    Odin, I sent you a PM. :)

    To everyone else:

    There are four people in poll that state they do not think this contest is legit. I'm not sure how to reassure your concerns, other than state again that this is 100% legit. This is not a contest that I post in the forums and then never post about again. Each entry so far has been posted according to the rules and Digg and Netscape meters (vote buttons) attached. If you doubt the contest, at least take a look at the entries. I take a lot of pride in my site and this contest. Each page is programmed as 100% XHTML compliant and each entry is run through copyspace to ensure its originality.

    Current State of the Contest:

    We have 10 days left....that's it!

    Top 10 things you need to make a good website. 0 Diggs 0 Netscape

    So, now you see what you are competing against. Do you think you can do better? I'll pay you $1,000 if you can! Even if you don't think you can win, enter the contest and at least get a link to your site out of it.

    Please let me know if there are any further questions, or concerns.

    how much have you spent on promotion so far? I needed to spend $1000 to make 300 people use just 4 minutes of their precious time to answer 25 really simply click-click questions for a chance to win $4500....

    :) You sound a little bitter! lol. Yea, running into the same problem. Offering the 1k plus about the same in advertising (paid blogging etc). Not near the return I was hoping for. Still..."There are 10 days left" I am really hoping more people on DP will pull through for me

    I must say this was a lovely contest and a GREAT chance for someone to win $1000.

    I'd love to have a go at it, but I was short on time and now I'm late : )
    Wishing all well !

    LOL..it's not too late until tomorrow at 12 EST. :) All it takes is one article with a Title that climbs up in digg fast :) The right title can climb to diggs home page in an hour or less.

    Good luck to everyone as well. It looks like it's a close call right now.

    Ask yourself...what would I do if I made $1,000 in the 10 minutes it took to right an article for this contest? As for me, I think I'd get that long over do root-canal....yuck. Or increase my xbox 360 game collection. :)
