Here's the current list of the officially accredited bloggers for the Republican National Convention, according to Blogs For Bush.
Do you want to show the RNC Bloggers Blogroll? You can grab the blogroll code here.
In the spirit of democracy I'm giving Wizbang readers a vote in who will go on the interview stalking list. Each week leading up to the convention there will be a different category, such as news babes, celebrities, talking heads, politicians, etc. This weeks vote is for celebrity interview.
| Wizbang! Poll | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The winner of last week's contest was Laurie Dhue.
Reminder
Any money you can spare to sponsor Wizbang's coverage is HUGELY appreciated. As a special incentive, donations of $50 (or more) will get a sponsor link in the Wizbang Sponsors section from the date of their donation through the convention. I'm working on the templates this weekend to fit the sponsor list in.
Everyone who donates will get private access to all the pictures I take during the week, and this BONUS OFFER - Anyone who donates any amount is eligible to a picture of Rob's (SayAnything) girlfriend sans clothing.
Update: Total Raised as of 8/12/04 - $250. That's about 10% of my budget for the trip. Serious thanks to everyone who has pitched in so far!!!

If you want me to design you a button/icon/banner, let me know, I'd be happy to do so -- part of the donation effort.

ABOUT A LOGO/ICON for the RNC Convention Bloggers...
I'd be more than happy to create one for you/them/the bloggers, but need some information here:
THIS logo is the RNC official Convention logo...(see copy here: http://suzyrice.com/logo.gif) but I'd need a better copy of that logo inorder to incorporate it into one for the Bloggers, if anyone can direct me to whoever could provide me with a clearer copy of that logo (send me an email, respond here, whatever is fine).
I read the GOP Convention site and they've got a working title going for the Bloggers:
"Madison Square Bloggers" so I could use that along with the existing GOP Convention logo (above, but with a better copy than what I have) AND/OR just do something with the GOP elephant logo/bug with the "Madison Square Bloggers" title.
Maybe the GOP already has something in the works, but if not, if anyone can advise, I'd be happy to do a logo for the Bloggers -- won't take much time.
SO, any of you GOP Madison Square Bloggers, please let me know -- use email link here if you'd prefer.

Well, bad linkage (^^).
This logo (bottom link here) for the RNC Convention is the one I'd need a clearer copy of if I am to use it in the Blogger Icon/Button...(don't have to use it, but would probably want to try a few designs with it first, is what I had in mind).
This RNC Convention logo version, I copied off the RNC site but I'd need a cleaner file/copy of this logo if it's to be incorporated in an icon for the Madison Square Bloggers...

Ok some of you people are just sick!
Don King is beating Bo Derek?!?!?!
What the hell are you people thinking? First I must say on Kev's behalf that he deserves Bo Derek, I mean.... Who is Mr. Celebrity porn of the blogosphere?
And you expect him to want to interview Don King over Bo Derek?
geeze people!
LOL

O.K., I went ahead and designed some logos fer ya'...
I touched up the RNC Convention logo so won't need an improved file version now...
Here are links to the two VERTICAL variations, so far:
(1.) GREYTYPE Bloggers:
http://suzyrice.com/GOPbloggers/158wde_GOPbloggersGrey.jpg
(2.) WHITETYPE Bloggers:
http://suzyrice.com/GOPbloggers/158wde_GOPbloggersWhte.jpg
BOTH those versions (same designs, different color type for "BLOGGERS") are available at pixel image size WIDTHS starting at:
100 pixels wide
in enlarging increments of +10 all the way through to
250 pixels wide.
So, there are a variety of file sizes available for anyone to chose from.
My suggestion is that the "WHITETYPE" versions work better at the smaller sizes, while the "GREYTYPE" letters work better at 200 wide and up to the maximum size of 250 pixels wide.
But, anyone can use any of them...
IF THESE ARE USABLE, let me know and I can provide the URLs for the various file sizes and/or send whatever file size anyone wants as an e-mail attachment.
Please don't direct-link to my site URLs for the Files, however; if you want to use any file size of these logos, let me know and I'll send you an attachment and/or provide the site URL that you can find yourself and then copy and host on your own site.
I'll work up a HORIZONTAL adaptation of the design if anyone wants....
Again, let me know, e-mail link is provided with this comment.

O.K., I've included examples at various sizes on BIRD (my blog), so go there (link, following) to see the variety or request other file sizes:
http://suzyrice.com/BIRD/2004/08/rnc-bloggers.html
I can develop a horizontal version of the same design, if needed.

Here's a suggestion: Dennis Miller.
And then ask him why you should give a rat's ass what some celebrity thinks when it comes to politics.

Paraphrasing TalkLeft: "OMG! It's Dick Durbin!"
That's not proper coverage, and I hope the RNC will be covered in a much better fashion than the DNC was. I'd suggest that anyone going practices locally first, such as by covering an event with pictures and talking to people, etc.

I'm convinced the accredited blogger lineup will redefine journalism. I'd also suggest interviewing Dennis Miller and asked him how he resists the temptation to strangle some of the leftist loonies he has on his show.

SECOND LOGO VERSIONS to use with RNC blogroll code:
Kevin writes that he likes this version, as do I since this design is far less file size intensive than the first version (earlier link, this thread):
To see new logo/icon design and save and use whatever you want, go here:
(1.) New design (less file size intensive):
http://suzyrice.com/BIRD/2004/08/rnc-blogger-logos-pt-2.html
(2.) Yesterday's design (very weighty file sizes -- O.K. to use if you don't mind):
http://suzyrice.com/BIRD/2004/08/rnc-bloggers.html
If anyone wants other sizes, please e-mail me (see e-mail link on my site, BIRD, left-hand column) or rework the following: mailo AT suzyrice DOT com
and tell me in pixel width size what you want, and I can e-mail it to you as an attachment...OR, by tomorrow I'll have a page together that will display all the file sizes with the CODE for the blogroll and you can select whatever from there.
That is, unless anyone on the blogroll objects, in which case, please let me know.
