1) A minimum of one new incoming link to the AlanBarber.Org weblog must be made and maintained each week. Thus this first week only 1 is required, 2 the next week, 3 the next, and 4 on the last week.
2) Visible activity must be present in the weblog's comments or trackbacks during that week. Simple acknowledgements of people reading the posts will suffice.
