Writing blogs that meet the following criteria can participate:
- You MUST re-post WOOF posts properly
- The site has to publish RSS
- There has to be original content in the post (i.e. it can’t just be a link to something else or someone else’s work)

How do I join the WOOF?
To participate in WOOF, you need to submit a link to your favorite post for the previous 2 weeks. Send us your permalink, the URL to the specific post you’re submitting, not a link to your main page. We won’t go through your blog to look for posts.
The submission deadline is NOON EST each Friday. If you’re late, you’re submission will be included the next week.
You can submit for the next week’s WOOF as soon as submissions for the current one closes on Friday.
On Friday, you will get an email with links to posts you can “vote” on.
On Monday when the WOOF is posted, repost the top links or all the links on your blog.
You are required to post everything above the line: “WOOF participants should re-post all the links above by next Monday.”
Check back over the week for any last-minute updates.
Only WOOF participants can vote. On Friday all WOOF participants will be emailed a draft of the links for the upcoming WOOF post. Look over the draft and send us back your choices for the top three spots by Monday 8am.
What happens if I don’t post the links by the end of next Monday?
If you don’t post the agreed upon links by the following Monday, your link gets taken down and other participants are requested to update the WOOF post to take down the misbehaving poster.
If you can’t get the links up in time, email us and we’ll accept a late posting. If you don’t post you can’t play again.
You can link WOOF to your blogroll but you still must repost WOOF in a post. It must end up on your primary RSS feed.
