It’s Almost Summer!
Posted by Mike | Filed under Contests
Do you feel the heat already? I do, and because of that, I’m launching yet another contest (If you missed the other contest or just want to check who won, click here)! It’s all about prizes and fun under the sun, so make sure you don’t miss this contest… it’s going to be a blast! This contest will run from March 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008.
Contest Details
In this contest, you have to rake in “points” to win. It’s not a raffle contest, so you will only win if you participate well. The people who gather the biggest number of points will win. There will be three winners (1st, 2nd, and 3rd), and each will receive a bunch of prizes! How do you earn points? Well… let’s see now…
Joining the contest will earn you 5 points, that’s to “motivate” you. 
Simply leave a comment on this post to join. I’ll be looking for “Hey, I’m joining the contest!” in your comment, so don’t forget to put that.
Subscribing via e-mail will earn you 50 points! That’s a big number of points, guys. If you have already subscribed, leave a comment saying “I’ve subscribed to the feeds via e-mail”. Make sure that the e-mail you use in the comment is the one you used for subscribing. I’m going to check it! Click here to subscribe.
Leaving a comment DURING THE CONTEST will earn you 1 point per comment. Come on guys, it’s too easy to leave a comment. Don’t complain about the number of points now… but hey, I’m not going to accept comments like “nice post” or some other spammy one-liners. 
Spreading the heat will earn you 20 points. You don’t run around the town holding your wireless heater, you tell the people around you about The WWW Observer and this summer contest! Just publish a post about TW3O and this contest and you’ll get 20 points. Sounds easy, huh? 
Answering the weekly riddle will earn you 15 points. The riddle will only be available via RSS feeds, so make sure that you’re subscribed to get the chance to answer the riddles. The riddles will be about The WWW Observer, so you better make use of that search bar there. The first five (5) people who send in the correct answer via the contact form will get the points. I will send you an e-mail to let you know if you are one of the first five or not. There will only be 4 riddles during the entire contest.
Note: I’ll be posting a score tally per week to update you guys about the current standings.

Juggler your prizes rock btw. You know I visited the blog that you posted on the “Mike Smith scammer” post, never knew that it had lots of readers so I think the reason why Mike Smith replies there and not to e-mails is he wants to save his ass!
Yuhu: Yes, I suppose he’s replying there to save himself from the embarrassment and everything.
Thanks for the compliment regarding the prizes man. Hope you can invite more people to participate!
I’m joining the contest! And also, I have subscribed via email. Great contest.

Hey…I’m joining the contest…a little late but here I am.
I signed up for your RSS feed by email and in my public feeds list at BlogLines. BlogLines seems to get posts quicker than FeedBurner by email. I made a post about the contest here: (it won’t show up till tomorrow though because I’ve been writing like a maniac, I clicked the links to make sure they work so you should see referral links in your stats)

BTW: First time on this blog. Can you tell me how to get the “Recommended!”, “Latest News”, etc menu system across the top of your content? Is it a plugin? Thanks
Keith James Lock: Thanks for the post man. I got the tab menu coded.
-EDIT- I can’t seem to find the post on your blog…
Hi Juggler…sorry, it is set to post this evening. I went on a writing frenzy and had to post date a couple. I’ll come back here when it goes live which is probably what I should have done anyways.
I like the tab menu…I’ve seen it elsewhere but yours is themed a lot nicer. Now, I gotta have one

Hey, I’ve joined the contest!
Hey , I’ve subscribed to the feeds via e-mail
Hey, I’ve Comment.
Hey I bloggged about it here http://www.techmantra.info/2008/03/19/tw3o-summer-blogging-contest/
And I am ready for riddle now.
Are you counting ? lol
BTW is this a random draw or the person with most point wins ?
Meethere: Yep, I’m counting. You currently have 82 points right now. I just published the 3rd riddle a couple of hours a while ago and I only received 4 correct answers. There’s room for 1 more!
Wow Meethere is such a tough competitor. I need to concentrate to win!
You gonna lose Yuhu, better try other contests. Poor fella.
@Meethere
We’ll see about that pal. Guess it’s a comment competition from hereon! Looks like things are heating up — I can surely feel the summer heat. Thank you for this great contest, Juggler.
Heh, good luck guys. Things sure are heating up! May this contest make your summer a better one. Heh.
Well, catch ya later guys. I’m gonna have my dinner in a few minutes then I’m going to (hopefully) review for my exams. I’ve been procrastinating for like 9 hours now… Ack!
@yuhu.. Not a comment competition, its a blogging contest. So I suggest you not to make comments. lol
@Juggler - best of luck with your exam. why hopefully :p. After 9 hrs, be ready to approve 1k comments from me. lol

