Ok so the moment we have all been waiting for is here. It is time for the ultimate link love recovery contest.
Why:
Simple. I moved my site from CECWorship recently and noticed that because it was on wordpress.com it came with a share of problems trying to move RSS over. Most of my readers were not using the feedburner feed and I could not transfer them over so I went from 125 readers to 10. Not much community like that. Then on top of all that my technorati rating went down to 0 (yes I am a stat ho and proud of it). So I want to get the community back to where it was quick because I have some great stuff I will be writing about soon.
Rules:
This will be an # entry based contest all plugged into random.org. so that means You get your name in hat once or twice depending on what you do. This is a bloggers contest.
There are 3 tiers if you will.
- 1 entry if: you change your link on your blogroll, already have changed it, or add my to your blogroll (of course I will add you to mine if it isn’t already.
- 2 entries if: you do the above plus subscribe to my new feed
- Big daddy!: If you do all the above and also do a small (or long) post announcing my sites move and that you like me (ha ha) you automatically get put into a different contest for grand prize only.
So once you have done any of these or already have before contest started post in the comments on this post what tier: 1, 2, big daddy you have accomplished and a link to your site. MAKE SURE YOUR LINK IS ATTACHED TO AN EMAIL SO I CAN CONTACT YOU FOR YOUR ADDRESS.
Prizes!:

———————-
This contest ends Friday Nov 7th. Winners will be announced Mon Nov 10th
There it is folks…spread the word…yeah there are amazing prizes and fun to be had, but most of all I get to build up the community I had plus get ot meet some new people or have some new reads enriching my life.
Just to let you know also to encourage RSS subscribing. If you thought my old blog was cool it’s about to get way awesomer (yes that is a word today).
If I have missed something or something makes no sense to you and is like in Klingon let me know.
Joel, your site looks great.
I guess I’m a tier 3.
I’ve updated your rss in my reader.
I’ve added you to my blogroll.
I have a post set to publish at noon today directing my millions of readers to your new space (ok, ok so maybe I don’t have millions of readers)!
