Time for a quick update on the contest...

It has been a little over two weeks now and I have to admit I am a little disapointed in the turnout. So far, only 3 entries, which sets a really slow pace in hopes of reaching the 200 entries required for the drawing to occur.

First of all, I want to thank those who have contributed so far and those who have contacted me with words of support. Just the kind words are really uplifting and encouraging.

Second, I'll admit I have not put much effort into advertising the contest. My blog gets about ~100 reads per day and I was hoping that this was enough traffic to generate support on its own and hopfeully some viral word-of-mouth effect. This has obviously has not been the case. As I have said, and anyone who knows me would agree, I am not much for asking for help. And no, this contest is not some elaborate ploy so I purchase a new flatscreen TV. I dug myself a hole and now need to drag myself out of it.

I will look into ways of promoting the contest further this week. But I have to admit I am a little clueless as to how I can spread the word much on a close-to-zero budget. Feel free to share your suggestions.
