Despite the fact I have already made a brief sideblog post on this, I believe it is necessary to write a full article. 9rules is a blog network I am a member of.
9rules doesn’t pay its members, but it provides publicity as well as the right to display a 9rules’ member badge. The network has some of the best designers, like Bryan Veloso, and best bloggers around (such as me :P).
Anyhow, 9rules only accept submissions at certain points of the year. The last one, where I submitted my site, was in way back in May. That submission round received 700 applications, and this one will no doubt receive more (my bet’s 829).
The submission round starts at 0000 Eastern on the 25th October (0500 London; 0400 GMT) (which is right now, I’ve set this to automatically post) and lasts for exactly 24 hrs. I’m fairly sure the 9rules administrators will take days, if not weeks, to select new members so be patient 
. Read the 9rules blog for more details.
Good luck to anyone who submits their site, I hope Sarah and Azhar do.

Hey thanks for your best wishes. There’s a big controversy about me. They said they accepted me 2 weeks ago and sent me a mail but I never got it (I wouldnt miss it). So I told them off for having a bias (techies judging photogtraphy) lol, well I kinda ruined my chances. Anyways I submitted.
I sooooo wanted to. I had it on my google calendar and everything. But that ended up being when my vacation was scheduled. I did find free internet access at the VIP bar at the resort, but it was dial-up and as soon as we had a chance to use the computer, it wasn’t working anymore. Downstairs, in the lobby there was the $12/hour access, but I never had time, or to be fair, I was to busy with pina coladas and swimming in the ocean and reading and touring the country. Maybe there will be another round one day.
