What The Terms and Conditions Says about Blogging for Official Designer Challengers

rscasny

Here's what the Design Challenge T&Cs says about where to blog:

 

"Post to the Competition Site blogs on the progress of their Project (Blogs) not less frequently than once per week during the Competition Period. One or two weekly omissions are permissible as long as the total number of Blogs is at least 10."

 

The competition site is element14, not your personal blog (e.g., blogspot)

  • Same applies to Road Tests.

     

    I'm wondering though, why the clarification here and not in the T&Cs? Won't this post get lost over time?

    I believe I posted it because I was alerted to the fact that 2 or maybe 3 design challengers had not done any blogs.

     

     

    If you are an official challenger, we require you to write blogs. Why? A lot of reasons. (What follows isn't necessarily for you Fredrick, but I'm writing to the community as a whole.)

     

    1. Like any kind of project, progress reports are the norm.

    2. What you write about may help other challengers or the community as a whole.

    3. When you write about a problem you are having, others in the community may offer assistance.

    4. Remember this is a community. The sharing of tech info, solutions, etc not only helps solve problems but also build relationships.

     

    from a business perspective

    1. the blogs are content and content drives our community's growth by driving new members and increasing participation. They also have SEO value

    2. WE have a team that looks at the blogs. Good ones get social media support

    3. Our suppliers look at them and may use the blogs in their own promotions
