USD Karen.

Not sure what the implications of it are for different countries and tax etc. I guess that’s between individuals and their accountants.

Not that it matters – but is that $1000 in AUS currency, or US?

If US, does that effectively double the dividends for non-US people?

Hi Darren

Thanks for setting this up. I guess we all really appreciate using your blog as a meeting place…somewhere to network and get new ideas. I’m really looking forward to contributing and reading what others put up.

I’m looking forward to this. I haven’t written competitively in a long time.

Always looking for new material I can relate to Omaha, Nebraska. :)

I’m thinking that with the sheer numbers of quality bloggers that touch down here on a regular basis, good reading will be in abundance for quite some time.

That is great money, Darren. :) And from your reviews, Chitika does sound like a good sponsor.

Great prize. What might also be good is highlighting some of the best of the project. In your past two group projects, I had much more exposure to my contribution when it was highlighted versus when I was part of the total list.

Ooh, very excited for this one – I’ll have to squeeze it in between re-doing my blog (that I accidently complete crashed). :-(

Darren,
You might want to take a cue from a bunch of the blog “memes” or “carnivals” that blogging Moms are doing – when they do a contest like this they put up a plugin called Mr. Linky. The participants drop their name and URL into the Mr. Linky (where they each get a number and a nicely formatted link), and it makes a nice, easy way for the person running the contest to check the entries or pick a random winner.
It also lets other people visiting the blog have a nice list of participating posts to go visit.

To see one in action, check out the latest Works For Me Wednesday meme/carnival.
