Wanna Win a Polliwog?
Polli of Polliwog’s Pond has been gracious enough to donate 12 small pewter polliwogs for us to award during Blogathon 2007. I am embarrassed to say that I had no idea what a polliwog was, so I googled it. It’s what I refer to as a “tadpole”. These little polliwogs are considered good luck charms, so if you could use a stroke of good luck, be sure to enter the contest!
Here’s how you can win a polliwog:
1. Spread the word about our efforts to raise money for The Glaucoma Foundation by creating a post on your blog.
2 . Encourage your readers to make a pledge. Every $5 in pledges will get one entry into a a drawing for a $25 Amazon.com gift card.
3. Discuss the other ways in which your readers can help. They can: (a) hang out with us during Blogathon 2007, (b) spread the word to their own readers, and (c) submit a 10 Questions post to BlogsWeLuv.
4 . Leave a comment or pingback on this post to let us know that you’ve participated. For those of you who have already posted about our efforts, you are automatically entered into the contest.
Participants will be entered into a drawing for the polliwogs. 12 winners will be chosen at random times during Blogathon.
Blogathon 2007 begins at 9 AM Eastern on Saturday, July 28th and ends 24 hours later. Thank you for your support!
Great idea Tish! I love this. I’m kinda giggling that all the time you just thought I had a weird name. :-)
P.S. I’ll sweeten the pot by giving EVERYONE who enters a backlink on my blog. I’m only a PR3 now but I’m hoping to be a PR5 in the next update. Everyone get posting!
Polli, thank you for all the support you’ve given us! We are so grateful! Oh, and when I was talking to Mike the other day, I told him that I had to google “polliwog”. He told me that he had done the same thing! hahaha! At least we know what they are now! :)
Tish the post isn’t only about your worthy cause but I did mention you all and your efforts. you don’t have to enter me I just wanted to let you know . Hugs and great bloggin!
Peace!
Hey, just wanted to come along and introduce myself - I’m John and I’ll be your monitor for the Blogathon.
Hope all’s well and I’ll see you on Saturday!
Yay I wanna do it!!
Hey kids,
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve written a post about you and your efforts on both of my blogs.
I know that won’t get me 2 entries into the polliwog contest, but that’s ok. I’m doing it for the charity more than the polliwogs.
Here are my links:

It’s the same post at both sites, but I’ve got 2 totally different groups of readers.
Also, I’ll be checking in during the blogathon to see who needs coffee, cocktails, words of encouragement, or whatever else I can provide. I think what the two of you are doing is very noble and The Glaucoma Foundation is very lucky to have the two of you as their champions.
I’ve entered! http://neonscent.com/blog/2007.....-polliwog/ Good luck on the contest! :D
Hi guys, I just got my post up. Wishing you guys all the best with this selfless endeavor. Would you guys like to have some Pownce invitations to give away? I can hook you up with several. Let me know. I’ll be dropping in this weekend.
hey Tish, sorry I can’t donate but I can be here for support!!!
xoxo!
Good morning and good luck today! :)
G’morning Dyanna! Good luck to you as well :)
Tish and I have our Red Bull nicely chilled. We’re ready to kick this thing off :D
Best wishes in your effort today.
Oh they are so cute! A Must have. My next post will be to give you a little linky love.
