It's the May Day BlogOlympic Training Camp!!


Happy May Day one and all....!!



The 6th BlogOlympic Training Camp is now CLOSED!

This training session is very simple :-)

Want to massage your ego??

And earn yourself pretty little medal buttons like these?

Go to this link and enter your name (as it appears on your blog) and your blog's name.

For example; I would enter craziequeen and craziequeen.blogspot.com (no need for the http) and then click on 'find your space'. egoSurf calculates ego-points based on google searches.

A quick note: ensure your URL is accurate, no "http://" and no backslashes at the end.

WAIT UNTIL THE BLUE BAR IS FULL, THEN USE THE TOTAL EGOPOINTS AWARDED.

Just put the number of ego-points your blog gains in the comments section.

So my comment would read

'craziequeen + craziequeen.blogspot.com = 8316'.

Gold for the top ten percent, Bronze for the bottom ten percent, and Silver for all those in the middle! Medal results will be announced on Tuesday night.

Go on, have a go - massage that ego!

Some have asked where the fun comes into it....it's the 'taking part', it's meeting new bloggers (the Olympic blogroll is somewhat different to my regular readership, it's judging your blog alongside so many others, it's reading Lazy Daisy's wonderful commentary, it all in the game.

And if it all gets too much - here is the Cool-Out Corner....... :-)

Only ten minutes remaining of the training camp........and the results so far are all tabulated! :-)

omg... this was so totally the coolest thing ever! I've never seen it before either...

killired + killired.blogspot.com = 9726

WOO HOO!

yes, my ego is bigger, thank you very much!

Jane said...

This was very interesting. Here are my results:

cozy reader + cozyreader.blogspot.com = 640

Unknown said...

Trying to Catch Up + bmiers.blogspot.com = 470 ego points

I have a pretty good sized ego. My head is no where as big as Killired's though.

Anonymous said...

This was fun, except for the part where it called me a "deadbeat" for only having a number of 765. Interesting, though. These training camps come up with the most interesting finds!

Heather said...

heatherstuff + rantingsofhether.blogspot.com = 1693 ego points. This was fun. Thank you!

Unknown said...

Thanks craziequeen! My ego feels better already!

Jennifer said...

i ran mine thru several times... the first time i ran it thru, i had the / at the end of the .com because i forgot to erase it. when i deleted it and sent it thru as killired and killired.blogspot.com i got the 9k number!

rashbre said...

I just found the "top egos" button on the site too! Here's the current top 50. (Ahem) - I can't help noticing that I'm in the list. ;-}

screenshot from egosurf!

Good luck to all doing this. Its strangely addictive...

Fizzy said...

Fizzy's Place +fizzysnuthouse.blogspot.com =3595

How am I doing?
Have I trained enough?


Do I score extra points for trying to type oyawmf as a word verification?

Jennifer said...

i noticed the more you run it thru, the lower your numbers get.. i also clicked on the more options link and you can have it search other engines... which brings your score down too! so use your first one!!!!!

Fizzy said...

oooooooo I am not cheating honest but in January I changed my blog name from Fizzy's Nuthouse to Fizzy's Place.
If I enter Fizzy's Nuthouse +fizzysnuthouse.blogspot.com = 9047

Shall I leave that one for the judges?

(without even mentioning the nwlyhfzb wv)

Jen said...

Now as I'm looking at other folks' answers, I'm not sure which way I was supposed to do it, as Jen or as Jen's Horde? It's your call, Craziequeen :-)

Miss Cellania said...

Miss Cellania egopoints=
google 8231
yahoo 8724
delicious 20,028 Were we supposed to add all these together to get a total? A couple of weeks ago I was the #1 biggest ego
on Egosurf.

Unknown said...

Minerva - I used womanlyparts and womanlyparts.blogspot.com and your score jumped way up to 9313!

-tnchick- said...

tnchick + tnchick.com = 7195

Assuming we just use Google and not adding the others (Yahoo, MSN)

Unknown said...

Dena - When I used morphemepalette and morphemepalette.net you were up to 3341

Unknown said...

craziequeen said just the google number, not the others.

Unknown said...

Me again - I want to change my score to 5670 for bmiers and bmiers.blogspot.com
--------
You should always have your url closely match the name of your blog. It will rank higher in search engines and people will remember it better.

nancy said...

blog pourri + blog-pourri.blogspot.com = 3528

Anonymous said...

eph2810 + lite.eph2810.com = 7,396

Jake Silver said...

