Contest: Pimping for More Followers
Yes. Paid Admission to 2010 RomCon in Denver!!!!!
SPREAD THE WORD!!!
On the 27th of February 2010 I started a blog on a whim. And you guys have embraced me like you wouldn't believe. Now, I'm trying to figure out what took me so long to do this.
So my contest is three-fold. One, to thank everyone who has treated me so kindly and given me encouragement; two, since this blog is also for you, let me know how I can improve it; and three to pimp for more followers! LOL.
Since my contest has three purposes, it will have three winners!
EDITED TO ADD:
Ha, Ha. Now it's 4 winners, cause I'm an overachiever!
Grand Prize:
Paid admission to 2010 RomCon in Denver. Date of conference is July 9th - July 11th, 2010 (This is for the ADMISSION ONLY! Not hotel, meals, and airfare! - hey, I'm not rich I have little kids here people!) Value is $125.00
Runner Up:
I will have two book drawings for U.S. Residents and one drawing for an International Residents. The two U.S. winners will have the option of picking between the two book packages (first come first serve). The international winner will get to pick a book (or books) to be shipped to them from the Book Depository. Their Book Depository shipment has to be under $10.00.
Grand Prize:
Entrance Fee to the 2010 RomCon in Denver Click HERE for details on the conference.
Prize 2: Books (U.S. Contestants Only):
Prize 3: Books(U.S. Contestants Only):
Prize 4: Free Book - You Decide on a book up to $10.00 from the Book Depository (International Only):
Here's how to enter:
- Be a Follower of my blog.

- U.S. Residents are eligible to enter for the books ONLY. International Residents are elibible to win a book up to $10.00 anywhere where the Book Depository will ship. ONLY
- Sorry. We're back to the hey, I'm Not Rich thing!
- I'll have three winners in addition to the Grand Prize Winners. The additional winners will be two U.S. (for the book baskets) and one International (for the You Chose Book Certificate). For the U.S. winners, after I announce the winners, it will be first come first serve. The first person who e-mails me and lets me know which batch of books they'd like wins it.

Great Lynette!
I'm trying to gain followers, too. Would you let me know if this helps? I'd really appreciate it!
I really like the way it is layed out and easy to read! Thanks for the contest!
Girl your blog is awesome and once people get around to it they'll follow! That's what I did!
Ok what I like?.......well that hunk up on your header of course...and the one in your button! That's why I grabbed your button oh so long ago LOL!
Hey Lynette, I think you've got a great looking place here. I have no constructive criticism :)
I follow you on twitter and of course I'll tweet about it and put you on my contest sidebar.
Got your button too!
I Like your blog. The reviews are informative. I'm a new follower on your blog and on twitter.
I like how organized your blog looks. I'm jealous that your sidebar boxes are separated. I can't figure out how to do that O_o
hey Lynette! Your blog looks great! You have have a subscribe button! AWESOME!
Hi Lynette. What a nice blog you have. I love your header graphics and your reviews. :)
Lynette - you know I love the blog and I think it looks great. I wouldn't change a thing :)
I'm a twitter follower and I have you in my right sidebar - good luck with getting more followers!
Don't change anything especially the eye candy at the top! It is easy to read and I love the red! Thanks for the chance for winning the books! I RT'd your contest yesterday!
Hi Lynette! I love your blog. I think it's bright, easy to read and funny. :) I've got to figure out how to follow you. Yes, I'm that bad at techie stuff. LOL.
Hello my Vulcan friend. What I would like to see on your blog is a section dedicated to me because I know how much you love me! I don't sound to vain by writing that do I? hehe Just Kidding. Everything looks fine on your blog and I'm happy that you are having a contest. :)
I'm stalking you everywhere.
Yes it's me again.
This is a test of the emergency blog system. *long beep* BEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your blog looks great. Always like a chance to win a free book. Good luck with increasing your followers.
My comment stayed, but what is a blog button? I know, I know it's probably obvious, right? :)
The comments section was fine. It was the form I had everyone enter for the book giveaway that I screwed up. The blog button if for anyone who has a blog that can put my button on their blog for extra entries.
Sorry for the confusion.
I think your blog looks great (especially the yummy goodness that is your header). I just noticed you’re an Army vet. We’re an Air Force family living in hot and humid Fort Polk.
Had to repost because I’m the typo queen tonight ;)
Hey guys thanks for the awesome feedback. I'm such a newbie at this, so thank you for embracing me.
@Luci I tried to do the suscribe thingy for the RSS feed. Let me know if it doesn't work.
@thebookvixen I have no idea how I was able to seperate that sidebar thingy. It's not me, I bow down to the awesomeness of Leontine for the blog design.
Keep the comments coming, even though I don't always comment right away, I do read them. Now got to deal with whiny 6 year old.
TTYL.
I think your blog is very organized :D and i love the white text&red background~
awesome contest I like that your blog is well organized and easy to read
I think it's a great blog! The text is easy to read, it's well organized, and easy to follow! :)
Great contest! I like how everything is organized.
Its a gorgeous blog...love it! I hope you like Soulless! I did. I can't wait to explore your blog!!
Great Contest!! I'm trying to create a blog roll so give me a day or so to post your button :)
Love your blog especially the eyecandy up top :) looks great.
I love your blog! You've got a mighty fine looking blog over here and look at those followers...few to go until 100! YAY!
Love the colors!
One question:
You have a side bar item called SHOULD READ...do you mean YOU should be reading that or should WE (your blog visitors) read that one?
Hugs,
Pearl
Hey Lynette! Way to get this blog rolling. :) {{{hugs}}}
Hey Lynette! Way to go with blog! I love how easy it is to read!
Thanks guys for all the wonderful comments. I appreciate it. Be sure to let me know what I should change.
@Pearl UR right. It should be books that I Should be Reading. Like stuff I'm supposed to review for here or other sites I review for. LOL!
I am not sure you really need to change anythign Lynette. I really like that your reviews stand out because of the "Lynette's Two Cents" insert. Thank you for offering up this giveaway. I certainly know about not being Rich...if only I had money...lots and lots of money. I might never have to work and then I'd get even more books read!
Hi Lynette. I am a new follower. Found ya on Twitter. I haven't really got to look around yet but; I sure love the hot guy on the top of the blog. Thanks for the great contest.

