You should consider adding the "edit comments" plugin on your blog. I always mess up my comments and want to edit them. I forget the name of it, but im sure it in google. P.S.

I got new visitors, new subs, and 37 comments. It stands as the most commented post on the blog still. Plus the giveaway was fun, too. (IMO) I plan on doing another contest soon, ideally it would be cool to do one monthly, but i cant guarantee the time for it. Also thanxs for choosing me as the winner for OIO, i absolutely LOVE that plugin. I think the only reason more people arent using it, is either because they dont know about it or because its not free. But it is such a great tool for any blog. Why would anyone want to split their ad money with anyone else? Right. I had a contest on my main blog (Groovy Vegetarian.com) a few months ago, and it went very well.

If the content is good, there should be no problem but if it 'blows', then the buzz will only last for a little but and the chances of readers UNsubscribing increase dramatically. One thing I do like about these contests where you have to subscribe, is that it leads me to a blog that I wouldn't have read before. I am enjoying this blog and am looking forward to the next contest. I am in DESPERATE need of my own custom template. Keep up the great work, I agree that plugin is powerful!
