Last month, there were a ton of blogs written for June's Monthly Musings, "The start of the affair". Twenty-seven "The start of the affair" blogs were promoted in all to the front page, setting a new record for how many blogs were promoted to the front of Destructoid.
Reverend Anthony has laid down July's Monthly Musing theme and I expect even more blogs to be written for the new theme, "A cast of thousands...of polygons". Here's a protip: Don't wait until the last minute to put up your Monthly Musing blog. At most, I will promote three blogs in a single day -- so if there are, like, 20 promotable blogs that go up on July 31, only three will go up. Got it?
Hit the jump to see all 27 Community Blogs that were promoted for June's Monthly Musing.
Many of these people are veterns of the front page. Ashley Davis, Count Grishnack, Cowzilla3, Conrad Zimmerman, and a few others have made it to the front page before for their always excellent write-ups.
Most of the people here had their front page cherries popped, though, and it's always great seeing fresh faces grace the front. If you wrote something last month and wondered why you weren't promoted, give these "The Start of the Affair" blogs a read-through and look at what they got right. Try to pick up on what they did and apply it to your stuff.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

So far, the tally for me is three. I'm hoping it'll be four soon enough.
If I were legal, the tally for me would be three as well.
