Well, despite all the challenges of the past week, I survived. But more importantly, I’ve gathered all the entries for the first ever Blogging Startup contest and randomly selected a winner. But first, here are the numbers from the blogging contest:Man Kissing Trophy

35 - Number of individuals who entered the blogging contest

223 - Number of entries earned by the 35 individuals

106% - Percent of increase in blog subscribers

68% - Percent of increase in average daily visitors

The most contest entries were earned by Shari Voigt of ExpressMarketingMemo.com, Louis Liem of Bukiki.com, IndoContest.com, and L.A. at LordArtWorks.com. And the winner of the free blog from Blogging Startup is…

L.A. from LordArtWorks.com!

L.A. will receive assistance with starting a new blog with free domain name, free hosting, advertising on a Coryan Network blog and lots of other promotion. My goal is the make his new blog launch an immediate success! So L.A., let’s get started!

Congrats to L.A!

Jeff…thanks for visiting AND introducing me to Jeff Gordon Theater!

Louis, you and Shari definitely had the best odds for winning with all your entries. But the drawing was random (random.org) and entry number 146 took the prize. But I’ll tell you what…you come by some time and I’ll wash your car! How’s that?

Seriously, thank you everyone who entered the contest!

Congratulations to the big winner. In actuality, we were all winners if this spurred us on towards our goal of starting up a blog. I consider myself very fortunate to have found this site and the encouragement that has come my way. Thanks, Blogging Startup.

Congrats to L.A.!

And Jim, thanks for the contest. It was fun and I’m thinking about hosting a contest, myself.

Nancy - Thanks. But have we warned you how addictive this blogging thing is?

Shari - Thanks for working so hard to get in those entries. I only wish I had more prizes to give away. :)

Do I need to email someone about this?

Again Thank You!
