It was very successful. This year, in an attempt to include more participating blogs, I am going to change things around. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Given the success of such events as Blogmania, Got Books?, and others, I am considering the same format. The event would go something like this...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">1. <em>Anyone</em> with a blog can participate with a book related giveaway. NO set value for prizes. </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">2. At the beginning of the weekend long event, participants will place their link in the appropriate Mr. Linky. There will be US only, international, US/Canada, etc. OR if that doesn't work, I will update a link page (I have to experiment with Mr. Linky)</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">3. I will HIGHLY recommend minimal entry requirements. However this will be your giveaway and you must use your discretion. </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>4. Winners will be chosen and posted within one week of the event close.</strong> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I want this to be an easy, enjoyable experience for everyone who decides to participate. IF this is something you would like to participate in, please complete the form. I am not asking for a definite commitment at this point, I am just checking to see if there is any interest. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">**Stay tuned to this blog for more details.

I had Tynga of Tynga's Design Blog create a button for us. I am posting it on the sidebar. Currently it should link back here. Later, we could post just the image and link it to a schedule post on our blogs or we could keep it linked here and keep the schedule on the top, with updated prizes. So after we start posting your contests, this site could show what you are offerering and whose next. What do you guys think?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8608341890237040877-1883270033584533932?l=12blogsofxmas.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12700569544018231914noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608341890237040877.post-74480844809954168102009-11-22T19:21:00.000-08:002009-12-10T17:38:14.259-08:00And then there were 12Yay, Alyssa of The Shady Glade decided to sign on.<br /><br /> Now that we have 12 blogs, I am going to use Random.org to pick spots. If you are unhappy with your spot or you have a scheduling conflict, please ask me or someone else to trade with you. <br /><br />Here is the order...<br />Day 1 Neverending Shelf<br />Day 2 Literary Escapism<br />Day 3 Library Lizard Lounge<br />Day 4 Bites<br />Day 5 Ellz Readz<br />Day 6 The Page Flipper<br />Day 7 Luxury Reading<br />Day 8 Princess Bookie<br />Day 9 Shooting Stars Mag<br />Day 10 Book Rat<br />Day 11 The Shady Glade<br />Day 12 vv32Reads<br /><br />It should not matter where you are in the line, the contest will run until at least the 31st, so even day 12 will have plenty of time to gather entries. We should all post the schedule on our blogs before hand and refer to it when you post your contest. For example, as day 5 I would post my contest, the location at the rest of the days and remind everyone to go back to Priness Bookie, LLL, ect to enter to win their contest. I could even name their prizes to get more interest. Does this make sense, it does in my head, but that doesn't always translate (LOL). <br /><br />That's it for now. I will share when I get the button. I am trying to come up with prize ideas for my giveaway. Talk with you soon!<br />Elie<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8608341890237040877-7448084480995416810?l=12blogsofxmas.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12700569544018231914noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608341890237040877.post-73025006160346867272009-11-17T06:58:00.000-08:002009-11-17T11:59:08.432-08:00UPDATE!!Hi Everyone!<br /><br />So, I have been emailing people like crazy trying to fill the last spot. Either they are not getting my emails or they are not responding. I decided to do a post and offer the last spot to a random draw. At least whoever responds will be interested. I listed everyone's blog names and links who is already participating. Why not start generating interest now! Emailing and hunting down bloggers is becoming too time consuming, I am ready to move on. <br /><br />The other thing is an icon. I am photoshop, art-maker challenged. If anyone is any good at that sort of thing, would you be willing to make a icon that says The 12 Blogs of Christmas? I would like to have something we could put on our sidebars so we could link to it. Nothing fancy, but cute. Let me know. <br /><br />Thanks in advance!<br />Elie<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8608341890237040877-7302500616034686727?l=12blogsofxmas.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12700569544018231914noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608341890237040877.post-48035266956961168162009-11-08T07:13:00.000-08:002009-11-09T12:36:58.344-08:00UpdateGood morning. <br /><br />There are eight of us so far, I posted everyone's feed on the blog roll so you can see who else is participating. I am still waiting on a few people who I am going to email again. If I don't hear back from them by Monday PM, I will be looking for other bloggers. If you have any suggestions, please leave their url's in the comments. Thanks. <br /><br />Waiting on...<br />Jenni @ Falling Off The Shelf<br /><strike>Chelsea @ The Page Flipper</strike> Chelsea signed up! yay!<br />The Book Pixie<br /><strike>Misty @ Book Rat (she did email, she needs a day to think about it)</strike><br />Misty joined the group!!<br /><br />Any other ideas just in case?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8608341890237040877-4803526695696116816?l=12blogsofxmas.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12700569544018231914noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608341890237040877.post-23524883310720399012009-11-07T06:42:00.000-08:002009-11-07T06:42:38.585-08:00Here's the plan.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wP01U6XMvBg/SvWHSLdw4JI/AAAAAAAAAi4/h6eUggu0BS8/s1600-h/j0436386.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" sr="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wP01U6XMvBg/SvWHSLdw4JI/AAAAAAAAAi4/h6eUggu0BS8/s320/j0436386.png" /></a><br /></div>There are tons of great book blogs out there, new ones every day. With as much time as I put into my blog, I want to reach more readers. Last night I came up with an idea to introduce new readers to our blogs using cross-promotion and a giveaway. <br /><br />I am calling this The 12 Blogs Of Christmas. <br /><br />*Participating blogs will be responsible for offering and shipping 1 large prize, The prize could be 3-4 books, swag, GC, something larger than just 1 book. <br /><br />*Starting the day after Thanksgiving, we will post a pic of our icon on our sidebars to generate interest. We can also post a schedule on our blogs so we can link the pic. We could provide links to all 12 blogs. <br /><br />*We will start with "On the first day of Christmas, my blogger gave to me..." and whoever is day 1 will post their contest and the rest of the schedule. Day one will be on December 12th. <br /><br />*Then next day (Dec. 13), the next blogger will post "On the second day of Christmas my blogger gave to me...". They will list post their contest and the schedule including day one and what their prize is. <br /><br />*This would continue until we reached day 12. The contests would stay open until New Years Eve with all the winners announced New Years Day. <br /><br />*The entries for the contests should be simple. For example:<br />To enter you must be a follower. <br />+5 for blogging about the 12 Blogs of Christmas giveaway<br />+5 for linking to your sidebar<br /><br />*The idea is that we send our followers to others blogs and vice versa. It will be a great way to increase readership. <br /><br />I know this is just a rough draft,but it should be fairly simple. As far as who posts on what day, we could use random.org or choose days (I know the holidays are hectic). <br /><br />If you are interested in participating, please email me in a timely fashion. There are only 11 spots, but if you have a recommendation of another blogger who you think would like to participate, please let me know in your email. Be sure to follow this blog, that way we came communicate without having to email 1000 times. <br /><br />If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I am sure there will be a few bugs to work out. <br /><br />If you are not interested, please do not share this information with anyone. It's a secret ;)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8608341890237040877-2352488331072039901?l=12blogsofxmas.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12700569544018231914noreply@blogger.com0
