CONGRATS!!!

I’ve decided that I’m so excited about starting the Problogger challenge with SITS girls that I have decided to run a contest. I want to give one lucky winner a chance at winning the eBook, Build a Better Blog in 31 Days.

If you want to learn more about the challenge you need to read my previous post! This is a great opportunity to work on your blog and have a great group backing you up.

If buying the eBook is holding you back then I want to try to help you out. Uniquehorn Designs (aka me! LOL) will offer to buy one eBook for one lucky winner. The contest will be now till Midnight Saturday.

Make sure and comment for each entry, so it gets counted when I use random.org! The winner will be announced Sunday. I will email the winner and they will have 24 hours to contact me to receive their book.

And the irony is that the winner of the Twitter Background or Photocard Invitation is #1. I know it’s an odd of 1 in 13 that it would be 1 but I always think if I’m the first I will never be chosen. So everyone go and say hi to Marilyn at The Artful Hawaii Girl and Amaryllis of Hawaii.

Didn’t win? Well I’m still running a contest for 1 month free advertising! And you know what I will give away one more twitter background. If you would like a twitter background comment on this post! This contest will be open till 4/16/2009 11:59pm.

I have decided to donate a free wordpress blog to a lucky winner at the party. Here are the details:

A Unique WordPress Theme

I spend time with you finding out your style and what you like. I will design a logo or header for your blog and then design a complete custom wordpress design for you. This will include any supporting images you may need for the design too (ie. backgrounds, buttons, icons, etc). (A $350+ value)

Installation

Free Year of Hosting*

You provide the domain and I will provide the hosting. You will recieve 1 year of free hosting this includes 100mb of space and 1gb/month of bandwidth transfer. (A $20 value)

Extras

• A blog button to match your theme.
• 1 hour free maintenance on your blog if hosting with me (This is for upgrades, plugin upgrades, plug in installation, etc)

*If you need more space or bandwidth you can just pay an upgrade charge for the next plan up. At the end of the year you can either transfer your blog, close your blog or you can continue hosting starting at $20/year.

**You can also choose to have you WordPress blog installed on your own host. Or if you already have a WordPress blog I will just do the custom design for you if you choose.
