OK, I told you I was having another giveaway that I thought you were going to enjoy…and here it is.
Y’all have stuck with me through so much. You’ve stuck with me through different phases of my blog, through moving from blogger to self-hosted WordPress and then again to my new {permanent} home, MamaBytes (help me decide-should I say MamaBytes or Mama Bytes?!). I want to reward you somehow. Since I don’t have each and everyone’s address to send you thank you notes, cookies…whatever your reward of choice I want to give you money.
Unfortunately I can’t give each of you money. Therefore I’m going to have a giveaway and one person will win money…in the form of a giftcard to their store of choice. Some of you like Amazon.com, iTunes, Best Buy, Walmart, Target-and some will have other ideas-maybe Bath & Body Works, an office store–name your choice!
I’m giving 1 winner a $25 gift card to their choice of store (providing it’s a reputable place that I can either go get a giftcard from or buy online securely. This giveaway is not sponsored by anyone-it’s just my way of thanking you for being my virtual buds.
Here’s how you can enter:
- Tell me if you think I should say MamaBytes (one “word”) or Mama Bytes (two words) (1 entry)
- Tweet about this giveaway. You can use the following if you like. “@mamabytes is giving away money! http://bit.ly/GiveMoney” or “Gift Card of YOUR choice from @mamabytes here: http://bit.ly/GiveMoney” or “$25 Gift card to YOUR choice of store from @mamabytes http://bit.ly/GiveMoney” (without the quote marks of course!) You may tweet up to 3 times per day (not back to back) for 1 entry each. Come back and tell me you tweeted & leave the link.
- Write a blog post about this giveaway. Come back and tell me you did and leave the link! (5 entries)
- “Like” my blog on Facebook. (2 entries)
- Follow my blog publicly via the Google Friend Connect widget over there on the right. If you’re already following-let me know! (2 entries)
- Follow my feed-either by e-mail or by clicking the little RSS feed symbol over there and subscribing that way. If you were subscribed prior to July 10th you must re-subscribe. The feed has changed and the old feed will be cut off shortly. Please update your reader. I’m watching the numbers on the new feed and if people are not subscribing to the new feed (and claiming to be subscribed) I will remove this method of entry! (5 entries)
- Grab my little button over there. Put it somewhere visible on your blog. (2 entries)
- “Share” this on facebook using my little button down there. (1 entry)
- Leave a comment on another post (A NEW COMMENT-and it has to be an actual comment-not just “Here’s a comment” or similar) and then tell me which post you left it on. (2 entries)
- Tell me what store you’ll choose if chosen. (1 entry)
Be sure to leave a separate comment for each entry. If you do something that counts as 2 entries leave 2 comments! If you do all of these things leave the corresponding number of comments for each entry!!! I will not remind people that they didn’t use all their entries!! There is no need to enter your e-mail as I can see the one you enter in the e-mail field for your comment (but don’t worry-no one else sees it!)
I will draw a random winner for the giveaway sometime between 10 pm and midnight on August 9th, 2010. Entries will be accepted until 9:59 pm that night. I will e-mail the winner and they have 48 hours to let me know their store of choice. If they do not respond within 48 hours I will draw a new winner.

MamaBytes (one word) Seeing it as two words MAMA BYTES makes me wanna say Bites/bytes WHAT?
Also, it makes me think of “YOU BITE!” “MAMA BITES/BYTES” .
SAY WHAT?
Do you know what I’m saying? I hope so because half of the time I don’t even know.
K, I’m done . . .

I say one word: MamaBytes. Like Gigabytes. Otherwise, I agree, it sounds like Mama Bites (as in she sucks…or is bad).

Why the hostility? I haven’t said anything about your tweets, the part about back to back has been in there since I put the post up. It is possible to see times when I view your timeline though. If you have a problem feel free to email me using the “contact me” button at the top.

Hi, what a neat giveaway!
I think you should do MamaBytes as one word. So that is looks more like Gigabytes.
I “liked” you on facebook!
