I spent the entire day (minus a 2 hour trip to the haberdashery <- don’t ask!) coding the final pages and scripts for the contest. I have the prizes up and descriptions entered. I was originally going to do 1 gadget per day for a whole month but I neglected to work in how much it would be to post them all!
I’ve had to drop it down to 2 weeks worth of prizes and threw in some cash prizes too. It will work with all sites that registered for the contest (including blogger and typepad). Prizes will be awarded to the commenters on those sites depending on a complex algorithm worked out by monkeys. Commenters need only to register their url at commentluv.com and enter a profile description to qualify and then they can go off and comment on all the registered sites and maybe one of their last blog posts will come back as a winning notification.
it will look something like this…

The heart box will show the details of the winner if it gets won.
I’ll get some instructions up today and set it to publish at midnight on commentluv.com.
keep an eye out!

Being registered on CL.com is being registered for the contest, right? There isn’t a separate registration?
Also, does the “bio” section of the profile have to be filled out?

Dennis: You need to register for the contest on the contest registration page and part of the requirements are to have your bio entered so answers are no, yes there is and yes it does
it’s all in the contest instructions… good luck!
#508.11.08 11:44 pm
OK I guess the contest registration page confused me. When I clicked on it, there was my big ‘ol logo staring at me…I guess I was already entered. LOL
I’ll be posting about the contest in a couple days…I believe all else is done.

an easy way to tell if everything is ok is by checking your pull down box when you comment, there will be some extras there telling you if you qualified
#709.11.08 12:45 am
Nothing yet, but I haven’t posted yet….when we do the post, should we write you about it?

I love how Witchypoo’s prize shows up on the pull down Andy. That script is SWEET!!!!!!!! Great job, and congrats witchypoo!
#1209.11.08 2:16 am
Why isn’t my link showing up
#1309.11.08 2:51 am
So you automatically know when someone has posted? I’m asking because that seems to be the only thing I haven’t done to “register”
#1409.11.08 11:40 am
witchypoo: you jammy cow! (uk speak for lucky lady
)
it took a long time because a thing on the server was using too much resources and it brought the server to it’s knees. It should be fine again now.
Julie: see above about the server
Dennis: you need to visit the contest page and register your site to take part before your site can be one of the ones where people can comment and win. You yourself are eligible to win a prize by commenting here and the other contest blogs because you are a commentluv subscriber with profile.

My first husband was a Brit and called me jammy all the time. He didn’t say cow, Canucks don’t much care for that part. Calling someone hereabouts a cow means that they are fat. Wait. I am. I’m a jammy cow. Thanks, Andy!
witchypoo´s last blog post..Best contest Ever
#1609.11.08 2:00 pm
hah you are too funny! I didn’t mean fat, oh dear, I meant jammy git! please don’t tell me that ‘git’ means a pregnant cow1 >8-D
well done anyway, hope you got your claim email from the system!
#1709.11.08 6:22 pm
How do you enabling “Heart” … I can’t find the way to set the ‘heart”
And because my CommentLuv is blogger version, I cant set anything.
so please wont you set this for me?

hamdi: no last post = no prize chance!
Andy: nice to see you again, I’m happy that you are getting more traffic from commentluv
Spookygirl: well done on getting it working, it’s not showing you as a member because your links are pointing to your feedburner items and not direct to your site. go to feedburner and switch of redirects
#2510.11.08 7:34 pm
I think I did that… I followed the instructions I found, but it still doesn’t show

So its completley at random that people could win a prize? So long as they are registered on commentluv? Thats pretty cool – I did sign up my site for the competition as well; at least I hope its still signed up, lol!

Hi Andy,
My heart is not showing my profile. Instead it says, “This site is not a member of commentluv.com”.
Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry for some many comments.
The feed items are now pointing to the permalinks – but these comment posts still include the feedburner redirected links. Will they be automatically updated? Is there anything else I need to do now?

Great idea! Can you be a little clearer on the Contest page as to what the prizes are? Right now it looks like the prize is 10% off an eBay purchase.
Thanks for running the contest!

Alec: your old links will stay the same, they are hard coded into the comment
Jeff: I added a message to say users need to be logged in to view the prizes
Mitch: keep trying!
Alec: my pleasure
#3611.11.08 7:25 pm
Thanks, Andy. I see the new “logged in” message, and I am logged in, but I still don’t see a prize list (Firefox 2.0 and IE6, if it matters).
Also, the “Please Wait for the page to load” bit never goes away on any contest page, for me. Is it just me?
Jeff´s last blog post..Will you win?
#3711.11.08 9:41 pm
my guess is that you have javascript disabled, everything for the contest stuff is done using ajax which nees javascript. do you have an adblock or noscript plugin running?
#3811.11.08 10:57 pm
Nope. And it’s consistent across two browsers and two computers. Weird.
Javascript is running freely on both.
Hmm… I noticed on the IE6 browser there’s a JS error message….
Line 97, Char 102: ‘nodeName’ is null or not an object
That’s on ‘/contest/”
Firefox’s Error Console is telling me there’s a syntax error on Line 2. (Doctype)
Weird.

Nice contest!!
I’m using CommentLuv since long time ago(3 months ago xD), that’s because I star with wordpress 3 months agor, and i love it, i usually made my one CMS, but wordpress developers are better than me
I just hope to win something… one day… maybe…
I Luv CommentLuv xD
