I am updating your new address in my Google Page Rank Chain there are still 42 entries left, so you should have an authority over 40 at the end of it.

Tyson-

Thanks for making this change. I noticed that some of the other bloggers who were on this contest, branched out. We are still added in the contest but they sort of picked it up on their own and ran with it. Most of them still point to your blog, so you still get all of the credit. I am trying to track most of them down so that they can change my url. I have had luck so far. Thanks for changing it for me.

It looks like I had solid control over 3rd place. I am looking forward to next month’s

You definitely had 3rd place locked up. Thanks for all the comments!

I need to be a bit more organized with the contests, and offer official 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes from the start.

Thanks to Jay’s contest, I have had a LOT of practice pushing that “publish” button this month. Last night, I blew through a week’s worth of commenting backlog on my own blog, without obsessing, without delay.

Wow, you win a prize and develop useful life skills…what a contest!

Please don’t!

Before the contest, responding to comments on my own blog was very difficult. I agonized about tone, grammar, etc. in the same way as I did when writing a blog post.

Now, please don’t mention that the comment backlog might have COME from my focus on the comment contest. I’m not listening. {grin}

When I first learned to drive a car, I had to go through a mental checklist: key in ignition? Check. Look in side view mirror? Check. Step on brake? Check? etc.

Now, after two decades of driving, I come and go without noticing any of these mechanics (unless the car doesn’t start!) I focus instead on where I want to go, and which roads to take to get there.

So thank you, Jay, for giving me comment-writing driving lessons. Now I just need to learn how to shut up!

All the best,

I also wanted to say that I moved my blog to gajemaster.com .

Congratulations on getting the move finished! It’s quite a job, but I think you’ll be happier now having full control over everything.

Gage Master/Rosa made it so much more exciting on the last day!

It was defiantly a lot of fun. I can’t wait for the next contest. I wanted to thank jay for doing this for us. What a motivation.

I also wanted to say that I moved my blog to gajemaster.com . I glad to have made this move even though it took me forever to do it. I also did what Jay had told me to do and wrote one last post telling people about the move.

So, let us know when the next contest is.
