Quite a many Insider MVPs only participate on Microsoft and third party forums, having no personal blog or site. You should submit it!
@Wynona , Kari is right. You don't have to have your own site going to be qualified. As a matter of fact, this forum is my only bread and butter for getting the MVP status award. Nothing else. And I am too busy to be here most of the time.

I value your opinion, but WHY should I do it? What do I gain from it and how will my contribution affect Windows and other MS software development compared to being a non-MVP?

Last day off before I go back to work. I'm going to walkup to the fish and chip shop, sit on the patio, have a couple of Guinness and some fish and chips.
As of today I celebrate my 10th year clean and sober! Or that translates into 3,653 days/24 hours. It's such a great feeling that I've made it this far.. Without AA this couldn't have occurred.
And the great support I get from Erin is a huge...
