Giveaway! May 18, 2009

Posted by Emily in : Saba, Thoughts, Utah , 11comments

Hey you! Yeah you! Looking at my blog on your monitor!

We’re friends, I’m sure of it. Even if I don’t know you. (At least I think we are because you’re reading this.)

Here’s the thing, our relationship has been so one way. I’m always talking, and you’re always listening.

ALWAYS listening.

Come on, you want to say something sometimes. Right?

I know you do.

One way conversations are SO BORING!

So, here’s the thing, speak up!

Yeah you! Reading this right now!

It has come to my attention by many readers that you may not know how to say something.

Several of you have sent me emails expressing your suppressed frustration with not knowing how to comment.

Well, I’m here to clear things up.

My blog layout is a little different from other blogs.

I know the most logical place to look to leave a comment it at the END of a blog post, but what can I say? I like to switch things up. I like to keep my readers guessing and confused. I guess.

On my blog, if you look at the TOP of the post, you will see the categories for the post and NUMBER of COMMENTS.

It’s really that simple. Just click on COMMENTS, and you will have the floor to say what ever you want, for how ever long you want.

When writing a comment, the field asks for your name, email, and web address if you have one. Here’s the break down:

NAME: Tells me who you are
EMAIL: tells me you’re a REAL person (your email won’t be published). Not just some crazy computer spamming me. I get plenty of spam. Thank goodness for this field to weed all that out.
WEB ADDRESS: If you have a blog or other website enter your web address, and other readers who read your comment will be directly linked to your site when they click on your name.

Simple, right?

So speak up now!

Leave me a comment! I want to know who you are! Since we’re friends and all, you should at least say, “hi!” Tell me what your wearing, where you’re from, what you like to do, or what you like to eat. Heck, just leave a comment saying, “I read the dang post.”

That will do.

As a thanks for making this a two-way conversation, I’m having a GIVEAWAY!

It’s not a typical giveaway contest because EVERYONE wins! Really! I’m posting high resolution downloads of Saba. Want a new screen saver? Desk top photo? A cruise ship on your bathroom wall?
