Dear DDS,
While we understand your interests to participate, just to let you know this is a blog contest (to involve bloggers inside and outside of IL).
We already made an exception in order to include non-bloggers too participate in the contest. (You may see it here).
But the conditions listed here apply in all cases with no exceptions.
Thanks for your understanding.Posted 12th February 2010 at 05:02 PM by Induslady - Hello,
I have posted my entry for your contest in the category "Relationship issues" and the link is
Hip Hop Grandmom: Abusive relationships.
My problem is that I am not able to link this announcement to my post. Since this is a condition necessary to be considered by you I would appreciate if you told me how to do it.
I blog under the name hip grandma and I've tagged 3 friends -Usha, eve's lung and apu. This is a wonderful contest and i do hope we get to read some really good entries.Posted 14th February 2010 at 08:11 AM by Preeta123 - Hello!
In continuation of my previous comment I wish to say that I have mentioned the contest before the actual entry ie -
Hip Hop Grandmom: Abusive relationships.
and linked your site to it. I hope this is okay with you.
Thanks,
