The first How To Rush Week is over! Click here to see the new How To Team members!
Almost 40 new How To writers contributed pages this past week. Most of the writing was high-quality, and we rejected very few submissions. Unfortunately, not everyone who applied could make it to the How To Team, but if your name is not one of the ones listed below, don't despair! We will start our next Rush Week in a few days and everyone who is not currently on the team will have another chance to join.
Here are the newest members of the Mahalo How To team. If your name is on this list, congratulations. Please write me at lonharris@mahalo.com with your e-mail addresses so I can add you to our internal How To Team mailing list. Welcome aboard!

First off, I'm really proud and excited at how well everyone did on this assignment. Doing how to articles is NOT easy, and getting on the team is a significant accomplishment.
Second, I'm really excited to see our How To team grow so quickly! Our goal is to write 100,000 how to articles and I think we have 2,500 right now. If the average price of these is M$7 that means there will be M$700k in play over the next year or so.
Third: If you own the how to articles you've made you should see VERY nice income from them over the coming years. If you were to do one article a day and build a base of 350 or so articles you should make MUCH more from the revenue share on them than from the M$7 to create them!
I wonder how many how to articles we're going to be able to build in a day!?!!? I'm hoping at some point we can do 100 or 200!

Congrats everyone!
This one was certainly a breeze - I thought I was doing something wrong! I had no idea I even had a shot at the prize!
I don't know about you guys but I sure felt like I was in high-school waiting for the team cut to go up on the wall!

Wow, thanks a whole bunch and mega congrats to all the winners and new team members!
I'm fab-oo-lously excited to be working on How-To pages, and found them so much more fun than I thought they would be! (Okay hate to admit it, but going into the challenge I thought it might be a chore - I was wrong!)
Thanks so much, really!
This whole rush experience, and my time as a pledge, well I have some fond memories.

Those How-To's were some of the best that I've read. Even the ones that didn't win a prize were really great.
My personal favorite was How To Grow Thyme. I don't know if it was the *best one, but it was my favorite. The clarity of writing and attention to procedural steps was great. If there was a related featured video and maybe some in-line images, it would be very difficult to find a better page about growing Thyme online.
Don't forget to request to manage the pages that you wrote! It doesn't look like those ones were automatically assigned to the people who completed their tasks - so write @lon!

Thanks @Lon and @Camilla and to the QC team for reviewing and accepting all of the new content. I'd like to send a thanks to my reviewer @redgold for her feedback and quick responses to a few questions that I had after my page was accepted.
Congrats to my fellow new How To Team members.
Thanks for selecting my page as one of the winners!
Good luck to everyone in the next Rush Week.
Cheers...

Darn! If I knew people were going to make such great pages, I'd have put that bit more into mine. :)
I think it might be a dead heat between How to Grow Thyme and How to Clean Hardwood Floors for which is the best. I bet either of them are most likely the best single page on the net about their topics.
Anyway, good to be inlcuded in the How-To-Team, and congratulations to everyone that made the team, and double congratulations to the award winners.
Nice to be part of a classy team...

Now... are there any pages I can read on "How to Make a Great How To Page" and "How to Choose a Great How To Topic"? :)

I enjoyed reading all of the submissions, and appreciate the effort everyone put in (even if they were not accepted to the team this time around).
To those who are now on the how to crew, congrats and welcome aboard!

So are those of us who didn't make it, but got how to pages accepted, allowed to enter again, keeping in mind the suggestions we got?
I was so disappointed when I couldn't find my username in the list! :(
Me too... but if at first you don't succeed, try, try again! I know I'm going to!
Congrats to everyone who made it this time! :)
