Contest Update

Despite vigorous testing, some of you found some variables I apparently didn’t test.

The problem is for those of you who completely the survey from within your RSS reader. The form didn’t do it’s neat auto-expand trick, so I wasn’t able to ask all of the questions I wanted, but most importantly I have no way to contact you if you win.

Unfortunately, the only way to let you know is via RSS which means another post.

Therefore, there is a slight extension to the contest.

Since those of you in the United States (sorry GB) have a holiday this weekend, entries will be accepted through the 5th with a winner announced the 6th.

I sincerely apologize for the delay.

If you haven’t yet, please take the survey so we can provide you with the information you need to help your business.
