			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I pride myself on honesty and transparency with this blog. As you may know I have been running a competition for the last couple of weeks in which you could win free website hosting for a year. Judging from the number of entries I have decide to cancel the competition as there was <span id="more-99"></span>only 1 entry which was by <a href="http://theaffiliatepost.com/" target="_blank">The Affiliate Post</a>.   <br />
Obviously I will think of a way to compensate<a href="http://theaffiliatepost.com/" target="_blank"> The Affiliate Post</a> in the next couple of days.  Also, I am working on some really exciting new competitions for the near future as well some other new developments which I can&#8217;t go into right now! Stay tuned <img src='http://www.johnjoubert.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-82" title="Hosting" src="http://www.johnjoubert.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/servers-300x225.jpg" alt="Hosting" width="300" height="225" />Taking a leaf out of <a href="http://thepissbiscuit.com/" target="_blank">PB&#8217;s </a>book (I hope he doesn&#8217;t mind), I would like to give something back to all my readers and at the same time promote my blog to a wider audience! So I have decided to run a competition in which you could win a web hosting package for an entire year. Now before everyone starts screaming&#8230;&#8221;SCAM! SCAM!&#8221; let me explain a little better&#8230;<span id="more-81"></span></p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s the Deal?</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s pretty simple, all you have to do to become eligible to win is become an <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1956653&amp;loc=en_US" target="_blank">email subscriber </a>to my <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/JohnJoubert" target="_blank">RSS feed</a>. It&#8217;s that simple. Obviously please don&#8217;t forget to then go check your inbox and verify that you want to become a subscriber. Then just post a comment here to let me know that you&#8217;re a subscriber.</p>
<p><strong>What can you win?</strong></p>
<p>Hosting package will include:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>1 year hosting with <a href="http://www.ipower.com/join/index.bml?AffID=569435&amp;LinkName=website3">IPOWER</a></li>
<li>Free domain name</li>
<li>15000 GB of Bandwidth</li>
<li>2500 emails</li>
<li>Much more</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s the catch?</strong></p>
<p>There is absolutely no catch at all&#8230; I will never share your email address with anyone and you will never receive any spam from me. The only emails that you will receive are of posts that I have written.</p>
<p><strong>Second chances</strong></p>
<p>If you would like to increase your chances of winning this awesome prize then you are more than welcome to write something about this competition and spread the word a little. All you have to do is include a Trackback to this post and you will instantly have a second entry into the competition. If you don&#8217;t know what a Trackback is then check out this article: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackback" target="_blank">Trackbacks</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Rules</strong></p>
<p>The competition will end in roughly two months, but the final date will be decided on at a later stage. You must verify that you have become a subscriber to be eligible. Any additional entries through trackbacks will only increase your chances, everyone will still have a chance to win!</p>
<p><strong>Acknowledgement</strong></p>
<p>I have to just say that the idea for this competition is very much based on the competition that is currently running over at <a href="http://thepissbiscuit.com/" target="_blank">The Piss Biscuit</a>. If you want to win even more, why don&#8217;t you go check it out too: <a title="Permanent Link to PB's Premium Theme Giveaway!" href="http://thepissbiscuit.com/pbs-premium-theme-giveaway/" target="_blank">PB&#8217;s Premium Theme Giveaway!</a></p>
<p><strong>Start winning!</strong></p>
<p>With all that having been said, why not start winning now! Here&#8217;s the all important link to my <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1956653&amp;loc=en_US" target="_blank">email subscription</a> page. Good luck!</p>
