Texas Bloggers Giveaway

GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED HERE

What's the prize?
A $25.00 Gift Certificate to Texas Treats! With hundreds of choices under $5.00, you can stuff the stockings or build a gift bag for yourself!
How do I play?
It's easy! Just post four posts that either indirectly of directly reference Texas. That's it! Post do not have to be posted weekly, there just has to four or more total.
Can anyone play?
Nope. This one is open to members of the Texas Bloggers Forum only.
I'm a Texas Bloggers group member. Do I have to participate?
Nope. This is just a fun little extra to help you get those creative juices flowing on day 17 when you're stumped for something to write.
What's the catch?
I hate catches! So, just tell us if you are participating. We'll read your Texas posts and add your name to the drawing. Prize will be awarded on-line. No waiting for us to snail mail your certificate!
Will there be more than one prize?
Possibly. It depends on the response this giveaway has in November. The more Texas Bloggers that participate, the more likely it is that prizewinners will increase.
Is this a business sponsored event?
Nope. We're just doing this for fun amongst friends. Don't look for any business promotions or ads here.

Have more questions? Post 'em here! Or, wait for further details coming in the next two weeks. In the meantime, put on those ten gallon thinking caps and Think Texas!

Here is my first (indirect, I guess) post about Texas.... http://agrownup.blogspot.com/2007/11/i-am-camel.html . I talk about TX Longhorns (the animal, not the mascot)

If they don't have to all be in November...
Here is another... I talk about going to Amarillo http://agrownup.blogspot.com/2007/09/i-saw-my-future.html

And another http://agrownup.blogspot.com/2007/08/there-but-by-grace-of-god.html

EEK! I accidentally deleted a very good question, sorry Julie Cookies! The answer is that the giveaway is only for NaBloPoMo. All four TX posts must be written in the month of November. Keep it up guys! You're doing great!

It's OK :) thanks for answering. Good to know :)
How "indirect" can a post be to still count?

For me to be able to pick up on it, I'd probably need a location name to get it. For instance a post about skiing the Himalayas that says "The sherpas were almost as helpful as the bag boys at Winn Dixie back in Dirtwater". OK I know that was lame, but you get the idea. If it seems a little more vague than that, no worries, just pust a link here so I'll hopefully "get it".

I've posted links to three of my four posts, but do we actually need to post links to the threads or are you actually reading all of our blogs!
