Giveaway! May 18, 2009
Posted by Emily in : Saba, Thoughts, Utah , trackbackHey 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?
Please take.
To download a picture using Mozilla Firefox, simply right click on the picture then select, “Save Link As” and select where you want to save it. To download a picture using Internet Explorer, you also right click on the picture and then select, “Save Target As” and select where you want to save the file. There you have it! (You could even comment to say which picture you like. Totally easy!)

Always reading the “dang post”….but 50% commenter.
Always reading your posts but have only commented once!!!
I LOVE the pic of the saba sunset. My ex is in the Navy and it reminds me of him. He is on a deployment right now, so thats all he probably sees, the ocean and the sun/moon!!
I hope you guys have a great day!!
I READ IT!!!! Yeah!! I usually do, but I usually only comment if I can really relate.
You are such a giver!
Hi.
Diana found your blog and told me about it – so here I am, occasionally…
I love reading your posts & looking at your pictures!
I am wearing clothes.
I am at work.
I like to eat food.
I love the first picture with the rainbow!
I miss you and your family!
Hi Emily Em.
Just wanted to add my name to the role call.
Your faithful blog fan.
Rebecca.
Hey Emily!
I always love reading your posts. And I guess since I have the floor for just a minute, I would like to say that I love those pictures! My husband and I were having fun thinking about living in a place like that. Possibly Costa Rica. I think it would be an adventure for our family, but the only thing that makes it a dream is that I really do love living in the US. I would miss my family terribly, and I wouldn’t be so sure of how to adjust to a new country and culture. So, if we did go, I probably would only want to experience it for a short term. You can’t beat an average 70 degree weather year round!
Hey blog friend…seems like just yesterday that I stumbled upon your blog when you were prego on the island followed your adventure then had the gumption to finally leave a comment when you had your own colicky child! haha. It was so fun to meet and get to know you in person. Love your pictures they are all beautiful!
Gorgeous pictures! Thanks for sharing.
I still need to finish up my own giveaway, but mine requires postage and packaging, so it’s taking longer than it should. Yours is on the way soon, though I’ll probably hand it to you at church.
Thanks for taking me back to that island…………………..
I confess, I am a blog stalker. I take, take, take and never really give. Shame on me. I just smile and ponder lots of things you have written about on your blog.
Love to see how you and kids and David are doing. I just need some real face time. Soon, the Brentster’s schedule is going to be a bit more free……..
Please tell David and kids, HELLO from the Crane family.
I read more than I comment, I really do.
It’s not the same now that you have moved away, and Savannah still wants to visit Hannah at Grandma’s. So, away from all distractions of home, I comment in between distractions at work. Love the blog. You really have a knack for comedic writing.
