    Hi

    I would like to do a giveaway of a few small prizes to launch my new blog.

    All i ask users who want to enter is to sign up to my RSS feed via feedburner.

    I will choose 2-3 random winners from the subscribers and they will win the prizes.

    But how will i see who has signed up so i can contact them and announce the winners???

    Thanks

    beat

    Have them sign up via email. Feedburner gives a list of subscribed email addresses.

    ah right ok.

    So if they signup via email will they get emails everytime i post something to the blog?

    Or is it just simply anoher way of signing up to the blog?

    They will get an email when you post to your blog.

    FeedBurner will give you the code for that, just look around in the control panel of your FeedBurner account.
