Counting down (or up) - guess the 10,000th edublogs.org blog creation time and get a free domain and hosting :)
It’s a big week at the edublogs.org mansion as we’re currently at 9,854 edublogs…
Here’s a mini technorati competition, heh, if you can predict the closest time and date - GMT +11 - that the 10,000th edublogs.org blog is created then I’ll buy you a free domain, and chuck in some hosting too… all you have to do is to post to your blog the time you guess at, link to this post, and I’ll furnish you with the domain of your choice and hosting for a year.
And if you don’t already have a blog then… get an edublog :D

[...] It seems lots of teacher are getting the idea of a blog to help them with their work especially on edublogs. So much so that they are almost up to 10,000 blogs there. They are having a competition and my guess is that the 10,000th blog will be created on Friday 19th May at 4.32pm (GMT +11). [...]

Great idea James and a wonderful opportunity for me to further promote blogging in South Australia - initially using WordPress.com then when we can (the sooner the better) edublogs.org.
I’ve added my guess (my birthday - added reason to be the winner of such a generous prize) at https://alupton.wordpress.com/2006/05/03/fight-the-filters-edublogs-wikispaces/ Cheers, Al

Okay, it really would be funny if it happened right around that time. I’m teaching a class on it, and there should be ten to fifteen new bloggers creating accounts right around that time.
Thanks for the great site, James, and for all your hard work.
Cheers!

ok, not trying to be picky here people, but the man said….
“all you have to do is to post to your blog the time you guess at, link to this post, and I’ll furnish you with the domain of your choice and hosting for a year.
And if you don’t already have a blog then… get an edublog :D”
Meaning you have to post your answers on your blog!!!

May 18th, 2006 at 3:15 pm
James, the 10,00th blog will hopefully be created May 23rd GMT 8. Personally, I think the winner should come from the edublogs.org ranks (hint, hint).
May 18th, 2006 at 5:14 pm
[...] It does pay to read the not-so-fine print when reading. James is holding a competition to predict when the 10,000th blog on edublogs.org will be created. But after I posted my guess at his blog, I read the other 33 comments and someone with better reading skills than me pointed that: …..all you have to do is to post to your blog the time you guess at, link to this post, and I’ll furnish you with the domain of your choice and hosting for a year… [...]

But now I want to know why my pingback hasn’t showed up yet, unless it is stuck in the moderation queue (be careful what you ask for James).
May 19th, 2006 at 9:06 am
pingbacks are odd things, sometimes they work… sometimes they don’t… feel free to manually pingback :)
May 20th, 2006 at 8:20 pm
How about May 20 at 9:02 AM?

[...] From this article I knew that there service started in August last year. From the competition descripton I saw how many blogs they had on that day (9,854 on May 16). So then I used this tool to calculate how many days between those dates (288 assuming it started on 1st August 2005). [...]
May 26th, 2006 at 1:13 am
[...] I trawled through James’ blog to find any mention of the number of edublogs and eventually found one on April 20th that said there were over 8,000 blogs now created. The competition post said there were 9,854 (and I rounded up 8,000 to 8,054 - just to make it easier!), so… [...]
