The Drive for Five by Patrick Hickey Jr. A big thanks to everyone that blogs the Islanders and makes going to Yes Islanders interesting on a daily basis and also the users that took the minute out of their life to come and vote at Yes! Islanders. ![]() Here is the logo I made for his site, and he'll be getting two tickets to a home game this year. Keep up the good work bloggers and I hope there will be a much better team to blog about in the future.

You get free seats at (most?) Islanders home games. That is a huge value right there. Also, I imagine in a few years our team will be doing well and the blogs that stick around will be doing well in terms of readership and hopefully revenues too. It's a long term plan and its got to be out of the love, but if there is a genuinely good product, revenues will follow. On that note, I'm am curiously awaiting Chris Botta's first sponsor to see who they are. If you didn't realize, his new blog shot to a Google PR 5 very quickly. He should be getting sponsors in no time. Now, the main reason he got there so fast is the juicy link on the NY Islanders homepage. Logan gets high PR from the Newsday site, and Botta gets it form the Islanders site. They both are the main sources of info for the team so it is fitting in a lot of ways. It's just too bad they didn't help out with the blog awards. I have to admit I was disappointed by the lack of support there. Maybe next year though. |
