Self-Blogging for Purple Belts

Over the last two months, I've been busy blogging on the happenings at this year's World Series of Poker, but now you too can join the (ahem) esteemed list of Black Belt Poker bloggers by becoming a blogger yourself.

In an offer exclusive to anyone who has ever attained Purple Belt status or higher, Black Belt Poker are giving members direct access to the blogging system so that they can upload their own blog onto the Black Belt Poker site.

If you have reached Purple Belt status or higher, then all you need to do is contact me at snoopy@blackbeltpoker.com and let me know that you wish to publish a blog on Black Belt Poker. Blogging is easy: armed with the url, simply log in to the self-blogging admin system and publish your blog using the step-by-step process provided. You can then post future blog entries whenever you please.

If your blog is of high content and receives good traffic and ratings, then we will link to your blog via the official BlackBeltNews Twitter source, as well as publish the occasional entry as an article in our 'articles' section.

As with any user-based content, there are of course some rules, all of which should be obvious and self-explanatory:

- Swearing is acceptable, but in moderation, and not directed towards individuals. Excessive swearing and use of particularly frowned upon words will not be accepted. Common sense is required.

- Don't publish derogatory comments towards Black Belt Poker, iPoker, or the members of the community.

- Don't post anything that can be deemed racist or discriminative based on religious background.

- You may post images, but nothing explicit or distasteful.

- Don't use the blog to advertise and avoid linking to other cardrooms, or sites that advertise other cardrooms. The occasional constructive link is allowed, but heavy spam will be immediately removed.

- As with all accounts on Black Belt Poker, you are personally responsible for the protection of your own log-in details.

- Severe misuse of the self-blogging system may result in removal of blogging privelages, or, in certain cases, the closing of accounts which would also means that the individual would be unable to spend any Belt Points earned.

That's the business side out of the way, all that's left for you to do is drop me an email and start blogging. And if you haven't yet attained Purple Belt, but would like to blog, then be sure to check out our rewards page to see how you can scale the ranks, and what benefits lie at each rung of the laddder.
