The Great Blog Off is winding down here on the east coast! It has been such a blast! I have enjoyed the chance to interact more with my readers and spend the day talking tax.
I have a lot of folks to thank for helping pull this event together. Here are just a few:
- The management team at b5media. Specifically, I want to thank CJ, Jeremy, Shai, Darren and Tris for being so supportive. I tend to have wacky ideas like this – and b5media is definitely one of those environments that encourages this thinking out of the box.
- Rachel, the PR maven, at b5media for helping me get things together.
- Arieanna Schweber, CE at the Entertainment Channel, for really rising to the challenge and chasing this idea. She even created contests for The Great Blog Off over at her channel.
- My fellow CEs who helped me promote the event.
- My twitter friends for helping out with publicity and guest posts.
- Joe Coakley and Mariel Cabral at Accion for getting the infrastructure together for the site and providing me with lots of info about Accion. If you haven’t already trekked over to Accion to make a donation, I’d encourage you to do so. They’ll keep the b5media donation page up for another day or so – after that time, you can always go to the home page.
- Finally, my fabulous group of bloggers… As you may know, I’m the Channel Editor for the Business Channel. The bloggers at my channel are just wonderful, wonderful folks. They work so hard, they care about this company and what happens to each other, and they are so knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects. To do this Blog Off, they volunteered hours and hours (and hours) of their own time. I am so proud of each of them that took the time to participate – even if they could only manage a link to their fellow bloggers. Thanks guys. Muah! You are terrific!
