Blogosaur Post!

Hey gang! We’re happy to introduce a brand new program for all of you awesome bloggers on the island. It’s called the Blogosaurs! We want to reward all of the effort you’ve put into your blogs and raise the bar for those that want to follow in your path. The Blogosaur badge is for dinos that have proven their hard work with a well maintained Webosaurs blog!

Perks of being a Blogosaur:

* Have your blog featured on the blogroll

* Awesome Blogosaur badge for your player profile

* Gain access to a special testing site where you will be able to try out new features and give us feedback before they come out!

Requirements for becoming a Blogosaur:

**Blog Owners**

1) Have had your blog active for at least 1 month

2) Continue to post at least once a week

3) Link to www.webosaurs.com somewhere on the main page (a widget counts)

**Blog Authors**

1) Have been posting on another player’s blog for at least 1 month

2) Continue to post at least twice a week

Blogroll

From now on, all blogs featured on the blogroll will be Blogosaur blogs. We are so lucky to have as many awesome bloggers as we do, and we want to make sure that those putting in the most work get recognition for their efforts. We’ll start making this change a week from now to give everyone enough time to submit their application.

Testing Site

This is not active yet, but we will let you know once it is fully set up and ready to go. Blogosaurs will be able to come into the testing site and try out new features before we release them to the rest of the Island. You’re input and feedback will help us to make the new updates into exactly what you need. Although screenshots will not be allowed from the testing site, you will be free to write about the things you are testing out.

New Blogs

Did you end up making a new blog? Have you worked on another blog but now you write for a new one instead? As long as you can prove you’ve met the requirements we will still hook you up with a Blogosaur badge.

Sound good? You’ll need to apply to become a Blogosaur. Post your Webosaurs username and the URL to your blog as a comment on this post. Please indicate whether you are a blog owner or an author. Any extra proof that you meet these requirements will help us award the badge to you sooner. In order to keep your badge you must stay consistent with these requirements (although we do understand if you have to take some occasional time off, of course. That’s what extra authors are for!).

Please understand that it will take a few days to go over all of the applications and check to make sure that you meet the requirements. We’ll start giving out badges as soon as possible.
