Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

August 26, 2013 By Brian 37 Comments

This week’s assignment from the League: Hello, my name is…

Cool & Collected is recovering from a minor meltdown that occurred last week, and I figured it was as good a time as any to redesign the site to accommodate all those new-fangled gadgets and tablets. (Responsive website design is mind-boggling!) That being said, we’re going on a two-week hiatus while I get things squared away. Now, that doesn’t mean you have a two weeks off, it just means you will have two weeks to tackle the new League challenge. Kevin at Team Hellions came up with this idea and I think it is long overdue…

Hello, my name is… Tell us a little about yourself — even if we all know who you are, there are plenty of new folks wondering if you’re in fact a dog.

—

REMEMBER!: The League is always open to new members! Got a blog? Write a post in response to the weekly challenge, and you’ll be included. It’s that easy!

Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)

    Always a good excuse to change some things up. Glad to see it wasn’t a complete catastrophe!
