Journalists for July!


Hi Chobots! July is here!  It's time to update our Journalists!

If you are unfamiliar with our program, its official name is the Journalist Program. In this program we award bloggers around Chobots who show off their skills in blog creating, posting, template building, and many other skills of blogging!

To start, the badge is in the lower-left hand corner of your playercard. It looks like this...


Thanks for letting me use you :) You have an amazing blog too!
Vchobot1 is a perfect example! His blog is amazingly neat and is always updated. His format and template fit with his header and tabs and has wonderful and helpful tips for things! You can check out his cool blog here: http://www.chohelp.net/
 
By being a Journalist of Chobots, you get some cool features that other Chobots don't have access to.

-For one, you get your own Journalist badge right on your playercard.
-Next, you get a spot on the official Chobots blogroll for the blog you own.
-And lastly, you get a bonus of 5000 bugs a month (which is paid on the 1st of the month).

To become a Journalist of Chobots, you should try to do at least one of the following things, the more the better your chances:

1) Publish original content on your blog.
2) Help out in the Chobots community both in and out of the actual game.
3) Post on the forum to interact with other users.

You may have noticed that #1 is stating how you have to publish original content. If you're wondering what this means, it means that when you make blog posts, you should use your own words, not just copy directly from somewhere else, (like the official blog). You're free to reuse pictures, but try to reword everything into how you would say it!
Aren't those some cool rewards for blogging about Chobots? If you'd like to be a Journalist for Chobots, just comment the url/web address of your blog (not a blog you work on, but your own personal and stylish cool blog!) to this post and we will review it. All blogs of any age can be submitted, but remember, you can only submit once a month, so make it count! We will add more Journalists to the program based on the creativity you put into your blogging skills.

Former Journalists from May and June 2012 will need to resubmit  so we know they are still active in their blogging activity! Our Journalists will vary month to month based on their activity, skills of posting, ability to assist users both on their blogs and in game, and how much fun they can be!

If you have any questions, feel free to email Support and we will be glad to further explain anything on this post or answer any other questions you may have come up with!
