Invading Earth’s Blogs

When I logged onto my com­puter last night to do a last-minute blog post before hit­ting the pil­low, I was sur­prised, but in a good way, at the title of the first post in the Word­Press dashboard.

I had a sneak­ing sus­pi­cion that it could be, might not be, but most likely was, a post about me. Inter­est turned to sus­pi­cion, sus­pi­cion to tem­pered excite­ment, and tem­pered excite­ment to ela­tion as I dis­cov­ered that I had unin­ten­tion­ally invaded all the blogs on the Inter­net pow­ered by the Word­Press engine.

I finally did it every­one. I invaded the Word­Press blogs of mil­lions of peo­ple every­where in the form of the lat­est news post by Word­Press guru Mark Gosh from the Weblog Tools Col­lec­tion. In the dash­boards of every­one every­where are lit­tle news posts titled “Uber Unique Prize for Plu­gin Com­pe­ti­tion”. Click here to read the post.

The annual Word­Press Plu­gin Com­pe­ti­tion has started with a prize pool of over $3,500 USD for the win­ners. There’s already some great plu­g­ins devel­oped for the com­pe­ti­tion includ­ing per­sonal favorite of mine SEO Smart Links by Vladimir Prelo­vac.

If you are a plu­gin devel­oper, get in there and enter the com­pe­ti­tion! Maybe I’ll even write a song for you. As for me… what next? World dom­i­na­tion of course whahey!
