Thanks to EVERYONE who clicked, tweeted and made sure all the links worked from the top of the page ALL THE WAY to the Bottom!
The WINNER is... Debbie (dasuzuki)!
Congrats! I've just sent the email to let her know!
I've been meaning to update the look of Chick with Books for a while now... Add a few things here and there... Have fun changing some colors, fonts etc... Add a little html code and see what happens... So now that I've got things pretty much in place, What do you think?!
Want to help me make sure it's all working? I've got a little incentive for helping... I'm going to give away a $15 Amazon.com gift card to one lucky helper! Here's all you have to do to enter...
- Click on any of the links on the blog (in posts, sidebar, the tabs above, etc.) and let me know in a comment below (on this post) what link you clicked on and if worked (it took you where it's suppose to take you) or if it didn't work.
- Tweet any of the posts by clicking on the "tweet" button at the end of the post and leave a comment below letting me know what post you tweeted, and if it worked.
That's it! Easy enough? It's a great way for me to find out if things are working (or not working) and a fun way for you to enter to win a gift certificate!... Let's click around the blog until Sept.15th! So, Giveaway ends 11:59pm EST on Sept. 15th. I'll randomly choose one winner from all the comments received! Thanks for the help! And Good Luck!

I clicked around on your 2 tabs at the top. Both worked great. I also clicked several of the reviews and/or giveaways down the side. The only one I had an issue with with The Art of Devotion. Everytime I clicked on it my work server blocked it as a hacking issue. None of the other links had that issue. Great new look!
I checked Contact Me and 1st Yr. Blogoversary Winners links at the top.
Wolf Hall giveaway worked as well.
Twitter link good too!
