Round 8 Update
Written by Tyme White on December 19, 2008
Just a quick update to let you guys know we’ll be making the announcement after New Year’s. I’m more than 1/2 way through the 2nd pass. I must say, it’s a darn good thing I took a second pass because many of you changed your sites around completely (which is a good thing, improvements are a good thing, right?). Thank you for making your sites easier to navigate and find your content. I’m sure your readers love you for that. Anyway, I’m looking at the first week in January tentatively. I need to nail down a date with the guys.
For those of you looking to increase traffic to your blog, I wrote an article about extending your blog on 3by9. End of the year is a good time to fiddle with your site. Start the new year off with a bang. Remember there are many tools available to assist you in achieving your blogging goals. Use them wisely.
Have a wonderful holiday (if you celebrate) and a safe New Year’s. Scrivs wishes that you guys would stop blogging. yes, that’s a joke – no one gets his jokes

I missed the last submission round by 1 day, so I’ve been waiting for this since August. I guess a few more weeks won’t kill me.
I’m kind of compulsive when it comes to changing my site, so I will probably go through several several more design changes before January rolls around.

So we need to wait for new year for the result.

[...] current websites trying to make their way into the 9rules ‘group’, or ‘club’, or highly violent ‘gang members’ soci… will have to wait until 2009 to hear the final result. This was taken from the official 9rules blog [...]

I can’t hold my breath much longer. Getting ready to launch a site redesign in the morning, and the leaf will look great.

Well fingers crossed; and good luck to every one

Is anybody still alive round here?
January 8th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Still here. We all took off for the holidays. If hosting companies can keep things up long enough (mt and DreamHost were having problems this week) I should be able to announce the sites next week.

Took time off for the holiday?? That’s outrageous, next you’ll be wanting to sleep and eat properly. What’s the world coming to I ask you?

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that Feedburner had some hiccups this week in feeding my posts.
As a result, I had to recreate my account. Unfortunately, this also meant that my readers have to subscribe again using the new Feedburner account (found on the site, top right button).
Since I know you use the feed to stay updated about my blog, I thought I’d let you know, so you don’t have the impression that the site is dead.
On the contrary actually, just got refered to by the English newspaper The Guardian in their Blog by Blog section about Istanbul.
Kind regards,
Max

@ Tim lol! yes what is the world coming to!
Looking forward to the results…though next week seems to be backed for me …exam, graduation and b-day and this!

I thought that my chance of getting in was shut down, phew, you guys were just taking a little break! that’s great, at least now I have a slightly higher hope than before (which was none).
January 11th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Guys….I have almost lost the excitement. Please do it fast. I can understand that there are too many applications and you need to do justice to all, but still Faster the Better

Wouldn’t today be a really good day to announce the results?
January 15th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
I’m going out on a limb to make a prediction. Results will be announced on Friday, January 16th!

Don’t you know that a watched pot never boils, Chris?
January 16th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
But the week ends on Saturday!
I’ll be making it over the weekend. It never ceases to amaze me that the ones that are concerned the most are the ones that usually don’t have anything to worry about….
@Tracy – So true and the minute you walk away….
January 16th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Wait I’m concerned the most! does that mean I have nothing to worry about?
January 16th, 2009 at 3:15 pm

January 16th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
