You are correct. I will email Blip and see if they would promote NaVloPoMo. I dont know if anyone has actually emailed Blip about this? Your advice is well taken.
Personally I dont see W&S as a show. It's not...hmm..."glossy". It's not produced. It's not trying to mimic television. I guess it could be classified as a show but no way would I ever call it Internet TV. I look at the work that you guys are doing coming more from the Independent or alternative side of doing things. With all the so-called shows being created, W&S is a breath of fresh air. You arent trying to make a series. I suppose it's all in how one perceives the work that is created. Maybe my perception of what you guys do is wrong? I dont know?
