Somewhere before the end of this day, this blog will host its 100,000th visitor. In celebration, I’m giving away a $50 gift certificate to a chain restaurant of your choice (Applebee’s, Chili’s, Red Lobster, etc. – anywhere that’s convenient for me to buy a gift certificate!). If you prefer, the gift card can come from a major national retailer, such as Best Buy or Amazon.
I won’t be able to pinpoint exactly who the 100,000th visitor is, so here’s what I’ll do instead. If you leave a comment on this blog post (critical comments are ok; off-color comments aren’t), and subscribe to the blog by email (use the “Subscribe by Email” tool near the top of the right hand column), I’ll put you in a drawing for the gift card. I’ll make a spread sheet and use a random number generator to select the winner.
The “Subscribe by Email” feature gives me a more accurate understanding of who’s subscribing, and it will let me verify that you subscribed. You’ll be able to unsubscribe at any time, if you wish, but I hope you won’t.
And yes, if you’re already subscribed by email, you are eligible. Just leave a comment if you want to be part of the drawing.
So remember, to be eligible:
- Leave a comment on this blog post.
- Subscribe to this blog by email if you haven’t already done so.
To be eligible, enter by 11:59 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012.
Thanks for dropping by, and thanks for reading!
