Oops! That should be “… if *I* write even a single correct…”

I’m sorry for the mistake!

hmm… Let’s see if write even a single correct point..

1). You removed the “Links” section from your sidebar.
2). You edited your “Meta” section in the sidebar. There are only two links left.
3). You’ve configured comment options so the comments are being approved immediately.

No matter if I win the prize or not, please do let me know if even a single point is correct or not. :)

Thank you Simonne for the participation. I didn’t remove the Top Commentators from the sidebar – it is still showing up on the front page as usual.

The other two things that you’ve mentioned I’ve added a month or two ago – so you are right about them. However, I’m asking about the most recent changes, that happened in the last week. So this contest is still running and there’s a prize to be won. Good luck! :-)

1. You added the option of subscribing to comments via e-mail
2. You removed the Top Commenters from the sidebar
3. You added the bar with options to digg, subscribe, e-mail… at the end of the posts.

I don’t know if I recalled correctly the changes, although I read your blog since at least one month ago. Good luck with the contest.

of course, not knowing the answer to this question doesn’t make you a bad person, Andrew. There will be more contests in future and who knows, perhaps you’ll win one of them :-)

Thanks for the support with non-monetary prizes.

I’m afraid I don’t know the answer (does that make me a bad person?); however, I think non-monetary prizes are a great idea and entirely within the spirit of community.
