teehee! I have created a monster!! Today I put the code together that does the choosing for the upcoming contest that will be run on ALL CommentLuv enabled blogs (T&C apply).
Here’s a hint of how it’s going to go…
Any blog with the latest version of CommentLuv can register to take part. The prize goes to one of your readers! When a commentluv.com registered member comments on one of the blogs that has registered to take part then they have a chance that instead of their last blog post coming back, a winning notification will be in its place. Kind of like Willy Wonka’s golden ticket 
As long as that comment gets submitted and approved (more details about how do deal with spam in the future) then the user can click their notification link and claim their prize.
There will be many many prizes, over $1000 dollars worth of cash prizes and gadgets like iPod speakers, noise reducing headphones from Vmoda, flash memory cards and more.
The purpose of the contest will be 4 fold…
- Encourage blog owners to have the latest version of CommentLuv working and set with their CommentLuv.com member ID
- Encourage commenters to register at CommentLuv.com and validate their URL and add some information to their profile
- Promote my new ebay shop (that’s where the gadgets come from!)
- Put the $350 WPMU contest prize money back to the folks who helped me win it and giving CommentLuv enabled blogs the chance to run a contest with great prizes for their readers at no cost to themselves (well, a post about you being in the list of blogs participating and how your readers can qualify by registering their URL with CommentLuv.com and entering a profile description would help!)
OK, so now you know something is coming… I still have to do these things before we can go ahead..
Code the registration page for blog owners.
Code the prize claim form.
Write up the rules and how-to’s
Write all the prize descriptions and upload images.
All people have to do to be in with a chance of winning is comment on the posts of CommentLuv enabled participants. This should really encourage the visitors of all CommentLuv blogs to get out there and comment some more! (spammers will be banned!)
Let me know what you think!..
stay tuned!!

This is a great idea! I am stoked but I have a question. Do the blog’s that are registered @ CommentLuv.com have to do anything special to participate?

I registered and am ready to write my blog post but figured I’d ask first. Is it too early to do the blog post part of the requirement?
