Hello fellow bloggers, readers and all round amazing people visiting the Blazing Minds blog, now if you’ve been reading the blog recently you will have seen the post I did about the Blazing Minds Twitter finally reaching 15,000 followers and the mention of a new contest, well here it is!

I put the call out the other day for some sponsors for to donate to the contest and I’m glad to say that the call was answered and so I’ve now got some great prizes in the new contest including advertising, a cash prize, blog promotion and copies of the brilliant Blogging The Essential Guide (Which I reviewed here on this very blog)

The Great Blazing Minds Contest Is Here!

OK so this may not mean a lot to everyone, but it means a heck of a lot to me, over the last few months I was running a slight Twitter Contest, to finally break that 15,000 followers on Twitter that seemed to elude the @BlazingMinds Twitter for a while.

I tweeted out to my followers asking to RT a tweet about a draw which will be made when the Blazing Minds Twitter finally broke the 15,000 mark, quite a few followers ReTweeted the tweet and several ReTweeted it several times.

We Did It! Did What? We Finally Broke 15,000 Followers On Twitter!

So I’ve sorted out who has won an Exclusive Blazing Minds T-Shirt, which will be specially customized for the winner, the winner has been chosen from the 15,000 followers and it is someone who is still following and has done the most Tweets in promoting the contest and believe me it’s taken a while to sift through all the entries, but I’ve finally got down to a winner who has put in quite a lot of tweets and is a loyal follower.

Wondershare PDF Editor for Windows is an innovative tool for users to edit, convert, and annotate PDF files. Different from those so-called “PDF Editors”, which only work with notes or limited page contents, Wondershare PDF Editor allows users to directly edit all the content of the PDF files in any language. What’s more, it also gives users the ability to edit and reuse PDF contents in Word by converting PDF to Word. Marking and annotating PDF files are also very easy with Wondershare PDF Editor.

It’s so easy to use and packed with features, I’ve recently been given a chance to give the software a test run and I do have to say that it is extremely useful, it’s easy to use and isn’t full of those complicated options that other PDF Editors usually baffle you with.

Wondershare PDF Editor Features:

• Split a 500-page PDF file into single-page PDF files within 1 minute.
• Allow users to combine multiple PDF files into one flexibly and quickly.
• You can set the properties and security for the merged PDF file.
• Split PDF file to multiple PDF files by specific page ranges at one time.
