Spreading the Blather All Over the Blogosphere

Hey there, kiddies. If I may, I'd like to direct your attention over to Al at Shouting Into the Void. Al's come up with a brandy new meme, and I'm proud and thrilled to say that I've been selected as the very first participant!

(No, really, it's very exciting! I'm all hard-on and jazz hands over here. Really.

Um, yeah. Too much sharing? Sorry. I'll work on that.)

Anyway, here's the jist... oh, no, wait, you know what? Screw the jist. I'll give you the entire set of rules, right from the original post. (Jists are for babies.)

If you visit my blog regularly (or think you may from now on) and would like to create a "Guest Entry", send an email with proposed topic to h**atton98@yahoo.com (without the '**', natch)
Once I receive the emails, I will select the Guest Author.
It will be the only post for the day it goes up, so it will stay at the top of the blog for at least 24 hours.
I will create a short introductory paragraph to your guest entry blatantly plugging your wonderful blog.
You then create a blog entry plugging my site by directing people to come on by and read your guest post.
Continue the meme by inviting others to be a guest author for your site by replacing my email with yours and posting these six steps.

Okay, so I'll be honest -- I might cheat just a little, and post something on the same day as your post. You know, just to keep in practice. But mine'll go up before your post, and you'll have 'top billing' for at least 24 hours, just like Al said. So if you want to see your words here, in the seedy naked-lightbulb glow of the dive bar that is my blog, send me a topic. I'll pick the one I like the best on... oh, let's say Thursday evening. So get those thinking caps on, people -- this space is for rent.

In the meantime, toddle on over to Shouting Into the Void, and check out Al's fantastic stuff. And if you're up for it, take a look at my guest post while you're there. As usual, it's ridiculous, personally embarrassing, and extremely, extremely long. You won't even know you've left. *sniff* Beautiful, ain't it?
