Hello there, wonderful readers!  Since the New Year, I have really been pondering how best to show my appreciation to all of the terrific readers that regularly visit my blog.  Every day, I am blessed with a ton of interesting and often humorous comments to read, which keep me smiling and laughing throughout the day!

It's been my experience that a lot of blog readers are bloggers themselves, and so I thought of a way to truly show how thankful I am to those readers out there who take a large amount of their time to enter the contests on my blog, read my product reviews and leave comments for me whenever I get the rare chance to write a personal post or two.  It's called the Top Monthly Commentator Contest!  Whoever leaves the most comments on my blog for that month, will automatically be awarded ONE FREE MONTH OF AD SPACE in the "Advertise Here!" section on my sidebar.

Well, how the heck am I going to keep up with all those comments?  Thank goodness for those brainy web coders out there, for I have a section all set up at the very bottom of my blog entitled, "Top Monthly Commentators!"  This section automatically shows the gravatars of my top 15 monthly commentators so far, along with the link they chose to leave in the "Website:" portion of the comments area.  Don't have a link listed or don't like your gravatar?  Feel free to insert a link to either your blog, your Twitter page or your Facebook page in the website field when you leave a comment on my blog.  Also, you can always get a gravatar or change your current one by clicking here.  Remember, I'm a DO FOLLOW blog, so all of the comments you leave here will help provide more links back to your own site.

This contest will be running every month and is already well underway!  Want to see who the top 15 commentators currently are?  Just scroll down to the bottom of my blog and check them out!  Beginning February 1st, I will email the winner for a button they'd like me to use as well as a link to one of their social sites.  Since this is a brand new type of contest for my blog, I am really curious to see what you think and provide me with any comments or feedback you're willing to share.  Remember, leaving a comment here just might make you the Top Monthly Commentator!  :)

*** Also, just to make sure that everyone has a chance to get a little exposure from this contest, the same person will only be able to win once every three months.  GOOD LUCK TO ALL! ***
