January Journalists

Hi Chobots!

After spending a good few hours looking through every blog that was submitted, we decided on the new Journalists for January. Of course, it was a very difficult decision to make -- there were so many blogs with absolutely amazing designs, but not enough content! It was clear that our Chobots put a lot of effort into their blogs and as a team we are very proud, so we would like to congratulate all of you for having wonderful blogs.

Without further ado, here are the first Journalists of the year:
Peace - Along with being able to write quality posts, Peace has a very informative and useful 'Fun' page on her blog filled with interviews, tutorials, videos, etc.
Nightmare - Nightmare covers a lot of topics in his posts that relate directly to the Chobots community. He could focus more on adding pages and widgets to his blog.
David09 - David09 runs a German blog which covers all the latest news of Chobots. It can be very informative for the German users. He could add a section for new players to his blog.
Markl77 - Mark runs a blog with his sister full of funny posts about all sorts of things. He also has useful guides for those who might need it.
Maxie123 - With a very fun and playful blog, Maxie keeps everyone informed and entertained. She has also done interviews and written stories which are well worth the read.
Bluezorogirl13 - Also having stories and interviews on her blog, BlueZoroGirl often writes new posts about what she has experienced on Chobots and what her day was like.
Thomas - Running a whole website takes a lot of commitment, and Thomas has taken up that challenge with The Chobots Galaxy, where he maintains an informative blog.
Funnyguy2 - Funnyguy is quite the Journalist; we've seen him posting on several blogs as well as his own. He keeps his blog fresh with the latest updates and events in Chobots.

Congratulations! Journalists, have done a fantastic job with your blogs and we are very pleased. This is not the end of the road for you in terms of being a Journalist, however. It's still required that you update your blog frequently according to the Journalism criteria mentioned in this post. The moderators will visit your blog often to see your new posts and what changes you've made.

For the rest of those that didn't quite make it, don't sweat! There were so many others that we wanted to include but we were not able to because they were lacking only a few things. We realized that you have not had a lot of time to prepare your blogs for the new Journalist program, which is why we are going to look for more Journalists in two weeks. During these two weeks, you can think of new ideas, fine-tune your blog, and get inspiration from the current Journalists! Don't even think about giving up yet - those who work the hardest will be rewarded the most.

Also, moderators will also be commenting on Journalist posts, and we suggest you do the same. If we see that you are being really active in terms of commenting on blogs and reading other posts, we will reward you.

Well done everyone!
Jake

P.S. Please welcome the new agent Novokid. The agents unanimously voted for him in the agent meeting yesterday. Good job Novo! By the way, we'll have an agents poll really soon so everyone will be able to nominate someone they think deserves the badge.
