Although probably more people know her from Rain City Guide, ARDELL’s Seattle Area Real Estate Blog is the home weblog of my intrepid oppenent in the Sellsius° 101 Blogoff Challenge.
The site runs on the Realtown blogging system, owned by InternetCrusade, which gamely manages to make Blogger.com look good. It’s a travesty that such a large-calibre weblogger is shooting with such a small-calibre weapon.
But Ardell is so good that she couldn’t miss with a pea-shooter. She’s been one of my favorite writers in the real estate blogosphere since I knew there was a real estate blogosphere.
I entered this contest with a hard game plan. If you track my posts, you’ll see they run in regular cycles of five posts each, 20 laps of circuit-training.
I think I’m ahead right now, but I want to cross the finish line with Ardell. To that end, I have two notions.
One is that she do as Dustin suggests and pile up a few dozens one-liners.
And the other is that I will hold off on Blogoff Post #101 until nearly midnight.
I want to finish this race — and I intend to be an Insufferable Bastard on my Victory Lap. But I know already that we’re both winners in this contest, so I have no need to beat anyone.
Godspeed, Ardell. You’ve always been way ahead of me in every way that matters — and it’s all downhill from here…

Greg, I just have to ask: are you one of the folks who’s been short-selling the “Greg” stock? Tempting people to buy it and then pulling the rug out at the last minute, ceding the race to Ardell, and making a killing?

A noble gesture my cyberfriend. You and Ardell were both amazing today. Sometimes I struggle coming up with ONE post. 101 in one day? You guys are both nuts. Nutty as you may be, you’re both damn fine bloggers. A big hat tip to you and Ardell. You won, she won and all your readers won too.

It was a challenge to climb a mountain. Greg, you did it with apparent ease but surely at much mental & physical soreness, more keenly felt tomorrow . Ardell was also amazing. All were quality posts. What else would anyone expect from two high quality bloggers?
