		<description>Nice one. Good enough to make me decide to look through the rest of the blog to see what other quality posts you’ve posted.</description>

		<description>[quote comment="5570"]One problem is though is I could rack up loads of points by fake referring myself over and over. I could even use torbutton, which is a Firefox plugin which gives me an annon. IP at random from 1000s of proy servers, so you would never know it was me.[/quote]

That's a god point, and one I hadn't thought of. Thank you for mentioning it.

[quote comment="5571"]You don't mention if the comment needs to be at this post, or whether it can be at any post on your blog.[/quote]

Sorry, I guess I should make it clearer. It can be at any post on the blog.</description>

		<description>Good morning from Perth, Australia,
I think this is my second comment here. I've been so busy, and I am grateful for that too. :)
I'm impressed at myself for remembering to stop by and comment again. 
You don't mention if the comment needs to be at this post, or whether it can be at any post on your blog. So, I'll post here for you.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Cheers, Thea</description>

		<description>This is an innovative way to increase your blog readership. I have seen blog contests before, but this is unique. One problem is though is I could rack up loads of points by fake referring myself over and over. I could even use torbutton, which is a Firefox plugin which gives me an annon. IP at random from 1000s of proy servers, so you would never know it was me.</description>

		<description>I was very naughty not reading this post last time I visited! 
What a fantastic idea.
Now, if I win the cereal bar, you really don't need to send that to Australia. Quarantine probably wouldn't let it through! :) lol
I'm impressed with your idea, might need to copy-cat one day (shhh! Did I say that?) :)
Cheers, Thea</description>
