			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img width="197" height="46" border="0" align="left" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/clubhouse.png" alt="clubhouse.png" /><a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">Microsoft</a> has come up with a new initiative named &ldquo;<a target="_blank" href="http://clubhouse.microsoft.com">Clubhouse</a>&rdquo;  to 1) <strong>Encourage <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/windows/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Windows">Windows</a> favorable content</strong> and 2) <strong>Promote <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/windows/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Windows">Windows</a> related  quality content</strong> on their own properties.</p>
<p>  If your article is selected to be showcased on <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">Microsoft</a>  properties you can expect to see it on <a href="http://www.windowslive.com/explore" target="_blank">Explore Windows Live</a> or <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/discover/default.aspx" target="_blank">Discover  Windows Vista</a>, <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">Microsoft</a> Newsletters and Twitter via <a href="http://twitter.com/MSWindows" target="_blank">@MSWindows</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/windowslive" target="_blank">@windowslive</a>. </p>
<p>  That&rsquo;s good recognition isn&rsquo;t it? rest assured it does not  come easy! </p>
<p>  To be eligible to showcase your content on MS sites your  blog should meet certain quality standards and have content which discusses or  helps users use <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/windows/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Windows">Windows</a> or <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/windows/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Windows">Windows</a> Live in a better way.</p>
<p>  <span id="more-3222"></span>To start with, become a member of Clubhouse and submit your  site for a review (<a href="http://clubhouse.microsoft.com/Join" target="_blank">Click here to  Apply</a>). Once your blog is reviewed and approved you can start writing  <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/windows/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Windows">Windows</a> or <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/windows/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Windows">Windows</a> Live content embedded with special tags.</p>
<p>  These tags help Clubhouse identify the content as  <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/windows/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Windows">Windows</a>-related content which is then submitted to Clubhouse members to be  reviewed and rated and ultimately the top rated content is submitted and  showcased on <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">Microsoft</a> Sites.</p>
<p><img width="93" height="85" border="0" align="right" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/flags.png" alt="flags.png" />Bloggers earn points  as they write content which is submitted to the Clubhouse. Depending upon the ratings  a writeup secures, the blogger earns points which, these points are then  converted to badges which are visible next to your article when published.</p>
<p align="center"><img width="308" height="230" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ratings.png" alt="Ratings" /></p>
