On this day three years ago, September 18, 2006, the first post went up on SouthernGospelBlog.com. And today, as a thank you, I am announcing a special third birthday contest.
How many comments do you think this blog has had in its first three years? (Precisely: How many approved—i.e., non-spam—comments have appeared as of the end of the contest, 8 PM EST on Monday, 9/21/09?)
The person with the closest guess will win a copy of the Amazing Grace DVD (the movie about William Wilberforce). Post your guess in the comments. Be sure you leave a valid email address in the email box so I can follow up with the winner.
It’s appropriate that this contest focuses on the comments, because it has been the support and encouragement you’ve given me there that has spurred me on to sustain the hectic pace of daily posts this long. Thank you!
