Hey my friends! It is contest time once again! When I was deciding on my prize for my previous contest I wanted to do something to help one of my readers defray some of the expense of the holidays. I realized, though, that I wouldn’t be able to do much alone.
Sooooo..,. I turned to my fellow bloggers on Plurk. (The BESTEST SOCIAL NETWORK EVAR!) Several of them have pitched in and we are having a contest across all our blogs.
Now, the rules. You can enter once per participating blog per day. Entries are simple… just comment on our post for the day. If you blog and would like to post about our contest, doing so will get you 5 extra entries. There will be 2 winners. Each winner will need to give us a mini bio of your family. (Ages, genders, wants, needs, likes) and we will buy prizes accordingly. Prizes will be wrapped for under the tree and sent post haste! Comments and posts from Sunday November 23 through November 26th will be taken as entries. Black Friday we will announce the winners!!!!
The following Blogs are participating in this prize package!
Confessions of a Middle Aged Surburban Diva
Random Ramblings of a Stay At Home Mom
and
Go. Comment. Blog! Two folks are going to get one HELL of a prize package!

This is so awesome. You pleeps are the very best. With all sincerity, it’s the people I’ve met on plurk who’ve helped me through some very difficult times over the past few months (since I joined in June ‘08)
Laughs and compassion abound on Plurk. Who says the Internet is just for porn!?

I love plurk - Haven’t been on in forever due to being sooooo busy. I need to get back over there! This sounds like a great contest
Plurkers are awesome!

Wow the people on Plurk are the greatest. I can’t believe the friends I’ve made there (and the new directions my career has taken because of them). This is a great contest–too bad I can’t contribute anything to the prizes

What a cool idea! I’ll be adding this to my blog

Whilst I certainly understand the desire to promote traffic and comments to one’s blog, I’m all old fashioned and traditional in some ways. Maybe I’m just delusional, but I want the quality of my writing to be the thing driving traffic and comments to my site. I know, it’s naïve of me to think that, and I recognize that it’s naïve, but it’s me.
Of course, I’m not faulting anyone else for having contests and whatnot; I’m just explaining in my normally loquacious manner why I won’t be following suit.
Oh, and Miss Riss, Trekkie Monster never said the internet was ONLY for porn, merely that that was its primary purpose.

Wow! Talk about misconstrue the reason behind the contest Kevin! This is about helping others. I don’t have a site counter or anything on here so I have no clue how many hits I get normally versus during this contest or whatever.
Whether or not you choose to get word out about the contest is up to you. We just wanted to make the holiday’s a lil better for someone.

Y’all are an example of some really lovely things happening during the holidays this year. How nice!
