I’d love to join this and get some hosting for myself.
I just want to know though…
How long will the winner get a webhosting package for, and will it allow someone with a WordPress.com blog to transfer everything blogged so far?
Victor,
The WebHosting package will be good for a year. You can transfer your WordPress.com blog but you’d have to buy a domain and install WordPress.
Thanks for the quick reply on my blog post.
I tried to put the code you placed above on my post using the HTML editor, but the image wouldn’t stick. Would it be okay if I fixed it manually and linked it to http://bit.ly/websparkhosting ?

Hi. Sorry to bother you again.
In a nutshell, I tried a couple of different ways that the code might have worked, but they didn’t, so I tried downloading and uploading the picture so I could link it to the link in the code. Didn’t work as a gif file, for some reason, so I converted to jpg and uploaded it somewhere and then used your code link as the link for the picture.
The result isn’t very pretty, but it does work, I suppose. Let me know what else I need to do in case I missed something. Thanks! 😀
Here’s the blog post, Ria:

Hello Ms Ria,
I would love to join the contest.
By the way, I came across with your blog from the Minda Film Fest. I just
learned you were one of the jurors. Hehe…
Akala ko patay na ang blogosphere. Thanks for making it alive!
Manuel, thanks for the entry!
Alberto, do join. Being a juror of the MFF was a great pleasure. 🙂
I wonder why my previous comments didn’t get through… another try…
