I recently finished up my review of the boynq Saber iPod Speaker System over at Futurelooks and now it is time to have a contest to give it away to a lucky reader of my blog. Why am I giving it away? Well I already have an iPod speaker system (XtremeMac Luna Alarm Clock) so I do not need a second place to dock my iPod Nano. I also thought it would be nice to give something away for free to those who visit my site.
Apple iPod Nano NOT included.
For information on the boynq Sabre iPod Speaker system please check out the review done at Futurelooks.com. So that is right this contest it to win a Free boynq Sabre (pour hommes) iPod Speaker System!
Rules:
Pretty much all that I am asking for if for you to write up a short blurb (like 200 words) about my blog as well as mention this contest that I am running with a directly link to this post .
After you are done your post you can leave a comment with the URL for it in the comments section for this post. Please note you will have to use the <a href=””></a> tags for it to work properly. Only one post per person will count as an entry.
Leaving the URL of your post will count as an entry for the contest where I will randomly select a name on the closing date of October 26th 2007. I will get in touch with the winner via Email (which is privately stored). Please note this contest is only available to those in North America with a valid shipping address.
If there are any questions during the contest period please feel free to ask them via the comment section or get in touch with me via my Contact page.
Good luck!
**Update: Track/Ping backs will not work as I do not use Wordpress. So please be sure to add a comment with your link to validate your entry!

I think you need to start working on that PingBack thingy. I’m sure you’d get a lot more entries if you allowed lazy people to enter more easily.

I’ve been looking at trying to figure out how to use XML-RPC Library (the way WordPress does it) but it doesn’t seem to be all that easy. WordPress has 2 scripts and the XMLRPC.php is 2000 lines in size.
I found a tutorial: Coding Your Own Ping Back in PHP but it’s a skeleton and I am having troubles understanding it for now.
This is one of the reasons why I wish I went with WordPress instead of customized, self-coded blog.

Did I just stumble across a new header image, or is it dynamic? I like this new one.

It’s a static header. I wanted a better picture so I took a peek over at iStockPhotos and bought one that was slightly wider than normal. Moved the top menu over and placed the search bar inline

Jeez, see what happens when I clear my cache…
You find the changes that have been made.

I could force the browsers not to cache the site via PHP’s header function. Perhaps I will.

As a person who has implemented trackback in their own custom blog software, let me say a) it’s very easy to get your head around it. and b) whatever you do, for the love of god, do NOT implement “autodiscovery”. I got SO much spam and 0 trackbacks, so I disabled it. I kept the part where I can SEND a trackback. But filtering out the crap was too much trouble. If I re-implement, I’m going to do it without autodiscovery.
