New Additions 12-29-06 (the end…)
Written by Tyme White on December 29, 2006
This is it. After the holiday I will put up a final list. Congrats to everyone!
There is a large list of sites where I need to contact the owner with questions. This will not happen until after the holiday. Instead of rejecting those sites, we decided to dig a bit deeper and ask some questions. There are a couple hundred on this list and again, I will be contacting them individually and will be announced later if accepted.
If you emailed me about the status of your site, I will begin going through those after I contacted everyone on the questions list since many of those who emailed me are on that list. 
If you site was down/had hosting problems, email me. When a site is down we can’t review it.
Thank you for being patient with us while we went through the list. Thank you for supporting 9rules.

Congratulations everybody! Happy New Year!

Somehow I knew I’d be in the very last lot (if I got in at all!).
Anyway, awesome. Thanks Tyme et al
December 29th, 2006 at 7:05 pm
Cool. I’ll still be waiting to hear the status of my site.
December 29th, 2006 at 7:06 pm
Well, unless I am on the question list it does not look like I made it this time around. Which kinda hurts because I thought I had some quality content going.
Oh well, there is always next time
December 29th, 2006 at 7:08 pm
This has to be the greatest Christmas present ever.
Thank you, Tyme, and congratulations to everyone!
P.S. What’s the total number of accepted sites so far?
December 29th, 2006 at 7:22 pm
Same here. I thought I had a pretty good shot at getting in. If I don’t after these lingering sites, I think I’ll send Tyme an email just to get her opinion on my site and any suggestions for improvement. I’m not really concerned with why it was ‘not good enough’ but rather, how I can make my site better.
Happy holidays.
December 29th, 2006 at 7:23 pm
Oh yeah…it’s great to see Modern Life is Rubbish made it! I absolutely love that site.
December 29th, 2006 at 7:31 pm
Great, thanks for bringing me into the 9rules fold!
December 29th, 2006 at 8:13 pm
@Koby and @Mark,
Ditto. Thought I had a good chance too, since my blog is pretty unique content on it’s own with a different sort of message. But maybe were on the questionables list.
December 29th, 2006 at 8:30 pm
Wow, Thank you guys, I got it, even though it is in the last batch.
December 29th, 2006 at 8:32 pm
Thanks Guys! I know its not final, but I feel pretty happy getting this far. Look forward to your questions!
Cheers and Happy New Year,
Daniel (Emergence-Media)
December 29th, 2006 at 8:39 pm
Haha, Daniel, just to be clear, you do realize you were accepted right?
December 29th, 2006 at 9:19 pm
Mark, I suggest it. We went through a lot of sites in a short period of time. If a site was down, we moved on (the blogger might not have realized it was because it was down for a short time).
I wrote an entry here with some reflections on the round and one big piece of advice.

I am so glad to see that jarkolicious made it into the network!
I like what I saw on Travel Adventures, Real Epicurean, and Inadvertent Gardener. I am enjoying all of the new additions, and how diverse, appealing, and creative each one is.
Congratulations to everyone!!
Happy 2007 to Tyme, and to all of the staff! You are all amazing!
December 29th, 2006 at 10:00 pm
Wow, I am pretty thrilled to see my name listed. Very cool end of year present!
Congrats to all the other new additions to the network. This round has seen some really great content make it in!
December 29th, 2006 at 10:20 pm
I somehow felt that you guys were reviewing my blog when I saw a lot of pageviews. Feel glad to have a chance to be part of something I read for inspirations. Thanks!

[...] So I had participated in their 5th round. Today morning I had a wide smile on my face when I saw that this blog had been accepted. I believe there are some formalities before it can become part of the network. I will update this blog when it happens. [...]
December 30th, 2006 at 12:11 am
how can i import all of these on my feed reader
December 30th, 2006 at 12:51 am
Wow! I’m honored to be in such good company and very excited to join 9 Rules. Thank you for including me : )
December 30th, 2006 at 12:55 am
Wow, crazy nail biter being in the last group. But, as Tyme said, they went through the list backwards… and I know I got the site in in the first hour or so on the submission day.
Thanks 9rules!