Well, I got a big fat "0". Hahahaha. Thanks for that, CrazieQueen. On the other hand... this is my first visit to your Blog. I may have a look around here.

Anonymous said...

Using Empty Cerebrations + www.emptycerebrations.com = 2404 (medium, apparently)

However, since many people haven't updated their links to my new site, I checked my old site, which links directly to my new site and did empty cerebrations + emptycerebrations.blogspot.com = 4481.

So total that would be 6885. But which ever number you choose to use is fine. :)

*lynne* said...

Not too sure which "name" to use, so I tried the "blog title", my blogger screen name and my "other" name:

Life After Work + azlynne1972.blogspot.com = big fat zero, LMAO!

azlynne1972 + azlynne1972.blogspot.com = 10017

lynne + azlynne1972.blogspot.com = big fat zero, LMAO!

so, yeah.. let's use azlynne1972, shall we? *grin!*

cheers!

OldLady Of The Hills said...

Well, just for the "fun" of it, I went to egopoints and did as you suggested and you know what I got???

HA! A BIG FAT '0'..Zero---Bupkus! Nada, Nothing. No Points.

So, tell me this, my dear..Where is the fun in that?
So, I went to visit Our Dear One....JD! The Darling Beautiful Mr. Depp! Now THAT, WAS Fun and A Half! (LOL)
Hope you all had a fabulous time..!

OldLady Of The Hills said...

Well... (*red faced and embarassed*)...I didn't do it right that first time. Oh Dear..I am deeply ashamed. But, I'm not sure I did it right the second time either, because on time two, this is the number that came up for Egopoints: 9252. Is that actually possible CQ? I put in OldOldLady Of The Hills and sitteninthehills64.blogspot.com.
I'm hiding my head in shame now. Flog me, please!

OldLady Of The Hills said...

LOL, LOL, LOL..I went back and did it for thec3rd time and this time it came out 9586...!

What does it all mean, I wonder....Hmmmmmm.

I'm going to stop now...this is all the fun I can take in one night!...(I think I'll go take another look-see at You Know Who...My Johnny...well, I know he is not mine, but, I can dream, can't I?)

oops wrong sorry its 7176*

Scouser + www.absolutelyaverage.com = 1950

Minerva said...

Barbara - have I said that I love you?! I was quite crestfallen!

Bobkat said...

Hmmm, no ego points for me but then I have just started my blog. Luckily my real ego is healthy!

chichimama said...

chichimama + chichimama.blogspot.com=6511

I love this site ;-)!

Anonymous said...

Ok I tried again using Absolutely Average Scouser + www.absolutelyaverage.com and my ego was greatly massaged.

Google = 7073
Yahoo = 4624
MSN = 2902

Total (I am allowed to add these together as I'm cheating) = 14599.

Jennifer said...

of course scouser would cheat... do you expect anything less?

and barb is right... using the same name for everything should help! since i am killired everywhere and because it is unique, i dont have any other way to search!

oh and the more you search, the lower your number goes... my history shows 11 searches! Scouser did you search me so my # would go down?

Unknown said...

Daisy - Did you see that? Scouser is cheating, again!

no_average_girl said...

ok, as i have no clue how this works i went back to do it again (just for fun) and it came back with a higher numer of 9013...so, what's the deal? sorry guys, i'm definitely a newbie when it comes to egos! lol

Jennifer said...

this one is confusing because it changes the more you do it and there are different ways to do it. as long as we do it the way she described and report the higher number, WITHOUT CHEATING (mr scouser) but I'm not mentioning any names or anything... we shoudl be fine!

MaR said...

have no idea what I am doing, I got 1330 whatever... can't blame jet lag because I flew within the same time zone, lol, but I made it on time ;D

Lazy Daisy said...

Wow, CQ....I counted 42 people that played! Woo Hoo, you rock girlfriend! btw....no offense taken to my comparison to you and the queen I hope!

Juggling Mother said...

oooh, oooooh, i got 10,445. Is that good? I don't know, but it's more than you *grin*. ego inflated enormously:-)

Whaddo I do now?

Melli said...

Goodness! Well, I did better on this than I expected to do! My ego points=1100!

MaR said...

Next try:

craziequeen said...

I want to play! However, my internet is slow at the moment and the
comments page is taking so long to load! Possibly due to the volume of
comments plus profile pics. So just incase camp is over before I get a
chance to comment:
kristarella + www.kristarella.com/blog = 5643 ego points

Cheers!
Kris.
