<p><strong>Blog Commenting Contest (1)</strong></p>

<p><strong>Contest ends on 29th April</strong>. 29th April is the last day to post as many comments as possible.</p>
<p>There will be only one winner (so only one prize) as I don&#8217;t have any sponsors yet for a contest.</p>
<p><strong>Prize:</strong></p>
<p>A 125&#215;125 banner ad for 30 days (.jpg / .png)</p>
<p><strong>Terms &amp; Conditions:</strong></p>
<p>1. Comments must be informational and useful, not spam.<br />
2. Gambling sites, porn sites, phishing sites are not allowed.<br />
3. Do not drop link in the body of the comment. Any link found in the body of the comment will be removed.<br />
4. I reserve the right to remove any comments or sites that are considered spam or non-informational.<br />
5. Winner will be announced on 1st May 2011.<br />
6. Winner will be notified by email so please provide a valid email address.<br />
7. Winner will have to provide the 125&#215;125 image file.<br />
8. Decision is final.</p>
<p>If this contest is a success, there shall be more contests coming up in the future with even more attractive prizes.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>p/s: if you would like to be a sponsor, do let me know.</p>
