SuperMegaGiveAway [My First Contest]

April 28th, 2008  |  Published in Blogging, Features, Tech  |  15 Comments

Welcome. I write for church leaders on topics like strategy and communication. Since this is your first visit, don't forget to subscribe to my RSS feed.

After I posted the offer to do free Wordpress installs for church leaders, I received dozens of requests. “Dozens” may not seem like a lot to an uber-blogger like Los or Tony, but for a little guy like me, it was fun to get a great response.

About a week later, Cory from iThemes.com and Church Communications Pro contacted me and asked me if I wanted to join with him to give away a free premium theme from his newest venture. Duh! Yeah, I’d love to give my readers a rockin’ premium theme. But, just like anything in life, there’s a catch, but it’s a fun catch.

The official prize will be a free theme of your choice from iThemes.com and a free Wordpress install from me. Cory will give you the theme and I’ll install it and do some small tweaks to it to make it fit your personality. If you already have a self-hosted Wordpress blog, you can still be eligible for the theme, but you won’t need the install (obviously).

How to Enter

In the comments section of this post (and you’re welcome to post your entry on your blog if you wish, but it’s not required as long as you’ve posted it here) finish this statement: “If I had a million readers on my blog, I’d…”

So there you have it. Be funny, silly, serious, it doesn’t matter! Just finish that statement in the comments section of this post and you’re entered to win one of the above prizes.

Rules:

  • One entry per person.
  • The winner will be chosen by a random number generator.
  • The contest will run for 72 hours beginning with the time stamp for the post.

Comments are open.
