Surely There Are More Oprah Bogglers Out There? - The Puzzling Absence of Some Prominent Opera Personalities
I mean, of course not everyone's as much of an attention whore as I am (but then who is). I suppose I can think of a number of prominent voices that aren't showing up on this little free-for-all, but on second thought, a lot of them are Opera Staff, and I wonder if those guys are holding out because they don't want to be the ones to "accidentally" win prizes meant for the peons. Which would make sense, except Haavard's bog is entered.
I mean without even trying there are a bunch of people you'd have expected to just submit their feeds if nothing else, saito, Jor, as well as a bunch of Opera staff other than Haavard, like Rijk and Junyor (who I always suspect of being from the UK and hence having a very colloquial representation of "Junior"). And these are people who have posted since this whole thing started. Also, since Tim Luoma's new version of 30 Days... for Opera 8 is being presented in MT, I don't see a reason it couldn't be here - unless the glamour of the main MyOpera page has gone to his head :P.
I mean, if this (Opera Blogs) isn't meant to be a one-stop-shop, where else would be?
But really, I'd like to think I've not crossed a line by posting as much as I have - all my posts have been substantive in some way or other - sure I brought out a couple of my Greatest Hits, but I'd assumed it'd be good to have a lot of discussion. So far no one's told me to step off, and really, how long do you think it'll be before I run out of steam?

After you do win the prize, make sure you continue spreading the word on Opera but this time solely to make people aware of "Oprah"

Hmm.. Good points. So I just submitted my Journal for Opera Blogs. I surely don't want to win a phone, and with my posting frequency I'm not worried it will ever come to that :)
But I hope more outsiders will register their blog as well!
