You can join the contest here!

So there you have it. I could leave it at that for the day, just be lazy and show you what I copied and pasted (it would take me a long time to type that up, especially with links, so thanks Jason). I am going to tell you more though so you can join this awesome contest.

That first place prize looks good right? To bad this guy that joined yesterday or day before has hogged it because he spam posts (all the new people are doing that to get points, I encourage you not to). He also has like 5 websites, so posts about the contest on all of them.

So, if you would like to join this amazing contest yourself and see the original thread, here it is.

Join Blog Premiere here and navigate your way around. Note: the registration box does not work, use the nav bar at top to register.
