Chanya from Blogstruk won my homemade cornbread and a case of black-eyed peas from Amazon. Of course, she may want the $25 bucks instead, and if that proves to be the case, I promise that my feelings won’t be hurt. Really, they won’t. Seriously.
The number of entries to my contest was simply embarrassing, and I’ve decided to do much better promotion next time. Like this one. Oh my goodness. Would you like a stand mixer? All of those people do! Wow, that is how to do it, yall.
Of course, the question becomes, when you have a punitive PR of 0, what the point of having contests at all? Before, I did it to get links, and thus PR. Now I suppose I’ll have to do it for purely altruistic reasons, like reader appreciation! 
Because I do appreciate you guys, especially since you’ve put up with a spate of very frequent posting for a month! So let me think up something else and get my promo skills rockin’…
I’m sorry about your low participation:( The only reason I’m giving the standmixer away is because I won myself with that paid 2 blog company;) and I already have one!! Thanks for the entry/link love!

Congratulations to Chanya! Maybe I’ll enter next time you have a contest.
Looks like you did a good contest, Lori.

I’m sure you’ve been reading Darren’s recent posts about running contests. It will be better next time. The cow patty one had much better response for some reason…

Congratulations to Chanya, I can’t wait to see what she chooses. I think it was a good contest. Very original and it made me start craving cornbread.

Oh Sugar! I was really looking forward to some good ol southern grub. We don’t get a lot of corn bread or black eyed peas here in Ireland.
Guess I will have to wait for the next contest.

Michelle: Hurrah, I finally won one of your contests!
Okay, let’s see . . . corn bread and a case of black eyed peas vs. an Amazon gift card . . . what to choose, what to choose . . . well, if you don’t mind, I think I’ll go for the $25 Amazon gift card. I’d love to try your corn bread and I actually like black-eyed peas but I’m not sure I could go through a whole case.
I’ll email you the email account to send it to.
Again, Hurrah!
Hey Michelle your feed count says you have 2009 readers. You might need to get a screen shot of that.
