Is the Fussy NaBloBoMo list up to date or is it just the list of those who wanted to participate? And the Randomizer... is that currently being updated? Well, I was thinking about helping out.

I have gotten more entertainment out of the reviews and the randomizer in the last month than I have gotten out of TV in the last year. NaBloPoMo RULES! (thank God its almost over). Way to REVIEW!

There were 78 participants and 29 of them had missed a day or more, so that leaves 49 still posting everyday. Of the 29, I didn't track who quit posting all together. I don't think it was many. Even tho there was one person who didn't even bother to post once the whole month. Also, I should note, that was as of Nov 17 /18th. I don't know if anyone else is out. I'm reviewing the t's now. (I'm crazy, I know.) 2. I don't know if the sites are using a NaBloPoMo category. I myself didn't think of using that tag until at least a week in and plus sometimes I real bad a tagging stuff. Mostly I just clicked on the November archive link and flipped through all the posts looking specifically at the dates. Unless they had a posting calendar - those rock. This was by far the most challenging of all the items I looked at. I really feel for M. Kennedy, I don't know how she is going to separate the "dids" from the "did nots". So now a question for you: Are you doing a similar review or are you just a curious one? If you are doing something similar I will give you one hint. I went to the NaBloPoMo list and viewed the source code. I then copied all the participants names and site addresses into Excel and created a spreadsheet to work off of. It made it pretty easy to determine where I left off and who was doing what. I hope I've answered all your questions. If not, just ask. Jeez, this was long enough, it could have been a post for today. Hey reddirtroad,

A few questions... 1. Do you know how many R's are still participating? 2. Are there many sites participating that are using a NaBloPoMo category/tag or did you just hunt around in archives or did you go back and read every single post for the month? Hey, thanks for the mention. A few questions…
