Bloggers challenge - "Next Blog"

Having done this myself on The place that is (go there and comment) I thought I'd introduce it to you lot...

OK, I've tried this before and it may fall flat on it's face again, but I'll try and rope in the help of my fellow bloggers and we'll see how it goes. My aim is for bloggers to interact and basically to get people to actually read/comment on my blog!! And so I set out this challenge, to click the "Next Blog" button above whatever blog you're reading (presumably mine or yours) and keep clicking through the randomly generated blogs that appear when you do so to find ones that match the categories I set out. The categories are:

1. A blog written by a woman
2. A blog with a custom background
3. A blog from a foreign country (U.S. and U.K. don't count even if you don't live there!)

These shouldn't be too hard to find, I think I'll give it till the end of September for people to catch on. Once you've found your three leave a comment ;) on my blog and post up your results on your own. The winner will be the one who finds all three in the least amount of clicks. Before you get to it here are some groundrules that I'm making up!

1. You cannot filter through blogs you know - you have to use the "Next Blog" button
2. No backtracking - you can stop and start as often as you like, but each click counts
3. It has to be three seperate blogs, if one blog has one or more categories it can only count as one (however you don't have to categorise it immediately, you can wait to see what turns up)
4. If you like it then I'd really appreciate you passing it on and pointing people to my blog where it came from.

Happy hunting bloggers

I did it in 7...and here's the one's I've found

Wow!! Thanks for taking up the challenge Sam! The aim of the game was mostly for people to come by and read my blog so I guess it's working!!

Unless I'm confusing you with someone else we met briefly at Cloverly Hall, if not then nice to meet you!!

You may wanna put up the links you found, either as 'proof' or just to pass on your findings, but I won't press you on that.

I will hopefully be coming up with more of these type games, I already came up with a wikipedia based one with Tim's brother Dan and I may try it out sometime soon.

Thanks a lot for playing along - score noted, I'll let you know how you do against me and any others who decide to play
