<p>So I gave the contest a shot and tweeted, likes, followed etc to do what I could to enter in to the BlogEngage contest, I must say that I was able to follow some brilliant bloggers that are on BlogEngage through the contest and it was fun doing it <img src='http://blazingminds.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h3>What A Brilliant Way To Start 2012 With An Announcement From BlogEngage</h3>
<p>Then today I had an email of Brian, I was one of the four that had won a rather tasty $50, now how brilliant is that <img src='http://blazingminds.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Those of you that do read my blog will have seen my articles on BlogEngage and how I use it to find some interesting articles to read and also as a source of inspiration and help from fellow bloggers, it&#8217;s a community of a lot of give and less take than some other communities you could find and it&#8217;s the friendliness of everyone there that has kept it going in the years that it has been running.</p>
<p>So I would like to say a big, big thank you to Brian and BlogEngage for making my day today and I would also like to congratulate the other three winners of their $50, so it&#8217;s a big congratulations to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mohammed Salmanbaig</li>
<li>Zain Ali</li>
<li>Jeevan Jabob John</li>
</ul>
<p>And thanks again Brian and BlogEngage for a lovely surprise and a great start to the New Year <img src='http://blazingminds.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First of all I must say a very big thank you to @Bbrian017 from BlogEngage for sponsoring last months Top Commentator Contest with a brilliant prize.</p>
<p>So last month I announced that we would be having  Top Commentator contest to find that one person that finds the time to stop by and comment on the blog posts here on Blazing Minds and comment well.</p>
<h3>The Prize!</h3>
<p>As I mentioned the prize was kindly sponsored by Brian from BlogEngage and is: <em><strong>A free Blog Engage Account (29.99USD Value) and a</strong></em><em><strong> free year of our Gold Membership RSS Services (59.88USD Value).</strong></em></p>
<p>Which I have to say is an amazing prize and something that all bloggers could do with to help promote their blogs to the world.</p>
<h3>Ok! Who&#8217;s Won The Top Commentator Prize?</h3>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t really that surprised to see who had won the September Top Commentator Contest, as I know that he is always posting here on Blazing Minds and has been doing for a good while now, his comments never stray from the topic of the blog post and he even finds the time to reply back to comments that have made a reply to his comment.</p>
<p>So without further ado, I would like to say congratulations to &#8230;..</p>
<p>John from the website <a target="_blank" title="PayDayFinancial" href="http://www.paydayfinancial.co.uk/" target="_blank">PayDayFinancial</a></p>
<h3>We Are Going To Do It Again For October!</h3>
<p>Yes folks, we are going to do all this again this month, I&#8217;d like to see some fresh Gravatars in the top 10 commentators, so keep commenting with non-spammy comments and you&#8217;re in with a chance of getting the superb prize mentioned above that has kindly been sponsored by Brian at BlogEngage.</p>
<p>So good luck everyone in the <strong>October Top Commentators Contest</strong> <img src='http://blazingminds.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<div class="zemanta-pixie"><img class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/pixy.gif?x-id=9b3f1c3e-3404-4ae8-8732-35d60d6f98a8" alt="" /></div>

<p>It&#8217;s really easy to win the contest, all you have to do is comment here on Blazing Minds and the top commentator at the end of this month will be the lucky winner of the above mentioned prize.</p>

<p>So as long as your comments are not deemed as SPAM and are not deleted then you are in with a chance of winning, we will be strict on the commenting guidelines this month while the Top Commentator contest is running and your comments <strong>MUST</strong> include a <strong>FIRST NAME</strong>, comments without a will be deleted, you have been warned.</p>
<h3>Follow The Commenting Guidelines</h3>
<p>When you leave a comment on this blog you will see the comment policy in the commenting section, follow it and you should have your comments accepted, also try to get yourself a Gravtar as this really helps the moderation process of your comments.</p>
<h3>Good Luck And Let The Games Begin</h3>
<p>So good luck and lets see some well written and interesting comments coming in for this months competition, I know you can all do it <img src='http://blazingminds.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Hey there folks, some great news just in those wonderful people over at JML have been kind enough to give me the opportunity to run a celebratory competition giving away some amazing stuff from JML to those lucky winners of this the competition.</p>
<p>In July <a target="_blank" title="JML" href="http://www.jmldirect.com" target="_blank">JML</a> will be celebrating their 25th birthday? Over the last <strong>25 years</strong> they have brought more than 1,400 products to the high street and have brought such classics as the Snuggie and the Ped Egg to the high street. They’ve teamed up with myself @BlazingMinds to offer some fantastic prizes for you.<br />
<span id="more-6691"></span></p>
<h3>What can You Win In The JML Anniversary Competition?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Their best-selling ironing board cover will be up for grabs. It reflects heat so that ironing is considerably quicker and comes in a variety of different colours.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6789" title="FFIBCE" src="http://blazingminds.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/FFIBCE.jpg" alt="FFIBCE" width="250" height="375" /></li>
<li>The cheese grater for feet, the Ped Egg, is also part of the giveaway.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6790" title="Pink Ped Egg" src="http://blazingminds.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Pink-Ped-Egg.jpg" alt="Pink Ped Egg" width="250" height="239" /></li>
<li>Magic Eraser, a sponge block that you simply dip in water to clean spills and mess.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6791" title="Magic Eraser" src="http://blazingminds.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Magic-Eraser-2.jpg" alt="Magic Eraser" width="252" height="472" /></li>
<li>The Sit Right is also available – it’s a backrest for your chair.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6792" title="Sit Right" src="http://blazingminds.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Sit-Right.jpg" alt="Sit Right" width="250" height="375" /></li>
</ul>
<p>So that&#8217;s four lucky people could be in with a chance of winning one of these great prizes that I have up for grabs &#8211; the <strong>Sit Right</strong>, a <strong>Doktor Power Magic Eraser</strong>, an <strong>Ironing Board Cover</strong> and the amazing <strong>Ped Egg</strong>!</p>
