Win $250 and 1000 Entrecard Credits! (Contest is Over)
Yep, you read that right. I’m giving away $250 and 1000 Entrecard Credits. I have decided that it’s time to get more traffic here since I believe in what I do. So I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is. Hope you enjoy this contest and take full advantage of it. Make sure to read the guidelines and the information that follows carefully. I’ll make this short and sweet:
Entry Guidelines
- Pick a post (besides this one) from Saphrym.com and blog about it. The post can be positive, neutral, or even negative if you just don’t like me.
- Include this link:
<a href="http://saphrym.com/blog" title="Dieter">Saphrym</a>
(Copy and paste that code into your html code for your post exactly as is. The link should look like this: Saphrym) - Include a link to the actual post you are blogging about.
- Include a link to this contest post.
- Comment below and leave a link to your post making sure to provide a valid e-mail address.
That is all you have to do to enter. Feel free to be as creative as possible with your use of the 3 links required. On February 27th, 2008 a winner will be chosen randomly from those who have participated according to the entry guidelines. Why February 27th? It’s my daughter’s birthday and I want to make it a festive day for everyone. I will contact the winner by the e-mail address provided in the comment. They will receive 1000 Entrecard Credits and $250 through PayPal.
Considering this is a random draw, it’s never too late to enter. However, if you’re one of the first 100 entrants, and you win, I’ll throw in a permanent link to your site on my blogroll on the right.
Request:
If you do happen to like my blog, please mark it as a favorite on Technorati. I would never require that in a contest, so this is only a request and only if you like my blog.
NOTICE:
Please make sure the link from requirement #2 is done properly. I’ve noticed a lot of links that are to things like http://www.blogger.com/<a href=”http://saphrym.com/blog” title=”Dieter”>Saphrym</a>. Those will NOT qualify for this contest. If you have to do links another way, make sure they point to http://www.saphrym.com/blog, have a title of “Dieter”, and that the link text is “Saphrym”. If you copy and paste the link from #2 make sure you’re putting it into the CODE of the site and not the visual editor. Please don’t take this the wrong way, but $250 is a lot of money and it would be unfair of me to award it to someone who hasn’t met the requirements if someone else has.
Special Thanks:
- To Mike Huang from Bloggin-Ads.com for helping me get the links right. He’s got a great blog. He cares about other bloggers. That’s rare. If you haven’t gone there, please do so. And if you’re an Entrecard member, drop off your card. Also, thanks to his entry I realized that my name is very hard to find on this site. So I’ve made it easier to find along with extra contact information.
- To Contest Beat for mentioning this contest.
- To Laura Williams for mentioning this contest.
- To Z’s Dad for mentioning this contest.
(UPDATE: The winner was announced.)

Thanks!
JoLynn Braley’s last blog post..The Fit Shack Is One Year Old and Has a New Look!
@JoLynn - Sorry. No tutorials. Would be hard to do. Every card is different. I just use my 10+ years of experience with Photoshop and do my thing. It’s hard to explain. Maybe I’ll do a Camtasia video one day just to show examples.
The videos would be great Michael, I’m always looking for more Photoshop tips online. You know what, have you ever thought about creating a blog focused on Photoshop? Just a thought I had after you mentioned how long you’ve been using it. ![]()
JoLynn Braley’s last blog post..The Fit Shack Is One Year Old and Has a New Look!
@JoLynn - I might consider it. More likely, the posts would end up on this blog. I’m not one for separating it out like the “niche” bloggers do. This is a place for me to share with others, whether it’s knowledge, a joke, or whatever. ![]()
Gotcha, that’s cool, I’m up for soaking up any tips you want to pass along whether here or there.
I like to stumble great photoshop tips, too….actually, I probably spend too much time working on this stuff myself when it would be better that I outsource it - I’m learning a lot, though, and now I’m working on creating my Entrecard icon. Your post reminded me to get with it and start working on it. ![]()

Between 1950 and 1952, a bored weatherman, stationed north of Hudson
Bay, left a monument that neither government nor time can eradicate.
Using a bulldozer abandoned by the Air Force, he spent two years and
great effort pushing boulders into a single word.
It can be seen from 10,000 feet, silhouetted against the snow.
Government officials exchanged memos full of circumlocutions (no Latin
equivalent exists) but failed to word an appropriation bill for the
destruction of this cairn, that wouldn’t alert the press and embarrass
both Parliament and Party.
It stands today, a monument to human spirit. If life exists on other
planets, this may be the first message received from us.
– The Realist, November, 1964.
