Way to go, Brandi! That's a good thing.
Keepin' fingers & toes crossed for all the folks in prep...

Here's a hint, if you're not doing this already. Type your content in a word processing program like MS word, and then run a spell check on it. After you've done that, copy'n'paste it into your templates and add formatting.
The other plus about this method is that if your browser shuts down, you haven't lost all your work...
says she who experienced just that.
When I hit send on the "dropping out" e-mail I knew I didn't *really* want this gig, or I would have pushed onward at all costs, 20 hour days, whatever it took.
No word today... and all of this conversation about working all night is making me nervous! I am normally up til midnight, but I can't work much later than that and be able to deal with my kids the next day. Even on a full night sleep they try my patience right now! =} Oh, well. I guess I did all that I can do. Just wish I had heard today.
Has anyone actually heard anything after a month? I know they say it can take 8 weeks, but has anyone actually started prep after waiting a month to hear if they got in?
I definitely wouldn't worry too much about how other people are working. Do what you can do, create high quality content, and try to avoid killing yourself with the stress! We all work on different schedules. I didn't stay up all night writing during prep (though I might have stayed up all night worrying!)
I also still do a lot of work on my site - much more than 10-15 hours per week, I think. But my site requires a lot of updating (sweepstakes are always being added, and they're always expiring) as well as writing new content. So everyone's work and pace really is different, don't spend too much time looking over your shoulder!
Midwife- what is this ADAM thing?
Tangent: Are there some guides that two subjects?
Well, it's too late now, anyway. I'm just waiting for the verdict! By the way, I love your site. While I was working on mine, I checked yours to see if there were any good computer contests for me to mention in the blog, but I it had just ended.
I can see how your site would be a lot more ongoing work! I hope you're still enjoying it...
Just a quick update. I finished Prep! And I finished stronger than I thought I would. So, once again I am pleased with my efforts and I know I did everything I could.
