Don’t be discouraged by the turnout, the contest was still a good idea. Just be sure to do a little more promotion next time. Good Luck!

Thanks Bloggrrl. There’s lots of things I still need to learn about hosting successful contests, but I’ll be sure to learn from the mistakes made here

[...] thing is not something new and is not just from this week, but Jason reminded us that he has a promotion running till the end of the year in an effort to increase his comment count. It’s simple to enter and the prize is worthwhile [...]

It’s all good. But now that you mention the RSS thing, I’m surprised by the number of people that are right now spending hundreds on custom redesigns of their site. I’ll need to put some more thought into how to phrase the question, but it’s a little food for thought.

How much of a site redesign is for regular visitors, and how much of it is to hold on to new visitors?

Hmm …

Hey, sorry I haven’t been commenting on your site more. I’ve been reading everything through the feed reader and not commenting as much as usual.

I can’t wait to read your novel! Make sure to send me a copy.

It’s about the Great American Dream and beautiful Californian people. About a simpler time, when nuclear energy was a good thing, and every home had a flag. It’s about apple pie ….

Have you rolled your eyes, yet? Hehehe

It’s about identity and mortality, but wrapped in a story of discovery. How long is too long? Do we lose ourself in time? Stuff like that. But it’s not a techno-babble book. I don’t want to give too much away, so I’ll stay vague with it.

That said, I did write a little more about it back in November
