Happy Mother’s Day from A ContestBlog!
Thanks to all of you who have submitted contests and all of my visitors.

Hello! I recently learned the site wasn’t displaying correctly in Internet Explorer. I had checked it in IE early on but apparently something happened along the way. The whole right side of the site was appearing in the bottom of the left column, instead of in the middle where it belonged. If you notice anything that looks wrong, please feel free to drop me a line. Traffic is increasing nicely, and more contest submissions are starting to come in. If you have any constructive suggestions on how to improve the site for visitors, let me know. Feed footer ads are now available for purchase, which means any ad placed there will go out on every contest I announce during the period of time advertising was bought for. Thanks for visiting and your support. Keep those contests coming!
