The Ministry of Silly Blogs is now fully operational

The Official NaBloPoMo group has been created for the Ministry of Silly Blogs.

What’s with this blog?

What have you done?
I done went and created a new blog. Largely because it’s so damn easy to do so.

Why have you done this?
The Ministry of Silly Blogs was created as a venue for bloggers particpating in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo), which entails committing to posting to a blog every day for the month of November. The official NaBloPoMo site allows users to create and join various groups. There are lots of groups so far. Some based on locality, others based on common blogging goals or personal interests. I felt the lack of a group for bloggers who are prone to silliness.

Who can join?
The official NaBloPoMo group (which doesn’t actually exist yet, but should any minute now) can be joined by anyone who has signed on to NaBloPoMo. In particular, you may want to consider joining if you meet any of the following criteria:

You write posts that, at least on occasion, could be described as silly

You appreciate reading posts, at least on occasion, could be described as silly

You enjoy a good snicker, chuckle, chortle, cackle, giggle, guffaw and/or the occasional belly laugh

You have been known to write things that make someone laugh (even if that someone is yourself)

You have been called goofy, loopy, batty, cracked, boffo, funny and/or (the most coveted) silly.

Even if you’re not participating in NaBloPoMo this year, you can still participate in blogging silliness. If you post a silly post in the month of November, just leave a link to it in the comments to this post.

What will become of me if I join?
At this time, the Ministry is accepting applications for a variety of official Silly positions: Second Assistant Minister of Silliness, Semi-Permanent Under-secretary, Chief Silliness Advisor, Under-secretary to the Third Assistant Minister of Silly Blogginess. If you would like to propose an alternate position title, please do so.

What’s in it for me?
If you write a Post of Silliness, or find a Post of Silliness, you can submit a link to be included in regular Official Ministry of Silly Blog updates. (Pending Official Ministry Staff Approval.)

How do I submit a post?
Leave it in the comments, below. Or in the comments of any current Ministry post.
