In an effort to continue accelerating the growth of this website, I’ve decided to give away 3 prizes to 5 random winners here at Site Sketch 101: A one-year membership at Elegant Themes, a copy of Darren Rowse’s Problogger: The Book, and $15 cold, hard cash! If you’re one of the five winners then you get to choose which one you want!

All you have to do in order to get in on this great giveaway is to subscribe to our site’s updates via email. Simply click on the ‘email’ link at the top of Site Sketch 101 and enter your email address. A confirmation email will immediately be sent to you and in order to qualify for this giveaway you must click on the confirmation link inside of that email.

Simply put, subscribe to our updates by email and you could win a great prize!

Note: You must click the confirmation link in the email that we send to you in order to qualify!

7 days from today, on August 18, 2009, at 11:59 PM this contest will end. I will then randomly select five subscribers to each receive one of these three prizes! You could very easily be a winner so don’t miss out on this great opportunity!

    Are the email updates different then what I receive in the RSS feed?

      Nicholas Z. Cardot said:

      Bruce » They are the same. It’s just a different way to receive them. I can’t track who is or is not subscribed to the RSS but I can track the emails that are subscribed so when I do a contest I can only include the Email updates in the contest. I believe that the more ways that we can get our content to our readers the more effective we can be. I hope that answers your questions and answers why I am running the contest like this.
