Thanksgiving Blog Decorating Contest and PRIZES

Due to the popularity of the last contest,   I'm starting another one. The theme is Fall/Thanksgiving. The rules from last time apply but many people who signed up didn't  follow the rules so I'm listing them again.
  1. Follow my blog, that way I can keep up to date with who is entering.
  2. Use only what Blogger provides. No outside images but XML and HTML is welcome!
  3. You must include a post about Thanksgiving, ( Already there for most)
  4. Comment on this post, and include everything listed below: 
  •  Your Blog Name, it is required because I'll know what to call it.
  • Your  Blog URL, (EXAMPLE: http://samplercheck.blogspot.com/)
  • What  template you used, Ethreal, Picture Window,etc..
  • What template editor, default is the new one
  • Your first name, and full screen name
  • Whether or not you want a hint*
    6. Put a post about my blog on your blog, doesn't need to be long, just  add a link, (rainsremarkable.blogspot.com)
   7. Seven is a lucky numbers so have seven things on it ready to impress me, (widgets,gadgets,animation,)

*P.S. I can help you decorate it, go to   http://samplercheck.blogspot.com/, its my trial and error blog. I use it to  try my templates and backgrounds. I'll take screen snapshots, and post them there. If you want  one of those templates, just comment on that post and tell me. * : - )



        I am aware that you must be wondering what's in this for you. I mean what happens if you  win.
There are three prizes, for first second and third.  The grand prize is a total blog makeover, that includes four of the following:

  • A sliding background - one of the  backgrounds on http://www.samplercheck.blogspot.com/, which I'll show/tell you how to get.
  •  A signature after every post, it will be your own and it looks great! I'm going to get one for myself!
  • A customized Favicon- that's  the tiny 16 pixel image next to the place where you type your URL. My favicon is still the default blogger one, but I'm going to pick an image very soon!
  • Post dividers,  a vertical or horizontal decorative line between each post.
  • Randomize/Back to Top Button- a button with twisted arrows that directs readers to random posts,/ a button that takes a reader to the top of the page.
  • Reactions to your post, Like at the bottom of this one.
  • A Linkwithin gadget that links to other posts in your archive.
  • 3 widgets of your choice
