Ok, so it’s the 5th of the month and I am finally doing my housekeeping post, and also my first post of the month. I guess I’ve been slacking a bit in the blogging department lately, but life has been busy. Without further ado, let’s get down to business!

October’s Top Commentators

Wow, this is only about the second time that I can remember that I didn’t have to invoke my minimum comment rule to get a link in this portion of this post! It’s great to not have to use that rule and I thank all of you who have commented here. However, I can’t link to everyone (well, I could but that would kinda defeat the purpose) so here are the top 10 from last month.

Andrea – 21 comments
Derek – 4 comments
Damien – 4 comments
Enkay Blog– 3 comments
Martin – 3 comments
Armen Shirvanian – 3 comments
Tiger – 3 comments
Tammy – 3 comments
How to Blog – 3 comments

Ok, I know that’s only 9, but there was a 4-way tie for 10-13 so I decided that I either had to stop at 9 or go to 13. Thank you to those people and let’s see if we can raise the bar a little bit for making the list for next month.

I’m Not On 45n5’s Top 100 List

If anyone knows how to actually get on the 45n5 top 100 list, let me know. Perhaps I don’t meet all of the requirements to make the list, but I am pretty sure that I would rate higher than at least a few of the sites currently on there.

I submitted my site the first time about 6 weeks ago. About 2 or 3 weeks ago I checked and was not on there. Since I wasn’t on the list yet, I resubmitted it in the event that there was some sort of technical glitch that prevented my submission from getting through. I just checked again still don’t see my site listed.

RSS = Flash Drive

Ok, the teasing is over. Here is the deal on my newest promotion. I wanted to start this a couple of days ago, but had a couple of redirect issues to work through. Now that everything seems to be working right, I am going to try and increase my RSS subscriber count. Did you know that you can now subscribe to romandock dot com via email?

How would you like to win the flash drive you see to the right? Well, I am giving it away and it’s a fairly simple entry process. There are two ways to enter, but only one way to find out if you have won!

The first thing you are going to want to do is to subscribe to my RSS feed and let me know that you have subscribed. Each person who subscribes will get 1 entry into the drawing, but subscribing multiple times using multiple methods will NOT get you additional entries.

To get an additional entry, just mention and link to this promotion on your site and contact me with the URL of your post. However, I am once again going to limit this entry method, this time it will be 1 additional entry per site with a limit of 2 sites per person.

Ok, so you’ve gotten entered; now, about the winner. The winner will be announced via a message in the footer of my RSS feed sometime around the first part of December. I am announcing the winner in RSS only as a means to encourage everyone to keep reading my feed. This is also the reason why I am not giving an exact date on which the winner will be announced.

As one final limitation, while I appreciate and value all of my readers, I will only ship this flash drive to addresses in the US and Canada. The reason for this is simply the high cost of international shipping. I apologize to those of you who are disqualified by this limitation and I hope you understand.