Any more riddles coming up ?
OR better publish the stats.
Also can I know my points ?
Meethere: The last riddle will be published on Tuesday.
You currently have *opens the XLS file* 123 points. Good luck!
Standings as of 21 March 2008 (18:02 GMT+8)

5th - Mitch
Ah nice stats there.
And nice to see my name in that list.
Thanks.
And what’s this *opens the XLS file*
I store the scores in an Excel file.
Hi, this is Louis entering the contest. Here’s my post:
http://www.homebiz.bukiki.com/one-time-contest-various-prizes-from-tw3ocom/
And I’ve subscribed also using the same email to comment.
BTW, are all the riddles already have 5 correct answers each?
I guess I’ll just wait for the last riddle..
Good luck everyone!
Thanks Louis Liem. That’s 76 points for you. All the riddles have 5 correct answers each, so yeah, you have to wait for the last one.
Juggler, you should have some thread comment and other comments plugin to quote somebody’s plugin.
And hope you are counting my points correctly without mistake Do you take bribes.? 
-
Meethere: I don’t want to install the threaded comments plugin since it ruins the design.
I’m counting correctly, but I don’t take bribes, sorry. 
Not threaded comment plugin.
I dont know the name, but the plugin which allows to “reply this comment” - hope you got it.
Meethere: Yeah, I think that’s Brian’s Threaded Comments.
Yeh, thats it. so how does that destroy the design?, looks well, take a look at johnchow.
Meethere: It changes the comment boxes. Apparently I don’t know how to customize the plug-in code, so yeah. Nevermind having threaded comments.
Watch out, looks like I am creeping up the ladder here!! LQQK!
Good luck to all! Thanks for the update Juggler!
Oooh, more competition! It’s getting tougher and tougher as we near the contest end date! I’ve got to show my real powers! Hyaaaah!
danandmarsh: No problem.
Good luck to ya guys.
Yuhu: C’mon, show what you’ve got, tiger!
This is the 2nd time to join the contest… Hope I will win..:D
Thanks for joining! Good luck dude. As Yuhu said, the competition’s getting tougher and tougher.
Ops! Looks like I’m late..do you have any plans of running another contest after this? I will surely join.
Yeah, I’m actually thinking of launching another contest right after this. Well, not really “right after” as in immediately after this contest ends, but you get the idea. It would probably be a much easier contest, and there will be only one winner - a raffle contest perhaps.
Dudes, watch out for it. (Might post about it after the exams, or on the first week of April) The prize would most likely be cash, something like $200 or more.
Jug, I observed that due to prize declared for first three point toppers, I am seeing lot of no-meaning conversation going on. I just read your rules carefully, and as every comment is earning 1 point, I think people are just trying to stretch the conversation. Do you think so? It’s just my two cents.
Life is Colourful: Yep, that’s why I deleted some comments. More than 10 were deleted as I was moderating a while ago.
I hate it because I found such contest that is almost going to end. I hope I can make it. I’ve subscribed to the feeds via e-mail!

…to increase my points…
Pweng Bee “Thank you very much. Well, can I make another post about this on my other blogs? if that’s okay…
…to increase my points…” - I think it is not mentioned in the above rules. So you should not.

Meethere,
The contest details just said that…
“Spreading the heat will earn you 20 points. You don’t run around the town holding your wireless heater, you tell the people around you about The WWW Observer and this summer contest! Just publish a post about TW3O and this contest and you’ll get 20 points. Sounds easy, huh?
”
… there is nothing mentioned about not allowing to post on other blogs. It only said to spread the heat. So? I am spreading the heat, right?
Pweng Bee: You may post on another blog, but the blogs’ content must be different.

Hello. Just made a post on my other blog. How many points do I have now?
Pweng Bee: You now have 106 points (haven’t counted the riddles yet, so you have more points if you have been one of the first 5 you answered the riddles).
Hey! I have stumbled this post today. Does this count?
Pweng Bee: Nope, stumbling doesn’t count.
oh. okay. ill just make another post then.
Juggler, I just answered the last riddle for this contest. I hope I made it to the first 5 who answered the riddle correctly.

Yey! How many points now Juggler? Heheheh… I’ll make another one later.
I won’t be accepting any more blog posts as the contest will end on March 31.
Is that so? Why? Oh, you mean you are going to announce the winner on March 31? Okay, no more posts then. How many points do I have now? Thanks!
I just wanna check. I think I have 133 points already, not including this. Just let me know if I miscalculated.
I can’t wait who wins!
