		<description>There is no time like the present!!  The quicker you do it and start habitualizing (is this a word?) your efforts, the greater your return will be.</description>

		<description>You kinda have to expect the copycats because people by themselves - left to their own devices - will not think outside of the box, or even find a way to make something slightly different than it already is.  People want what is the easiest, but they don't realize that it's self-sabotage.</description>

		<description>hi there!

I created two contest recently on my sites, they are for $50 in Barefoot Books.  I was wondering the best way to get my contests noticed?  I wish I could give a bigger prize, but I was hoping that the odds were still pretty good to win.

I'm doing it with two of my sites:
1. pajamamom.com  runs until july 31 here are more details:
http://lifesalad.blogspot.com/2007/07/yippee-i-can-believe-it.html
-----a slightly different contest at my other site:
2. maine mamas
http://mainemamas.com
which will only take 50 participants...

I hope some of you will find the contest to fit into your own sites and if you know somewhere to post about this blog contest, I appreciate it!

Best Wishes,
Delphine</description>
