry, then each of the entries should have 15-20 comments from at least those people. What’s the use of having a participatory blogring if nobody particpates?
