Loy Meets World

I love contests. I join all types of contests, online and offline, ranging from essay writing to lotteries. No contest is too big nor too small for me, as long as it promises a significant reward that could be fame or fortune,or both.

So when I read that WP Webhost is organizing a contest for the Coolest Wordpress Blog, I decided to try my puny luck and hope that destiny will see it fit to reward my audacity. Imagine, I’ve just been blogging for less than a month, and now I’m competing for $2,000 worth of prizes that are enough to make my head spin. Sure, 2,000 bucks is chump change for my idol Bill Gates, but that might be enough for me to jumpstart my fledgling Internet career and make me a future billionaire. That is, if you cooperate with me.

These prizes will surely make your head spin (I’m still massaging my neck):

• 1st Prize Winner: $500 Cash (via PayPal) + The Unlimited Video Theme Pack from Press75.com worth $295 + 6 Months WooThemes Club Single User Subscription for from WooThemes worth $250 + WP Freedom Plan Life Time Hosting Sponsorship worth $100/year.
• 2nd Prize Winner: $250 Cash (via PayPal) + Developer License for Content Press WordPress Premium Template from WTM worth $249 + Personal License for Themes of Your Choice from Zidalgo worth $75 + WP Freedom Plan Life Time Hosting Sponsorship worth $100/year.
• 3rd and 4th Prize Winners: $125 Cash (via PayPal) + 1 Year WP Freedom Plan worth $100

What’s the Deal, McNeal?

Here’s the deal. You make a comment on this post (I need at least five of them) and then I comment on a similar post (or any post that you need commenters) on your own blog. Fair enough?

Should I win, I will choose one commenter and give him/her 20% of the cash prize. So if I’m lucky enough to win the first prize, I will fork over $100 to the equally lucky commenter. Again, fair enough?

Just five (5) comments and I will be on my way to fame and fortune! Okay, I’m exaggerating. But there’s no better way to help a startup blogger with a one-month-old blog than to accede to shameless requests such as this.

By the way, the deadline is November 15, 2008. I don’t know if this is GMT or Central Time or Pacific Time or whatever. Just comment way before the deadline period so that I don’t have to convince my neighbors into visiting my blog. Just kidding.

And to the contest organizers: please, save your good intentions for a struggling billionaire-wannabe with poor eyesight. In short, pick me!
