I tried to sign up for the book the other day but my pc was playing up and it didn’t work. Today it did! Karma at work I think;D I was obviously meant to enter THIS contest.
I’ve put the address of the new version of my site but I don’t think it’s live yet (I’m new to self-hosting and Wordpress). Will get hubby to look at it later and then hopefully it’ll be up and running. However the old version is still up at http://healthfyfrugalhome.blogspot.com
Great contest.

I use Thesis and I think that it is a wonderful prize for the lucky winner. Hosting is a good idea too, but whoever wins the hosting should go and buy Thesis.

Is this site powered by Thesis? (just curious) By the way, it’s lovely.

Unfortunately it is not a free plugin. You can use it for affiliate links and also links to other posts – so it increases your internal link love. It’s easy to set-up and you can limit the number of links within each post. Here’s a video of me reviewing the plugin: http://www.webuildyourblog.com/873/monetize-blog-affiliate-marketing-wordpress-plugin/

This is a great opportunity — I’d love to have the Thesis theme to use on a new WordPress blog. The other prizes would also come in handy. Downloaded your eBook (plan to read it!) and tweeted the contest (under ’sbanow’).

Hi Andrew,
Alright, I’m in your contest. Had to sign up for Digg again – don’t know why I have so much trouble getting into that site. Will blog about the contest soon. Just put together that you are the Andrew that Debbie recommended to help with my technology issues. I need help moving my comments from the side to underneath the blog post. My commluv seems to have disappeared(?) even though the plug-in says activated. Maybe I should just use a different theme which, of course, brings me to your contest! haha!
