Crazy for Comments Winners Announced
News and Updates at Site Sketch 101
I’m excited today to announce the winners of our Crazy for Comments Cash Giveaway.
This contest was a far greater success than I could have ever imagined. We started it off on the one month birthday of this site and ran the event for two weeks. During that time our comments grew from just over 200 comments to just below 800 comments. That’s an average of 40 comments per day. I’m very happy with that!
We had over 100 comments on the contest announcement itself!
We now have 6 prizes to give away to our loyal participants: $50, $25, $10, and 3 awards of $5. Congratulations to the following six winners!
- $50 – Olli from NetzJournal
- $25 – Brian from New Web Talk
- $10 – Arisu (No Website…yet.)
- $5 – Ruchi from Choosy Info
- $5 – Satkrit from ulltimatehp.blogspot.com
- $5 – Jeff B. from Gospel Light Baptist Church
If you are one of the winners, be sure to contact me right away to claim your prize. You can either email me directly at holas84(at)gmail.com or just leave a comment on this post.
Be sure to use the email that you used when you left the comment so that I will know that it is not somebody else trying to claim your prize for you!
You’ll need to let me know a PayPal address that I can send your money to or an address that I can mail it to.

Wow! So unlucky, if I knew the contest,I must win the prize. And will you launch another contest like this later?
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Hua Chen » I’ll be running another contest very soon so don’t worry too much about it. You’ll have another chance to win before you know it.
Hua Chen said:
Yeah, wish me to be a lucky dog then.
p.s. A question, there is not a reply bottom in your blog comment, how can I reply someone else’s comment?
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Hua Chen » I don’t have threaded comments set up here, but I recommend that you just start your comment with the person’s name that you are speaking to like I do on all of my comments. This let’s everyone know who you are replying to. At most blogs threaded comments only end up getting used by the blog author and I want everyone to interact with each other here so I’ve decided not to use them. I hope this help and I hope it explains why I have it set up this way.
Hua Chen said:
Nicholas Z. Cardot » Your analysis is right, just like this comment, right? Ha!
I am writing my blog’s program and it will show up on 8th this month(GMT+8), hoping you can come to have a look and give me some suggestions on my blog’s design, thanks!
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Hua Chen » You got it exactly right! I noticed that you are launching your site in a few more days. I’m looking forward to it and I’ll be glad to stop by and look at it when it’s up and running. I can’t wait to see it!
Hua Chen said:
Nicholas Z. Cardot »
I will notice you when it finished. You are welcome.
Extreme John said:
Wow I really was way off when I stereo-typed this blog.
The design is unreal and the site content is amazing, I added your blog to my Feedly feed reader and started flipping through and commenting on a few articles.
I honestly thought with the tremendous amount of comments here that the last thing you actually payed attention to would be comments and how many you get.
It’s nice to see a blog at this level still interact with their community. Makes me feel better about commenting too, haha.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Extreme John » One of my greatest joys about blogging is being able to connect with real people on a real level. I love being able to answer questions and talk to people one on one. I’ve learned that you can accomplish a lot more when you work with people one on one. I’ve heard a lot of colleges brag about having small class sizes where people can ask questions and learn at a greater detail.
I’m sorry you had me stereo-typed, but I’m glad that I was able to dispel it. I look forward to talking with you more in the future. Thanks!

Well done to all the winners, it’s great that you are getting CASH. Spend it wisely and go get something to spoil yourself with.
Seth W said:
I know this contest is over, but I am so surprised that I never heard about it. I am going to have to stay up on your blog with a subscription for sure.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Seth W –> I try to run some sort of a giveaway every month. They are so much fun and they really build the community. I highly recommend them.
Mukund said:
Yeah!! I accept with what Seth W said. Though the same contest is running now with much higher cash give away, I never knew one had already got over. This shows that your blog is more popular among the blogosphere!! Congrats to the past winners! I am trying to be one in the present contest!!
