Comment Contest Update and Peeve Week
Comment Contest Updated
After discussing with several readers of this blog, the comment contest rules have been updated. The contest will end when 350 comments have been reached rather than 500, which significantly increases the odds. Comments no longer have a word limit. Trackbacks must be 100 words rather than 200.
Find out the rules and/or details at: The Great Comment Giveaway.
Peeve Week
Next week is Peeve Week at this blog. I’ve had several requests from my readers to write about certain topics that deal with pet peeves. To satisfy my readers’ demands, I will write five posts that deal with personal peeves of mine.
I’d like several of you to join in, however. Each day I will have a certain theme and I encourage you to write your own post about it. Please see the details below.
Here are the themes for Peeve Week:
- Monday - Racism and/or discrimination.
Being that Monday is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, I think it is appropriate to lay out the pet peeves of certain areas around racism and/or discrimination. An example could be how women are treated at car dealerships.
- Tuesday - Cellphones.
Do I need an explanation for this one?
- Wednesday - Technology and gadgets.
Peeves that deal with technology and gadgetry might consist of rants against a technology company, product, or gadget that everybody seems to use.
- Thursday - Retail.
Example peeves could be parking lot clashes, long checkout times, cashiers, and more.
- Friday - Money.
Example peeves could be about credit card companies, spouses, and more.
If you would like to contribute to Peeve Week, please write a post for any given topic. You can write for multiple days in separate posts if you like. Once completed, you can either trackback my Peeve Week entry, or e-mail me at ron@ronalfy.com with your post. If you choose to e-mail me the post, I will post it on the day of the Peeve Week topic it pertains to.
Here are some incentives for participating in Peeve Week. Comments to any Peeve Week post are worth one entry into the comment contest. Trackbacks are worth five entries. If you decide to write a post and e-mail it to me, I will include a link back to your website of choice and also give you five entries into the comment contest.
