How Joe sees it

Weblog URL: http://www.howjoeseesit.com/
Reason for application:
I blog, therefore I am. Please acknowledge my existence on the World Wide Web so I know I blog for some higher purpose.
Joe sees life through the eyes of a dieting, tattooed tech-junkie whose musical and political leanings colour his blogging output. All in all things seem very satisfactory.
I had a [...]

Daddy Papersurfer

Weblog URL: http://www.daddypapersurfer.com/

Reasons for application:
I received an email from a young lady with buns attached to her ears who demanded that I re-apply after my recent justified ban.
I comply.
I am on the verge and need a push. I believe the WBC are the people for the job.
Yours sincerely folks
D. Papersurfer
For some reason the Colonel will [...]

Fracas

Weblog URL: http://fracas.wordpress.com/
Reason for application:
Due to a recent report of someone being caught with their pants down here, I find I have no choice but apply for approval in order to more closely monitor the situation.
This is all for the good of interweave patrons the world over, of course…
(I may or may not report my [...]

I’ll never forget the day I read a book

Weblog URL: http://residentreader.blogspot.com/
Reason for application:
Please accept my application for approval. I really did read a book once and may do so again some day. In the meantime I am looking at the pictures in some books and watching the movie in other cases and writing short essays about what I have learned on my blog.
I [...]

Clark’s Picks

Weblog URL: http://clarkspicks.com/
Reason for application:
Clark’s Picks will be one year old on December 31st, 2008, ancient by the standards of the world wide tube system. I have endeavored to find and present the most significant moments in recent (since the invention of “talking pictures”) musical history on Clark’s Picks for the edification of children, hip [...]

Life with Canucklehead

Weblog URL: http://www.canucklehead.ca/blog/
Reason for application:
humbly throw my site upon the mercy of this prestigious council. If the truth be known, I have my fragile go all been completed dashed at previous evaluations. A wiser man might wait until the taste of excellence has been washed from your mouths - as I see Lord Likely has [...]

Tiggyblog

Weblog URL: http://www.tiggyblog.com/
Reason for application:
I bought a World Blog Council certificate at a backstreet market in Kuala Lumpur. I’m beginning to suspect it may not be authentic. I’d love to exchange it for a real one.
Having recently been reminded of the pitfalls of picking up eronious goods in the sweltering back streets of a South [...]

TechnoSamrat

Weblog URL: http://www.technosamrat.com/
Reason for application:
I just want to know if my blog is useful for other people. So i’m requesting you to review it.
The first stipulation of WBC application reads as follows ‘Please note that if your application does not raise even the faintest glimmer of a smile from at least one member of our [...]

Stuff and nonsense

Weblog URL: http://joelklebanoff.com/joelsblog2/
Reason for application:
Dear Worldblogcouncil, my blog is a hopefully funny, but funnily not hopeful review of, well, stuff and nonsense. It is of excellent quality, so says my mother. Or, rather, I’m sure she would say that if she had the foggiest of ideas as to how to surf the Web, which she [...]

The last visible dog

Weblog URL: http://delphine-angua.blogspot.com/
Reason for application:
I modestly and abjectly crave your attention. Please honour me with your decision, either in my favour or otherwise, so that I may continue to blog under the above name (see which) or, close down my blog completely, having not reached the required WBC standard. The supremely high literary and visual [...]

Chit chat

Weblog URL: http://www.chitchatqueen.blogspot.com/
Reason for application:
I love blogging and blog about anything and everthing under the sun that one can chit chat about. My blog posts are simple (in terms of language and vocabulary) and hence form a nice read, more often than not. A friend, suggested I submit my blog here for laughs and I [...]

Total trauma

Weblog URL: http://www.totaltrauma.blogspot.com/
Reason for application:
because I”m trying to give it a new meaning to the word ‘trauma’, and I love to keep changing my blogger name
I was several posts into this well presented weblog (anecdotal observation and musing, often presented in rhyme - quite charming really) when my aural orifices were affronted by the raucous [...]

The Astonishing Adventures of Lord Likely

Weblog URL: http://lordlikely.co.uk/
Reason for application:
I wish to hereby submit my application for my fine web-log to be evaluated by your good selves.
Of course, I have absolutely no doubts with regard to the excellence of my journals, but I would quite like to receive a certificate to cover an unfortunate stain upon the ceiling of my [...]

Crofty’s blog

Weblog URL: http://crofty-blog.blogspot.com/
Reason for application:
How could I possibly have been so remiss as to fail to seek approval from such an august body (or was it September, the calendar page must have flipped over) before posting a single post on my humble web log.
I ask that you consider the ramblings of a middle aged (and [...]

Idle thoughts of a wanderer

Weblog URL: http://kouetsujidono.blogspot.com/
Reason for application:
To be honest, I commented on a blog that had just gotten “approved” at around 1 am, then ended up writing until a few minutes ago, which I will say was about 5:40 am, and seeing as how I’m just about delirious, figured I’d apply to see if I’d get “approved” [...]
