25 Basic Styles of Blogging

I spotted this presentation on slideshare and wondered which of Rohit’s catagories we all fit into..?

I presonally think I cross into various categories but have a read and let me know which one best describes you and your blog.

April LBM with Fashion Targets Breast Cancer

The April edition of the London Bloggers meetup is nearly upon us and I am delighted to say that charity Fashion Targets Breast Cancer has asked if they could support our event with some food, drinks, goodies and a fantastic competition.

Haven’t heard of the charity before?

Well as a quick intro, it was setup by Ralph Lauren in 1994 as the fashion industries response to breast cancer. The campaign raises funds for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, the UK’s leading breast cancer charity and to date has raised over nine million quid, nice!

So what’s the competition then? Well, you all have the opportunity of getting your sticky mits on £100 worth of gift vouchers for one of the retailers that supports the charity (possibly TopShop or M&S).

What do you have to do to win this prize….? It’s simple answer the following question on this blog in 100 words or less:

Why should charities use online communications to support their cause?

Simple. Just add your entry as a comment on this blog before the closing deadline of 12 midday on Monday 27th April. The winner will be chosen by the charity and announced at the meetup on the 28th April.

In the meantime, don’t forget to RSVP for a place at the meetup. There will be the usual great crowd of phenomenally interesting people to meet, from brand new bloggers, to seasoned hacks and everyone in between. As always, anyone who blogs, or is interested in blogging is welcome.

Enjoying the Breez-er

That’s right, the London Bloggers Meetup in February is being sponsored by our friends at Bacardi Breezer. Why? I hear you ask. Well, I’ll tell you.

This month Bacardi Breezer launched a refreshing new 100 calories range in fresh and fruity Blueberry, Raspberry and Pomegranate and to celebrate the wise people at Bacardi have decided to treat the London Bloggers Meetup members to some samples, free drinks and a fantastic competition.

One lucky winner will pick up a guilt free shopping spree at House of Fraser with a £150 shopping voucher up for grabs. Go on indulge in some designer shopping for a ‘New Year new you’ wardrobe. The fun doesn’t stop there, Bacardi Breezer has also provided two £75 shopping vouchers for two lucky runners up. Nice!

After hitting the shops, what better way to relax than with the great tasting refreshing blend of tropical flavours, BACARDI Rum and sparkling water, that make up the Bacardi Breezer 100 calories range…saving you calories, and helping you stick to your New Year’s resolutions!

Sounds good right? So how do you get your sticky mitts on these fantastic prizes then? As always it requires a little creativity. All you have to do is answer the following question:

Bacardi Breezer 100 calories has just that, 100 calories. The most fun I’ve ever had burning off 100 calories is…

Your answer can be a text comment posted up on this blog, a drawing scanned in and emailed to me, or a video posted on YouTube, or any combination of these. The three most entertaining posts entered before the deadline of 12 midday on Monday 23rd February and as decided by a panel of expert judges will pick up the prizes. To win the grand prize you must attend the Meetup on the 24th February.

Well, what are you waiting for, come on London Bloggers, get creative! Make us laugh and you’re in with a good chance.