[...] “You made it in to 9rules,†she blurted out, long before I had a chance to even hit the 9rules feed in my reader, all while I was juggling the two dishes that were at work on the stove. Trying not to burn the hash or screw up the scrambled eggs, we finished a quick conversation that just had me pleasantly surprised. Apparently jarkolicious has been accepted in to 9rules, as part of their final post of the year. [...]
December 30th, 2006 at 3:31 am
Congratulations to everyone who got accepted! Welcome to the club.
December 30th, 2006 at 6:24 am
Firstly I’m honoured to be included. Thanks very much
I’ve been having a browse around visiting my new neighbours and the morning has just disappeared as I’ve been sucked in reading all sorts of diverse things.
December 30th, 2006 at 6:34 am
[...] It was a nice surprise to find out that I’ve been accepted in to the 9rules Network as part of their Round 5 of intakes. There are 123 other new sites in this round so far. [...]
December 30th, 2006 at 11:02 am
First, congratulations to everyone who was accepted! I am very honoured, surprised, and ecstatic that I have been accepted. Thank you so much.
December 30th, 2006 at 12:24 pm
I’m happy to be included too!
Very suprised to see 9rules in the list of “incoming links” from my WP dashboard!
December 30th, 2006 at 1:10 pm
Thanks to the Rulers - Tyme, Scrivs, Mike - for their care and consideration in this massive undertaking. I’m very glad that my blog has been included.
To my new 9Rules neighbors, I hope I’ll do honor to the community and be able to bring something to the table …
December 30th, 2006 at 1:12 pm
Wow, I’d all but counted myself out only to catch my name first on todays list.
Great way to finish out the year!
December 30th, 2006 at 2:33 pm
[...] So with that said, I was happy to see my name on the last list of 9Rules entries for the year! Hopefully I can bring a little more exposure to Coldfusion and Flex to the rest of the programming world without getting too deep into the Coldfusion world where things stop making since to outsiders. It’s also very humbling to be a very small group of programming blogs on 9Rules which I held in such high regard. Tags: 9Rules, Coldfusion [...]
December 30th, 2006 at 9:17 pm
Some people haven’t been included yet. Don’t forget those! What about an honorable mention?
December 30th, 2006 at 10:29 pm
Awww christ, I didn’t get in…

Congrats to all the new 9rules members!

[...] I was minding my own business, actually I was working on a new web app, when Brian messaged me saying “congrats!” I was a bit surprised and didn’t know what in heck he was talking about. It clicked eventually and I flew over to the 9rules blog and w00t! my name was in there. How awesome is that?!? So, thank you Brian for telling me! [...]

[...] I haven’t got the formal email yet, but it seems that bbgm made it in the current round of submissions of the 9 rules blog network. Ever since I found out that Guy Kawasaki was a 9 rules member, I’ve been interested in the network and getting to hobnob, virtually, with other bloggers. 9 rules is very strong in a number of areas, but science was not one of them, so its good to see other science blogs in this latest round.

Congrats all!
In particular, yay for bloglily!
January 3rd, 2007 at 3:41 am
[...] One of my best friends, Jess, is a blogger. He just got into 9rules, so congrats asshole! He’s the reason I’m blogging. He doesn’t like being the only person he knows in real life to have a blog. [...]
January 3rd, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Hi Tyme,
we’re delighted to have been accepted, so much so that I’ve just blogged about it and why we wanted to join in the first place.
We’re looking forward to contributing some great content to the network.

Have you sent out the emails with questions yet? If we haven’t received anything yet, can we assume that we didn’t get in this round? Or are you still digging a little deeper into some sites? Thanks for your thoughtfulness and attention to each blog.
January 29th, 2007 at 10:41 am
