I Took the ProBlogger 7 Link Challenge
A couple days ago, Darren Rowse over at ProBlogger offered up this 7 Link Challenge. The object is to link to 7 posts that fit into these 7 themes. Here are mine:
1. Your First Post — Dead Rooster Takes Flight. This is it — the one that started it all! It was my very first blog post on this site. I never thought anyone ever read it until almost 2-years after I wrote it when someone finally left the first comment.
2. A Post You Enjoyed Writing the Most — Dead Rooster Survives Bug Attack on Universal Mummy Coaster. This post, according to my readers, is BY FAR the funniest thing I ever wrote on this blog. There are no less than four comments by people that confess to peeing their pants while reading it. It’s interesting how the posts I enjoy writing the most are the one’s that are the most successful (except the one I listed below at #6).
3. A Post That Had a Great Discussion — Dead Rooster’s Sure Fire Method for Seducing Women. Some of the comments by my readers were priceless! And, I’m sure they had a great time making fun of me too! LOL
4. A Post on Someone Else’s Blog That You Wish You’d Written — I May Be Unemployed, But I’ve Got Big Plans. I could have chose almost anything from Margaret’s blog Nanny Goats In Panties because I think she is one of the most entertaining writers out there. But, I chose this story because I laughed my ass off when I read it a couple of years ago and I never forgot it. Hilarious stuff!
5. A Post With a Title That You Are Proud Of — Hot Blonde Reveals Cruel Method to Increase Blog Traffic. Come on, admit it! This was a stroke of genius! OK, maybe not, but I was pretty proud of myself after I came up with this title. And, it wasn’t long after I wrote this that my blog was featured on CNN… coincidence? Another interesting fact: I came up with the title and then wrote a post to fit it.
6. A Post That You Wish More People Had Read — Dead Rooster: Confessions of a Dot Com Trillionaire. For some reason, this post just never got going. I thought it was one of the funniest things I’d ever wrote, but as usual, when I think something I wrote is funny, I’m the only one that thinks so.
7. Your Most Visited Post Ever — How to Get in the Mood to Write. This is my most visited blog post. I wrote it 2-years ago and still get a substantial amount of visitors to it week-in and week-out.
I hope you enjoyed this clip-show style blog post. Let me know if you take the challenge with your blog.
Dead Rooster is the online home of 
Dead Rooster, my main man! How kind of you to remember that post and link back – so sweet! Thanks, DR!
Also, congratulations on surmounting the 7 link challenge. Well done.

It’s my pleasure. It wasn’t too difficult of a choice, you’re easily one of the best humor bloggers out there.
Thanks for the stumble!

Good to see you. I can’t wait to read #2. And the Nanny Goats in Panties post. Her work is consistently hilarious.

Post titles can often make-or-break the popularity of a post. This one drew a lot of new visitors from around the web.

I must say this is quite interesting challenge. I might try myself at my own blog, though I fear I might not be able to answer some of the questions above. You did a wonderful job by being able to keep track all the information. Not so sure I’m able to do the same. Nice posting really. Thank you for sharing.

It is always fun with those blogposts thats go across several websites with ongoing issues – I consider doing it on my own blog.

How precisely put! I know that you´re speaking about bloggers, but you also in an exact way expressed the thoughts of a copywriter – not least numbers 2 and 6.

Fantastic, I should be inspired by your stick to it attitude and the amount of effort you exude and exhibit in your Blog, but seriously I have the attention span of a gnat and plain just don’t feel like it.
So I will hang around here some and let you entertain us, instead of sitting around making myself laugh.
Great Blog and thanks for the funny content and as a side note, your flowbee makeover was my favorite.

enjoyed reading your blog…came across this while trying to run up my ‘follower numbers’ over in blogged.com (motto: ‘hey anyone can have followers, and no! we do not feel that punctuation is overly necessary*$)
good stuff here…

the ‘author picture’? lol “photo” of one of our Friends (at the Doctrine)…and no, you are right, that is not the photo of a real person, just the icon that blooged.com (motto: “hey we hope to raise the quality of discourse to a near-yahoo readship level!”) has latched onto and I can’t get them to let go…

Yes. I’m really also in to 4 and five.
Interesting post!

I’m definitely for no. 5. I happen to love headlines that involves blondes. It might have something to do with the fact that I’m married to a blonde?
Reply to this comment
Ill definitely support the ones who like the Hot Blonde and her Cruel Method s;)
