* If you update your blog every day in the month of November and are a registered NaBlo member, you are automatically in the running for a prize, whether you are listed on the blogroll or not.

To award prizes, I assign each member blog a number. Then I use a random generator to spit out a number, which I then match to a blog on my very long list of blogs. Next, I check the chosen blog to see if it was updated every day in November 2008. If it was, the blogger wins a prize.

NaBlo rewards the quantity of your posts and ignores the quality!

Once all the prizes have been assigned I will contact the winners with the good news. If for some reason the winner declines to accept their prize, I will go back to my list until I find another winner. Once all the prize givers and winners have been matched up I will publish the list. If I lock myself in a closet and ignore my family's cries for food and love, I can usually accomplish this heroic feat of blog reading in less than 24 hours and publish the list of winners by the end of the day December 1.

NB: I have no way of knowing whether you cheated or not, so you're on your honor.

Also, you may not put yourself in the running for certain prizes only, sorry.
