    btw, just to be clear to everyone — jehz is a contributor to this blogsite (and that’s why his blog’s listed in the blogroll), but he isn’t part of the MBS1 organizing team. and that’s why he can join the You Got Blogged! competition. mao lang. padayon ta! :)

    Cge, i will join :) pero sayang yung blog ko di marereview :)

  • Gravatar Blogie said:

    @Are-wee-der-yet — Looking forward to your reviews! :)

  • Gravatar inkblots said:

    @Are-wee-der-yet, oo nga, i just realized, our blogs cannot be reviewed (sigh!).

    “This competition’s entries are reviews of blogs listed in the Directory, but excluding those blogs that are found in the “Mindanao Lovers” category.”

    Dami ko pa namang blogs about Mindanao…and it is like second home to me…hehe.

  • Gravatar inkblots said:

    Sige, magluod ko. Hehe…

  • Gravatar Blogie said:

    Merong lusot dyan eh. If you’re IN a place in Mindanao, or FROM anywhere in Mindanao, you can submit your blog under that sub-category. Like, merong taga-Davao na nasa Manila na ngayon, he submitted his blog to the Directory under “Davao City”. Pwede yon. ;)

  • Gravatar Blogie said:

    we’re rethinking the policy re Mindanao Lovers category, guys… the point is to focus on Mindanao blogs, but we do realize that blogs in the Mindanao Lovers category talk about the island so… i’ll keep you updated! :)

  • Gravatar Blogie said:

    OK guys! Blogs in the “Mindanao Lovers” category may be selected for review. :)

  • Gravatar vicubs said:

    hmmm..just dropping by.. I might learn something.. :-)

  • Gravatar Blogie said:

    @vicubs — You’d learn a lot more if you got your feet wet! Jump in and join the competition!

  • Gravatar vicubs said:

    @Blogie - Well I think I am already IN. My blog (Construction Chemicals is now in the Mindanao Blog Directory) is up for review but it seems that nothing significant happened to it..I don’t see any review(s) yet. :-)

  • Gravatar Blogie said:

    @vicubs — Patience, my young Padawan.

  • Gravatar vicubs said:

    On the other hand, I wanna post some reviews but I still find it complicated. I am reading some of the FAQs to learn some of the basics in blogging. I know it’s just a mater of time. :-)

  • Gravatar vicubs said:

    .matter of time..:-)

  • Gravatar vicubs said:

    What’s Padawan by the way?

  • Gravatar Blogie said:

    @vicubs — Yes, my young Padawan, you can post your own reviews. It’s not very complicated: it’s just like writing your own post. Write a review about a blog found in our directory, and that’s it! Good luck! :)

  • Gravatar inkblots said:

    Blogie, I noticed that the condition:

    “except in the Mindanao Lovers category any category”
    has been deleted, and also saw your reply about this concern.

    Thanks!

  • Gravatar Blogie said:

    @inkblots — yeah dude, baka kasi magtampo ka eh ;)

  • Gravatar inkblots said:

    naks! pinatataba mo ang puso ko. But seriously, thanks! In fact I even took the effort to label some of my posts as “Mindano” so that whoever wants to review me, could easily click the categories under Mindanao.

    Cheers!
