The Odysseus Awards are up at Bloodhound.

Not surprisingly, three of the "A-listers", the "Big Dogs", the "Big Kahunas" of the real estate blogiverse were tapped as winners. If I had a tenth the talent of these people, I'd be one happy camper.

Odysseus Medal: Dan Melson for Should Lenders Be Permitted to Sell Real Estate?

Black Pearl Award: Kris Berg with Dogs Playing Poker – What do you do with great property photos?.

The People's Choice: Dustin Luther with Rules for Rain City Guide Contributors. (Which are great rules for contributing to any blog)

Picking winners from the short list can not be an easy task….

You can contribute your own material, or nominate anyone else's here.

Jay, I thought Dustin made an interesting comment about the rules of blogging while not personally being a big fan of rules.

He said “contributors ‘break’ the unwritten rules because they almost always get immediate (and rarely pleasant) feedback from the community.

Here are the only two “rules” that come to mind:

If you are going to attack something… attack ideas, not people. (i.e. ‘your idea sucks’… not ‘you suck’)
Avoid obvious self-promotion.”

There are those we both know who might benefit from Dustin’s wisdom in understanding what makes the great blog that RCG is.

By the way, Greg has a heckuva competition going on.

Howard – those two “rules” (plus a third — link liberally to others) really sum it all up. I might also add “Be honest, and admit mistakes”.

Apply that, and the rest takes care of itself.

It’s indeed a heckuva competition. Congrats on making the short list!

Jay – you’re right about how much talent some bloggers have. They can do in their sleep what I have to think really hard about. It is amazing how difficult writing can be for some or us.
