At This Rate

Welcome back!
At the rate I’m going this won’t take long, but I want to be prepared. I am inching ever so near my 500th post here on the blog. In fact this is post #404 here. So, I asked my Twitter friends what they thought I should do to celebrate my 500th post and one of them responded have a contest. I think it’s a great idea, mind you, but my question is “What kind?” and “Where do I get the prizes?” and all that jazz soooooo…. I am open to suggestions.
Please make yours in the comments below. I am also open to prize donations. If you would like to donate something to this I’d love it and I”ll do lots of link love for you as well as it being a great promo tool for you, your product or service and your business or blog. So, help a girl out, comment, suggest, donate and let’s get ready to celebrate my 500th post. Should be coming in the next 90 days or so.
In other related news, you may notice I have a new theme. Not long ago Real Life Design gave me a new look with a new header and background but I was craving a new layout, one with a navigation bar and more room in the sidebars to make everything look cleaner so here it is…. what do you think?? Is it a keeper?

I love your new look:) As far as your contest idea, I think it’s great!! I can donate a sample bag of healthy chocolates if you are interested.

Congratulations on your 500th post. Now I have to say that the new look does not look as new but I like it anyways.

Ok that last post was mine. Forgot to give my whole name. Anyway I can donate either a copy of my e-book Transitioning Your Family with Ease of a 3 month subscription to the Vegan Meal Helper service.

Your site looks very clean and organized. It’s great. I might have something to donate. It’s more of a timing thing, if I can get my order in for the product, so that I can start advertising it.
Check back with me when you get closer and really start to set up the contest.

I love your new look! I need to work on my layout on my site. Yet another thing on my to-do list. I can donate to your prizes. If you want to contact me I can send a list of different things I can donate and you can let me know what you are interested in…
(Oh, I’m Unycorne from Twitter, btw.)
Have a great day!

YAY! You took my suggestion. I think a contest where people make comments or something like that would be great.
I can donate a Value template for Wordpress and 6 months free website hosting.
