I have to admit that I did not find this website on my own – but hey that didn’t stop Christopher Columbs (or P Diddy for that matter). I got the idea from my lovely lady friend who wrote about it on her blog. But first a little background:

I love knowledge (haha who doesn’t) and I collect blogs of knowledgeable people like it’s my job – which would be a lot better than my day job. Anyway I usually just subscribed to the blogs via email so I can have all of them conveniently delivered to my inbox so I can check them all at one place … now this sounds good on paper but when you’re subscribed to 20 blogs – all coming to your email – it sort of makes checking email a trip through the jungle … bad metaphor maybe it’s more like a kid in a candy store … Whatever point being I find an interesting article and end up all over the internet instead of checking my email like I originally wanted to do. Like a super hero here comes

Bloglovin

This is awesome for me because for one I no longer have millions of emails coming into my inbox and for two I can still check all of my blogs in one place. Super sweet. You should give bloglovin a try! Don’t forget to follow my blog on bloglovin as well!!

The Short and Dirty Version …

Subscribe to this Blog Via Email … Make Value Added Comments … Win Free Stuff

Why?

This Blog is here for you. Yes I enjoy writing about technology and it serves as a sort of mental therapy/journal of my thoughts but that’s beside the point. The main goal of this blog is to better it’s readers … And what better way than giving you free stuff.

It’s easy.

Throughout the life of this Blog I will be speaking to companies that have things they want you to have. Some of those things will be given away monthly to the readers of this blog. The kicker is the more subscribers there are the better the gifts will get. Hopefully I can eventually even give out an LCD TV!!

How to get involved?

First things first in order to be a part of this Monthly giveaway you must be subscribed to this blog. You can do this by:

1. Going to the “This Blog Gives Back” Section on the sidebar to the right.
2. Enter your email address and follow the instructions in the window that pops up.
3. A confirmation email will be sent to your email address and click the link and you are ready to WIN!!
4. By subscribing you will get email notifications every time this Blog publishes a New Article

This Blog is meant to be a two way conversation not a lecture so the second part to qualify for free stuff is you  must submit at least 1 value added comment each month to win. I know I know … “Jeremy comments are soooo hard to think of” … I think it’s a fair deal.

By value added I mean comments can’t say “Nice Post” to qualify. Any other original thought counts though. The best part about this is you get one entry for every comment you make!

Spread the Word!

Don’t be greedy. You know your friends want to win free stuff too … And if you are greedy (it’s ok who doesn’t want free AWESOME stuff) think of it this way … The more people that subscribe to this blog the better the prizes get. Also get inside scoops by becoming a fan on our facebook page.

So to summarize:

1. Sign Up to this Blog
2. Get Free Stuff

It’s as easy as 1, 2 …. No 3 Needed. I’ll start the contest TODAY leave comments about what free stuff you would want!

There are many different platforms that people can use to blog. A few famous ones are wordpress and blogger. I personally use wordpress and I am getting acquainted with all of it’s many awesome features. One feature that many may know about already (but I missed) is the publish feature which allows you to control when you’re article is published. For instance I can write an article on Monday and have wordpress publish it on Thursday. This not only allows you to have god-like control over when your blogs are published it also allows you to manage your time better by creating multiple blog entries at one time. In order to utilize this feature you simply:

• View the Publish area to the right of the post you are creating.
• Click Edit beside Publish

• Select the date and time you wish the post to be posted.

• Select Ok and then Publish.

Have fun publishing documents whenever you want them published!
