This is my #1000th post. I’ve imported all the posts I have from my old blogs (and I’m missing several months actually). I’ve been blogging since about 2001 in various places: Deadjournal, Livejournal, WordPress.com, Sub-domain hosted twice, and now Monniblog.
So I’m hosting a contest to drum up some excitement, have some fun, and make some new blogging friends! Contest is running from today (July 5th) to July 24th at midnight my time (GMT-8). Then I will have the weekend to figure out the winners.
How to Enter
- Comment: The easiest way to get an entry is to leave a comment here… and mention which prize you want to be entered for (or just say “any” if you’d like any, or mention two of the categories… or three). In theory, you could be entered once in each category (maximum of 4 entries).
- Blog: Blog about my contest with a link to this post and you’ll get another three entries. (Make sure I get a pingback from your URL or leave a link to your specific post). You don’t need to tell people to say you sent them, you automatically get three extra entries for blogging!
- Bookmark my blog OR Subscribe to my RSS Feed: You will get an additional entry for every comment you leave on any other post from June & July 2008. If you’ve already commented somewhere — I’ll count them!
- Suggestion: Tell me how I can improve my blog or leave a link to something you think I should consider to improve my blog (giveaway, blog topic, weekly meme, challenge, contest, graphic, blogring, etc). P.S. Remember… I’m currently redesigning the blog as we speak so go easy on the design-in-progress. ;)
- Guess. Guess how many comments I will have by the time this contest ends (in total on the whole blog). The closest guess will win the Surprise Prize!
The not-so-fine print: This contest is open to all residents anywhere in the world with a valid address (no P.O. boxes please). You must be of legal age to receive the following prizes if/when you win.
The Prizes
(soon to be revealed in detail)
- The Knitter-Friendly Prize
- The Reader-Friendly Prize
- The Pet-Friendly Prize
- The Random Surprise Prize (for guessing comments total)

Wow, 1000 posts! Good on you! Congrats!
Knitting prize, mmm… I love contests. ;)
That’s a pretty remarkable accomplishment, congrats! Throw my name in for the knitting prize, please! I’m so glad to have found you! :)
Wow I am in awe of your 1000th post. What a great achievement. I would love any of the prizes, I like to knit while I read with a cat on my lap and a dog at my feet. The kids we won’t mention. I reckon you’ll end up with 198 posts.
Congrats on the 1000th post. i can’t picture getting close to that! great blog by the way.
I’d go for knitting or reading. I’m guessing 164 comments
Congrats on the big post! I’d go for knitting, reading, or pets. I’ll guess 1,027. Thanks! Debbie
Hi again – I also bookmarked your blog. Keep up the great stuff! Debbie
Congrats on 1000 posts! I still have a ways to go to get there!
I will be linking to your blog at http://www.mustkeepknitting.wordpress.com after I write this comment.
I’m also subscribing!
I think your blog is great! More contests is always a plus! Adding me to your blogroll would make it even more awesome! =) Just Kidding.
I’m going to guess 121 comments!
Knitter Friendly for me, please!

Forgot to say that I would love the knitter friendly surprise!
Comment: Congrats on 1000 entries! I still have to import all my old ones, it’s very tedious.
Blog: Done! If you didn’t get the ping, it’s here. http://jacksonfour.com/?p=831
Suggestion: Personally, I like clean sidebars. You might try posting your statistics; recent comments, entries, etc.; on a separate page.
Congrats on 1,000 posts! That’s amazing. I just found your blog through Cass’ blog…Shut Up, I’m Counting…
I’m sure you’ll wind up with well over 2,880 comments by the time this contest ends.
Congratulations!! I can’t seem to blog everyday to save my life!!
I’m a knitter,so the knitter friendly prize would be wonderful, and I’ll guess that you’ll have 213 comments about this contest.
