One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

awesome!! If I win I will give it away on my website.
calling all boxing fans!!
Let us know if you give it away!
That is, if you are going to win the prize here!
Great way to get free publicity for yourself. I like it!
I like the way you think, Edgar! That will be clever marketing on your behalf, and is bound to get you some decent traffic! I myself will be selfish and keep it all to myself…heheheh
Thanks for chance to win Apple iPad!
I will tweet about this opportunity and follow Urban Data!
An iPad as the prize? Awesome..How the winner will be decided? Traffic or what?.
A draw at the 1st dot com pho in April. The more effort you go to, the more entries you will have, and hence a better chance of winning the draw…..
Already made two tweets with my two accounts
How will be the winner decided? Random or maximum number of entries?
I think this will pick by randomly.
But they would love to see maximum tweets
How do we know if a Trackback worked? If mine didn’t my blog post is here — http://taylor21.com/ipad-contest.html

Awesome..thanks John!
How many words is needed for the contest?
Hmm.. good point on the word count.
John, can you clarify if there’s a minimum/maximum?
Don’t think there is a minimum word count, just as long as we have the appropriate links.
nice…john…..thanks for the chance to win an ipad
Hey John, I like the idea of winning an iPad.
Question, wasn’t it this sort of stuff where you ask for link backs that got you in trouble and banned from Google a few years ago or was it the you link to me and I link to you posts that did it?
Sure, I’ll write a blog post about that. I was ready to give a lot more than that to get my hands on one so this is a no brainer. I better win!
The price is great. Surely many people want the ipad.
Yes everyone is keeping an eye on iPad …
This is amazing product by Apple no doubt about this.
I see no point to this iPad thingy. Unless your a chic with a purse. But I still wouldn’t mind having one.
Yea, I haven’t really figured out if it’s worth getting yet, there doesn’t seem much of a point to it.
A great contest to win the douchepad
I haven’t heard it called the douchepad. Ha!
Sweet giveaway, gonna post this on my blog first thing tomorrow.

Thanks
Hello, John! I’m here to know if blogs in Portuguese language can participate to win this iPad too.
If yes, I’m sure I’ll participate!
Thanks a lot!
are the comments moderated?
Hello, here is my entry: Thanks for the chance. I’ll blog about this on my other blogs too.
http://www.rickspot.com/2010/01/free-apple-ipad.html
You pick the right URL.
And make the attractive title as well and do social bookmark it.
WooHoo! I’m in.
I’ll get to work immediately. One question: Do blog comments count for anything? Now, I’m not talking about spammy, off topic comments, but about ones that are on, say, contest blogs.
Thanks for the opportunity!
