Nice one. I began to thought your contests are bit too much into design.
Variety is good, will definitely participate in this one as well.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
We met (Wordpress and I) on a lonely day of 12th September 2007, when I was searching for a way to put online my school project. Till then, we are good friends:)
May 28th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
@WordPress Hosting: You’ll need to post it in your blog instead of the comment form.
May 29th, 2009 at 10:25 am

this contest gives everyone a thought of using the wordpress and how much they like or dislike it.
June 1st, 2009 at 10:17 am
another cool contest
Im surely gonna use WP for life time. goodluck to the participants 
June 1st, 2009 at 10:39 am
In 2005, I was on the hunt to find a better way to manage my portfolio and small client sites. I had tried various other solutions but none where quite like WordPress.
I never looked back and I am still developing using WP and was recently added to the Automattic Consultant List on the Automattic website.
Cheers and thanks for another awesome giveaway.

can i ask if the contest post and the entry needs to be on different post and on the same blog??can I enter multiple blogs with different blog post and topic??
June 4th, 2009 at 4:51 am

@ francis: Yes Francis. You may do so. Thanks for your participation.
June 4th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
An interesting contest. I don’t have much to post about at the moment, so I might join in. Cool.
June 4th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
This contest is fairly discriminatory to those who run comment-free websites. Guess I won’t be competing.
June 5th, 2009 at 12:10 am
Great prize, i will prepare the blog and join the contest. And tell another friends to join this event.
June 5th, 2009 at 12:13 am
@Pat: Would you reconsider to join if we remove the ‘comment’ condition?
June 5th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
maybe the comment condition can be removed since it can be a way to make the entry of the contestant invalid. People would not want to leave a comment to lessen the competition.Can you please remove that condition??it will be appreciated by bloggers who have still less traffic and readers..Thanks.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
I agree with the idea of removing the comment condition. If an article is well-written, it will attract comments. And some people will simply ask their friends to make a comment.
June 7th, 2009 at 3:15 am
I have written my story:
http://asnio.com/wordpress-story/
Good luck to everyone who has participated in this contest.
June 7th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
@loy, @francis: You guys rock. We’ve removed the comments condition. Good luck!
June 7th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
Comments were little slow on my post so now that requirement is gone I can submit earlier.

June 9th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
@Foress – WPWebHost
thanks for removing the comment requirement. more people will now be able to enter without thinking of the comments on their post.thanks again and I hope I win your contest.
