There is no specific topic today mostly just some house keeping.
I want to thank jlms qkw for filling in for me last week. And while I'm at it announce that next Friday we are in for a treat, Sarahnity will be posting a Mojo Friday/Frugal Friday combo post. The topic tentatively will be on last minute tax filings etc. We're hoping to give her just a little more exposure than usual.
If you missed it, Ninepatch posted a special edition MF yesterday requesting your further assistance in writing our Armed Forces personnel. Check it out and support her and our troops with a note to let them know you care about them.
Now for a break in the action, a little something I ran across.
Another of our little family has launched a new blog. If you like food and politics check out Asinus Asinum Fricat's new blog PolitiCook.org.
Welcome to PolitiCook.org, a site for progressive souls concerned about all aspects of food, including provenance, cost and environmental issues related to produce, organic or otherwise.
You are most welcome to participate, write diaries, and debate in a civil manner. We make no apologies for being politically to the left and hope you will enjoy and use this site to air your views on food and the politics thereof.
Again before we jump to the goals and guidelines I want to emphasize The Mojo Friday Post Game Show by goffnews. If you haven't gone there before, you need to go just to see where you rank in the amount of mojo you've handed out. Goffnews launches around 4:30 PM EDT.
Mojo Friday Guidelines
1. If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to recieve mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
2. Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
3. You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
4. You don't have to comment to recommend.
5. You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen)
6. Please, no pictures or YouTubes until after 300 comments
7. Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo
Mojo Friday Goals
A. at least 200 different commenters and 1000 comments by 1:30 PM EST and 1500 by 5:00 PM EST Friday Night that it's posted.
B. 100 recommends for each comment, at least.
C. Stay on Recommend List at least five hours (this requires some strategic planning by you guys, refer to guideline #3)
D. At least 200 diary recommends. 300 would be better, spread the word.
E. And always, fun fun fun.
F. Have at least 75% average participation rate as seen here in the Mojo Friday Postgame Show by goffnews.
G. (New) Have at least 30 kossacks over 90% participation (see here for some tips).
H. Overload the servers with recommends, not to mention dominate Top Comments Mojo list. (we do tend to mess with the site with all of our recommends at one time)(also, to dominate the Top Comments Top Mojo we need at least 50 comments with over 100 recommends, see guideline B)
I. That's enough for now. (Have a suggestion? Post it.)
MKinTN posted a diary to help everyone achieve greater success called How to Succeed at Mojo Friday Without Really Trying.
Remember; Support the Troops, Buy Mojo Friday Apparel, proceeds got to support Ninepatch and her endeavors. Some of you have yet to purchase your Tees or mugs etc., what are you waiting for? Sales have slowed a bit, let's go.
A quick note, for those of you looking for mojo late at night you have two options. Top Comments is posted every night by various diarist. But on Monday WI Deadhead has been posting dailup version of MF called Mojo Monday. Just remember MM is a no pics mojo diary.
