How to win the larger prizes:

There are Two Winners – I will choose them based on the honesty of the review, as well as how useful it is to make the blog a better one:

• First place will receive: Custom Blog Design + All Capture Enterprise Edition
• Second place receives a Custom Blog Design
• All of the other entries receive 35 Entries towards the lottery

Here is what you have to do to enter this part of the contest:

• Write an honest review on Bradblogging.com – Critique or praise, It doesn’t really matter to me. What do you think of the website? Would you recommend it to another person? Minimum 300 Words.
• Link to one or more pages that you like/despise.
• On Oct 31st, 2008 – I will choose a winner.
• The people who don’t win from the review for this part of the section will receive 35 Entries for the other part above. So you really have nothing to lose

Can’t wait to see what everyone is going to do for this contest. When you’ve completed one of the items, simply comment here and I’ll verify that the entry is valid, and credit you your entries.

All of the current email subscribers will gain 5 entries, so don’t worry about that.

Good Luck to all and have a great October! Stay tuned for some content that truly will make your blogging life easier.

*****

Legal Information:

By entering this contest, you agree by the following terms. I have good trust in all of the sponsors and that they will deliver everything that they have committed too, but just incase there is a “rotten apple” (which is morally wrong and shameful) among the bunch, here is our terms:

• All of the sponsors that have not given Bradblogging.com any of the goods and therefore we have no control of whether they will actually deliver the prize. In the event of you winning a prize, we will contact them and give them your email to sort out shipping and of transfer of the prizes won.
• In the event of the sponsors not giving you what you have won, we will not be held responsible or in anyway liable.
