I wanted to congratulate and thank all of you who participate. I only wish this past month could have been a better one where I posted consistently. It was just a bad month overall. I have so much to catch up with!

Oh the winners are:

D with 29 comments, then Maria with 20, and mapgirl with 13!

I’ll be sending an email shortly to each of you to confirm the email address is correct. Once that is done, I’ll send you the certificates.

I hope you enjoyed it…I look forward to doing more in the future, next time on a good month I hope.

Expect a tally of comments in the next few days.  Thank you for all your participation!  I hope you enjoyed this contest as much as I did.

I wish this was a better month for my blog, because then I think this contest would have been much more exciting. Today is the last day! So be sure to comment away…Thank you all for participating! I’ll post up more details once the contest is over.

Good luck catching up with D! I’m pretty sure the battle is for 2nd place at this point.

I’m reading them…really!  And I will answer them…just give me a little more time.  I need to post some content because I’m getting sick of not seeing anything happening on my own blog.  Really, even if I don’t respond, I’m reading them all, and I will get to them soon.

Half the month is done!  Good luck to all those entered.  Remember, $40, $20, and $10!

In case this happens…if 4 or more people tie for a spot, the pool will be split up…For example, if 1 person is first, and 4 people tied for 2nd, then 1st person will receive full $40, and the 4 folks tied for 2nd will receive $7.50 each ($20 + $10 = $30 / 4 = $7.50).

Don’t forget my October Freedumb Contest is running!  Because I don’t have enough time to post something somewhat beneficial to my readers, I thought I’d share…the current comment counts!

It’s going to be an exciting month! Great things happening for bloggers and readers.

This will be a short post, but I just wanted to remind everyone of all the events going on in the PF Blogging community dealing with “promotion” type deals. I’m again crunched for time this week.

First let me start of with the Boglehead Project being hosted by JLP @ AllThingsFinancial. Today is day 1, so be sure to check it out!

By the way, it’s Boglehead, after John Bogle of Vanguard, and not bobblehead, which are those figures that have big heads that “bobble.” Oddly a bobble head is on the cover.

Next up the Freedumb October Contest! All you need to do is comment to win 40, 20, or 10 bucks!! Check it out. It’s probably one of the easiest contests ever!

My apologizies to Flexo because he also decided to run an October contest, but he’s changing it. I think it would’ve been great to have that one going on as well!

Speaking of multiple contests, there’s one more going on at Adventures in Money Making…win a $50 Amazon.com gift certificate! Check it out as well.

So look out! Put some extra time aside for reading and writing…October 06 is going to be a good one!

The Freedumb Contest
October 2006

Win up to $40 (US Dollars) in Amazon.com gift certificates.

It’s obvious, my readers have helped to motivate me to blog, so I want to give back.  Yes, I’ve made some money from my blog, but trust me, I haven’t seen a single check yet, so the amount of prize money is very close to how much I’ve made.  But I love feedback even more, so I want to thank you.  And please, tell others to visit and participate!
