Congratulations to the Round Four 9rulers

June 3, 2006 · 10 comments

After two weeks or so of deliberation, Scrivs and team at 9rules HQ have selected 111 people to join the 9rules Network, out of the 700 that applied. Round Four was the round determined to really expand the network and they’ve done just that. There are some really great blogs that have now joined the 9rules network (they still have to accept the agreement though). I can’t wait until the communities page has updated with all the new sites and categories. I would like to point out that my roommate Chris Morrell is now a 9rules member. He must be bouncing off the wall right now. Also a big shout out to new 9rulers Ben Gray and his Open Switch as well as Ronald Heft, Jr. and his CaveMonkey50.

Thanks, Paul! My wife is getting so sick of my saying over and over again, “I can’t believe I’m a 9ruler!” Great times ahead for sure!

“Hey Guess What?”
“I don’t know…”
“I got in 9rules!”
this conversation happened once every 15 minutes between my girlfriend and I on the drive up to her house. I am so glad I got it, feels great. Now time to find out what my membership in 9rules gets me. Do we get cool decoder rings?

Hah,

Here’s how it went in my neck of the woods:

Me – “Hey babe, guess what?”
Her – “What?”
Me – “I got into the 9rules network today!”
Her – “That’s great babe, what’s 9rules? Hey, can you go and pick up some diet coke?

Looks like I got some training to do. :)

I’m glad to say I am in the 700 club, I feel like Steve Martins character in The Jerk when he finds his name in the phone book…

“The new phone book’s here! The new phone book’s here! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity I need! My name in print! That really makes somebody! Things are going to start happening to me now.”

Thanks Paul. Just wanted to acknowledge that your series on customizing K2 was valuable (it’s in my Credits) in getting me from WordPress novice to a 9ruler (in waiting) in 7 weeks.

Yaarg. I didn’t make it. Lots of data was unwillingly deleted out of my Wordpress database and I lost all my nice, good content. When’s the next round?
