< Random bits and pieces, part 2 : Random bits and pieces, part 3 >
I've decided to run a quick and simple competition where you can win 100 Entrecard Credits. These can be used to buy ads on the Entrecard site.All you have to do is leave a comment on this entry and you will be entered. If you wish, you can also drop your card on the Entrecard widget shown on my home page. You do not have to drop your card to enter the competition, but if you don't, I won't be able to check out your site!
If you're an existing Entrecard user, please make sure you leave your Entrecard email address when you comment. This is so I can send the credits to your account. You don't have to be an existing user to enter - just use any email address that is currently active.
Nobody will see your email address except me. I respect your privacy and will not give out your email address to anyone.
Once this blog entry has 25 comments from different people, the competition will be closed and I will pick a winner at random. If you try to enter twice, you will be disqualified.
While you're here, why not have a look at some of my recent blog entries?
What's at the heart of your site?

Good luck!

Count me in, and good luck to everyone.
Welcome, and thanks for commenting! :)
Just an addendum to the above rules: if this blog entry doesn't have 25 comments from different people by Christmas Eve (that's one week away), then I will just run the competition with the people who have commented to that point. My comments do not count.
Well this is my comment.
Cool, you can add an image in the comment.

Christmas feed! Is that like turkey and stuffing?
Welcome! :)
I'm in.
lol, my verification was... 'Mrs Piles'
Just what i needed to cheer me up at 6:23am =)
I hope i win the entrecard points, this piggy has never won anything in contests =(
Help the pig!!

Welcome to you both, and good luck :)
I'm not gonna say no to more ec!
Hi Lis! Thanks for stopping by, good luck with the competition :)
I'm in! This is the easiest way to run a contest. Same method I use to give away my weekly monster jackpot (600EC 12/20)
Hey Reno! I certainly can't be bothered with complex requirements, e.g. blog about this blog entry, send a trackback etc. It's difficult for the participants, and it's difficult for me. Easy makes the most sense to me. :)
Good luck, and thanks for stopping by!
PS: 7 entries so far.
Hi im in edited out email - Ben
Thanks
Hi, thanks for joining! :) I edited out your email address - as an admin I can see it anyway as you put it in the email field. Editing it out of your comment means you won't get spammed. Good luck with the competition!
Here's my comment, you have to be crazy not to enter, it is so easy :)
Hi Colin, thanks for the entry. :) After all, this is "Blogging and website tips without the jargon"... so why not run "Competitions without the hassle" from time to time? :D
Good luck! 9 entries so far...
Very good idea! Count me in Ben.
Welcome back, Djakson. :) You're in the draw.
I like what you wrote on '5 Tips For.." especially this:
"I'd rather link to a blog entry that would be of interest to my target audience."
As, too often, writing a post about some other site is so totally inappropriate for my blog.
I so totally agree and so I'm already out of the running for that contest.
Thank you for running this contest. I'm grateful to be able to enter.

Thanks Pam for the comment. Good to hear I'm not alone in this. :) Good luck with the competition, and thanks for entering!
11 entries so far...
Oh wow another Entrecard contest. That would be a sweet Christmas gift to win this contest! I must admit I have read some of these contests and I haven't been real impressed.
The prize that is being promoted doesn't meet with all the work that I have to do. I like this one. Leave a comment and you are in the contest, sweet.
Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Hello, thanks for commenting! :) I like to keep it nice and easy. Good to see another person who appreciates the simple approach.
Thanks also for the Merry Christmas - same to you! :D
Comment , and I might get 100 credits . Why not ? I am enjoying Entrecard.
Seriously, just comment, eh? I just found you today. Glad I did! I can totally use a few tips, but being a novice I need it to be in layman's terms! Thanks!
Thanks to you both for your comments. :) Good luck with the draw.
Sean: I'm enjoying Entrecard too. It's a good site.
Sweet Mummy: hope I can give you some helpful tips in future.
14 entries so far!
Extra Credits are always a bonus, for commenting on a blog. Your tips are a good read.
Hi Dave, thanks for the comment. :) Glad you found the tips useful. Good luck with the draw. (15 entries so far.)
As it's now December 24th, I am no longer taking entries for this competition. The winner will be announced soon!
NNOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn, I'm two days too late! Lol... I swear, this is like the fourth blog I ran across from entrecard that I JUST missed their contest! LOL... oh well, maybe next time.

Sorry about that, Jay! Still, thanks for stopping by - perhaps you'll find something of interest in my blog. :)