Great giveaway! I really like your blog! The only suggestion I would say would be to have a twitter button so if people came to your blog they could find you on twitter:)
Thanks!!
Great contest!!! you seem to have a very cool site and with pretty amazing reviews!! I'd been reading some of your reviews and i really liked your input! :D
Hi Lynette!
Your blog is great, you don't need to change a thing. Thanks for having such a great giveaway.
Happy Reading :)

Congratulations, Lynette!! I enjoy reading your blog and tweets!!
Hey - sorry, I think I may have entered the competition twice by mistake! I'm definitely not trying to cheat, not sure if I entered once or twice - so thought I'd let you know in the comments!
(Also, side-notes: 1. Don't apologise for your prizes because you're poor! It's generous enough of you to be holding a giveaway at all, let alone one with such an expensive grand prize, so definitely don't feel bad in any way! And 2. I love that you're so open about the reason for this contest. :D "Pimping for more followers"? Well, you got me! :)
I like your "favourite 2010 reads" section (I think it would be interesting to have an overall favourites list as well, but I know you only started this blog in 2010)
One feature that I didn't see that I always like is a list of book reviews, organised by author's name or title. I do like, though, that you can search reviews by genre label.
Hope these comments help! :)
@Ruth
Thanks for the reply. Umm . . . don't take me seriously when I say I'm poor. I'm poor like anyone with two young kids and daycare costs is poor. LOL!
Thanks for your suggestions. Now, I'm going to play around and see if I can do what you suggested and search for reviews by name or title. Anyone know how to do that off the top of their head?
Hi Lynette, Don't really see where you need to make changes. Just go with this and you can always chg things or add if you want to.
I don't know if I will be able to go to RomCon so should I be chosen can you pass it to someone else. I have been avid reader for over 55 yrs so would love to with either Pack 2 or 3.
I filled out form.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter this awesome contest.
I don't know how to find my status on twitter but did send new tweet..to 264 tweeters

I really like your layout for cute and organized :)
I Like The Way Your Blog Looks. The Side Bar Boxes Are Pretty Kool. And Everything Looks Like You Put A Lot Of Thought Into Were It Should Go. As I Am Not Looking To Go To RomCom If I Win I Hope To Take A Pass On That In Lue Of The Books. Awesome Giveaway You Have Going On.
I think your blog is wonderful!

Hey Lynette, thank you for this generous giveaway and for thinking of your international followers too! :-)
Hm.. you ask for suggestions on what you could improve.. hm.. I like that you use labels so it is easy to search through them. I think if you had a new page in your navigation (Book reviews) where you compiled a list of all the reviews you ahve written (either by author's name or title) that woudl be helpful. That's what comes to my mind right now..
Thank you!
