Default Competition Time - The Search for Blogger No. 6

As discussed here, it has been suggested that another competition should be held to find another blogger. The blogs haven't been as active lately, with ShaunyBoi and wii_man disappearing, FooFan busy with mod jobs and Gaffer and Killarapp probably busy with 'real life' stuff.

Therefore, I officially announce the search for the 6th WiiTalk blogger. Post you blog in this thread. It can be anything related to Nintendo, be it a review, a look back at Nintendo's year in 2007, or even a look ahead at 2008 etc.

The only criteria are that you must have a post count of at least 50 (so we know you will be more likely to be an active blogger if you win) and your blog must be at least 500 words, with 1000 being a good number to head for! Please spell check your blog before posting it, using something like Word.

You may only post one blog in the duration of the competition (please do not edit your original entry) so please don't rush getting your entry in. Make sure you are happy with it, because you only get one chance!

The closing date for entries will be Saturday 1st March (2 weeks, 4 days from now!). I will post a time they should be in by nearer the time. After this date, all other member's will be able to vote for who's blog they like the best. The winner will then be given a 2 week trial, and if deemed to be a successful blogger, will become an official WiiTalk blogger (complete with new custom title and their own blog section!)

NB: Please do not reply to this thread saying that you enjoyed a particular blog, this is only for people to post their blogs. If you feel the need to discuss the blogs so far, or just talk about the competition in general, please post it in here thread.

This post will be edited with the entries so far, with links to the blog. Please make sure you read all of the above carefully.

Now all I can say is, good luck, and let the competition commence!

The entries so far:
M_the_C - M_the_C's Guide to Gamecube on the Wii

ed00wii - My Burning Hatred for Zelda Games...

ed.kilverts - Medal of Honour: Heroes 2 Review

greenman - Wii Remote Add-Ons

biddenden_sue - Nintendo - How they came to be where they are today (Part 1), Nintendo - How they came to be where they are today (Part 2)

red daze - Retro - The way forward??

Hm, I might just have a go at this. Let's face it, I can type for England! (Some of my posts are embarrassingly long!)

I'll see what I can come up with...
