The blogging metaphor contest is over, and though I lost, I figure it a public service, albeit a small one, to show who won. Here are the 10 winners from Liz Strauss’s contest:

These ten contributors, selected randomly by a man, who paid so little attention that he doesn’t know what this contest is about, will receive an autographed copy of Lorelle’s book “Blogging Tips — What Bloggers Won’t Tell You About Blogging.”

• 10 reasons why blogging is like dating”
  at Romance Tracker

  at BrainBasedBusiness
• Blogging Metaphor: Why blogging is like a Mommy
  at Moments of Clarity
• What’s Your Blogging Metaphor? Teaching by Bits (and Bytes)

I figure they deserve an extra link, as well as the nice book they get from Lorelle (Whom, I might add, has the privledge of recieving the first PayPal payment I ever made.) And maybe we’ll all sit down and play a game of insane metaphors.

And apparently, my friends can’t read GTD, because David Allen uses so many metaphors in the book that it confuses them. So yeah, perfect example of using too many metaphors might just be the most sacred of texts to the blogger.

Congrats! And I’ll try my hand at the next contest!
