Buddy Foote's Blog v.2 has a unique blog feature that one will not find anywhere else in cyberspace. This feature, called 'Author of the Month', has you, the citizens of the internet, vote for your favorite author here at Buddy Foote's Blog v.2 depending on the posts they have written that month. By having this feature, the authors of BFBv.2 may feel good about themselves if they're elected the title 'Author of the Month' and may brag to fellow peers in the outside world, as their fellow peers stare at them strangely and walk away from them. But what an achievement of winning this little contest be and you, fellow reader, must decide who shall be 'Author of the Month'! Yes, you are playing God and doesn't it feel good choosing the destiny of us! We bow before you, begging to be voted for, and you smirk knowing that you hold the almighty power in your hand to click your mouse at the polls, hit submit, and make your ultimate and final decision. Who shall it be? Buddy Foote, Caitlin, Chase, Jenifer, or Joey? You decide!When an author wins the contest, the following banner is placed under their picture on the left sidebar:
Now what happens once a new author is elected? Does the initial banner disappear, being lost in cyberspace forever, and do we all forget about the amazing achievement that the blog author made? No! Never! And that's why you're reading this post, "Author of the Month Archive". This post is dedicated to keeping the history of the elected AotM's and whenever a new AotM is elected, the old banner shall be placed here. Think of it as a hall of fame.
And now for the list of past Author of the Month's!
If you're not familiar with the system used in the electing of an author to the position of 'Author of the Month', then please read these guidelines:
"Caitlin and Buddy Foote are the only blog authors who wrote entries for June '07. When June 22 comes around, their names are added to the new poll. Chase chooses to post on June 27 and the post contains great quality, thus his name is added to the poll. However, Joey posts on July 2 and cannot be added to the current poll, but will be added to the July 22nd poll. Depending on the votes in the poll, the winner for June is chosen on July 6. The winner has their new shiny Author of the Month banner under their picture in their profile until August 6th, where the July AotM is chosen."
Also, please read this paragraph that was also taken from the older post:
"I ask that you scan the entries for the featured month (you can easily do so by selecting the month in the archives as they will not all be listed on the front page) and then make your choice. Please do not be discriminating in your decision -- do not vote depending on gender, who you're a friend with, etc. and if you're a blog author on the poll, please do not vote for yourself. I ask that you make your decision fairly based on only the blog entries for the featured month. Please no not get confused and look at posts in a month that do not matter to the poll."
Thank you very much for reading, thank you for voting when the poll goes into effect, and thank you for aiding in choosing the next 'Author of the Month'!
Have a good one.
And now for the list of past Author of the Month's!
- Caitlin (June '07) --
If you're not familiar with the system used in the electing of an author to the position of 'Author of the Month', then please read these guidelines:
- 22nd of the month -- A new poll on the right sidebar under 'Blog Features' goes into effect. The authors placed in the poll are the authors that posted that month before the 22nd. Authors who are not in the poll yet post an entry or two after the 22nd and before the first of the following month have a 50% chance of being added to the poll depending on the quality of their post(s). If such an author posts after or on the first, they cannot be added to the current poll but have a 100% of being added to the AotM poll for that following month.
- 6th of the following month -- Based on the votes in the polls, the Author of the Month is chosen and they receive their banner. This banner will remain under their profile picture until the 6th of the following month, where the next AotM is nominated. If the same author wins again, their certificate is replaced with the updated version, and the older certificate is placed in the AotM archives.
