And the winner is!

Without further ado I’d like to announce the winner of A Blog about Nothing’s $50.00 blogging challenge. Actually I’m lying. In order to make this whole thing a little more interesting I thought I’d point out some of the entries that didn’t win and why.
- Antigrammar - Um, because that’s just scary
- A Frog to Kiss - The idea wasn’t original AND more importantly you can get some excellent header images custom made for you over at the DP forums
- Lost in Technology - Lacking in originality and I’m not a fan of pyramid “schemes” lol
- Rotus - While I appreciate the sarcastic wit it missed the technicality mark. That being “What would you spend it on to improve your BLOG?”
- Zybron - This was a pretty common entry/comment for this contest. Buy a domain name and move to a real self-host Word Press solution. Again not original
- Home Life - Didn’t follow the rules (no link back to the contest page). If you need a domain name you can definitely get one for far, far less than $35.00. Namecheap can provide you one for about $9.30 per year
Those are the ones I didn’t select. I hope none of you mind the back link I’ve provided and the fact that I told everyone why you didn’t win…
Who won? Steve O of Window on Life is the new owner of $50.00 for this post about using it for Youtube video posting. I will be attempting to contact Mr. “O” via email and/or his blogs contact information. Congratulations Steve! I realize $50.00 in the big scheme of things isn’t much but I’m looking forward to hearing how your idea works out!
In case anyone is wondering why Steve won it’s simply because his idea was not just original but pretty damn good if you ask me!
