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

Karen — Sun, 13 May 2012 16:29:37 +0000

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.

I do have to thank everyone and all my Twitter Followers for following and Tweeting the contest and ReTweeting the blog posts here on the Blazing Minds Blog, without you the blog wouldn’t be as popular on Twitter as it is, cheers.

And The Winner Of The Blazing Minds 15,000 Twitter Follower Contest Is ….

Congratulations to …. @GemmaHaughton1, Gemma took the time to RT the contest the most and spread the word out to other followers, so a big thanks to Gemma and I’ll be in touch shortly for your prize.

An Announcement For Something Special For My Twitter Followers

To celebrate hitting the 15,000 follower count, I’ve decided to run another little giveaway to Tweeters everywhere, but this time I’m looking for sponsors to give away some prizes in the next contest, these can be cash prizes, advertisement slots on a blog/website, physical prizes such as books etc.

I will be using Rafflecopter for the new contest and each sponsor will have their Twitter or Facebook page listed in the entry options, so sponsors could build their followers or fans via this competition.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor then, leave a comment or contact me via the contact me page (remember to select “sponsor a contest” in the subject box) letting me know what you would like to offer as a prize in the new Blazing Minds contest.

FREE Wondershare PDF Editor – PDF Editing At Your Finger Tips

Karen — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 01:00:08 +0000

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.

As I mentioned earlier PDF Editor is easy to use and It doesn’t require any license code to activate the program, simply import one PDF file into the program and then you can start editing it. Just a few minutes to complete the conversion.

The software also allows you to combine multiple PDF files in to one flexibly and quickly. It allows you to choose any part of pages from the selected PDF files and merge flexibly to create a new PDF file. Also you can set the properties and security for the merged PDF file

splitting a PDF file in to multiple PDF files by specific page ranges at one time is simple as well. You can split a 500-page PDF file into single-page PDF files within 1 minute. Now how cool is that!

Having a PDF editor can be extremely useful and a good one even better, if you’re a blogger and you want to release an eBook such as being able to work on your PDF book is so much easier with the likes of Wondershare PDF Editor, I know that the Twitter eBook that I have been working on and updating is so much easier to edit with this software.

With Wondershare PDF Editor I can edit all of my saved PDF files not just notes or limited sections, everything, so it’s probably a must have piece of software for anyone wanting to edit their PDF files with ease.

How To Grab A Copy Of Wondershare PDF Editor (Worth $59.95) For FREE!

Simply visit the Wondershare Event Page for your chance to WIN a copy of the PDF Editor, for more details on the contest visit the Wondershare Blog.

You will have between April. 5th 00:00 PST – April. 30th 24:00 PST to enter the contest, but it doesn’t stop there, also on the contest page you will get a chance to win other software totalling over $100. So what are you waiting for!

As promised folks today is the day that I announce the winners of the Blazing Minds Birthday Bash Contest which has been running lately in celebration of the blogs third birthday yesterday, so now it’s time to see who has one and what they have one.

Choosing The Winners

Over the time that the contest was running I took all the entrants and added their details and entries in to a database to keep a record of them, each entry was given a unique number and it’s this number that was used to pick the winners.

Then it was over to random.org to generate the numbers for the winners and their prizes this way the numbers were indeed chosen at random.
