Comment Contest Still On–C’mon In!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Whoever posts the 4,000th comment on this blog will win a copy of one of my Bell Mountain books (your choice of eight, although I’m running kind of low on No. 1, Bell Mountain). I’ll even sign it, if you ask me to.

The rules are simple. Disqualified will be any comments containing the f-bomb, personal abuse of me or of another reader, sophomoric comments that I choose not to inflict upon the reader, or base attempts to use my blog for free advertising.

Anything else goes.

To post a comment, all you have to do is scroll down to the bottom of the article you’re reading, and, in the fine print below, click “Leave a Reply.” Then you’re in business.

As of today there are about 150 comments to go–so hop in, join the fun.

P.S.–The reason this blog was created was to try to sell my books, and not a lot of that has happened yet. So please consider it! The Bell Mountain books make great Christmas presents. But don’t take my word for it–read the Customer Reviews on amazon.com.

I apologize for the tacky commercial announcement, but I’m the only advertising I’ve got.

Attention, Readers: New Comment Contest

These girls would be even happier if they entered my comment contest…

In keeping with this festive season of the year (I’ve always wanted to say that!), I am opening another comment contest for readers of this blog.

Whoever sends in comment No. 4,000 will receive one of my books, free–your choice of title.

Not eligible will be ads disguised as comments, using my page as free advertising space–shame on them!–or comments personally abusive to me or any reader, comments containing the f-bomb or any other profanity, or stuff that’s just too inane to publish.

If you’re still in the dark about how to post a comment, just look at the fine print at the bottom of one of my posts and click “Leave a Reply.”

Tally-ho!

We Have a Comment Contest Winner!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Actually, we have two of them–a tie. No, I’m not going to say, “In that case, nobody wins.” Nope–I’ll send out two First Prizes. Come to think of it, there weren’t any second or third prizes. Anyhow, both comments are recorded as having come in at the same time, so that’s two winners. They will receive each a signed copy of one of my books, their choice of title.

Way down the road I’ll have another contest for Comment No. 4,000 (this was for 3,000). I hope it doesn’t take a whole year, this time.

Don’t be expecting really lavish prizes like mink stoles, or new cars, or rings of power. I need to sell a lot more books before I can move up into that neighborhood.

To everyone who posted comments–thank you, and keep ’em coming! 🙂

Comment Contest: 54 to Go, and Counting

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Only 54 more to go, and someone will win a signed copy of one of my books (your choice) as the prize for posting the 3,000th comment on this blog.

Not qualified are any sales pitches posing as comments (you know who you are), any message containing an f-bomb or any other profanity, blasphemy, or personal abuse of me or any other commenter.

I am not Reddit or the Los Angeles Times, so I have not banned Climate Change Denial Denial comments, however inane and wrong I know them to be. Actually, though, I can ban anything I want. But in most cases I let the comment slide.

If you want to win a book, but can’t decide which one, just click “Books” and look them over.

P.S.–Yes, there have been some problems posting comments here, which WordPress has been unable to rectify because the difficulty has a variety of causes. But some readers have told me that, after they were rebuffed once, the comment went up when they tried again, even though they did nothing different the second time. Go figure. It’s computer stuff, way beyond me.

(P.P.S–Don’t those little girls have amazingly infectious smiles?)

Comment Contest: Just 110 to Go…Let’s Hear It

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Whoever posts the 3,000th comment on this blog will win a signed copy of one of my books (your choice).

So far there are just a few readers who comment regularly while everybody else keeps mum.

To leave a comment, all you’ve got to do is scroll down to where it says “Leave a Reply” and click it, and you’re in business.

I don’t allow comments that include the f-bomb or other cuss words (come on, now–this blog is sponsored by a Christian ministry), a sales pitch for some product that has nothing to do with anything here, or remarks that are personally abusive to me or other commenters. Other than that, let ‘er rip.

Go, go, go!
