Too long, but since holidays are close, lets have some fun and make two of you folks the owners of a brand new premium WordPress theme from <a href="http://blogsessive.com/go-themeforest/" target="_blank"><strong>ThemeForest</strong></a>. It is a simple contest and everyone owning a <a href="http://twitter.com/Blogsessive" target="_blank">Twitter</a> account is invited to join in!</p>
<h3>Xmas Contest Prizes</h3>
<p>Two of the contest participants will each win a premium WordPress theme of their choice from <a href="http://blogsessive.com/go-themeforest/" target="_blank"><strong>ThemeForest</strong></a>. Contest prize selection is restricted to the WordPress category on the previous mentioned website.</p>
<p>The two winners will be <strong>randomly picked</strong> by me on the day of December 26th. Read the rules below.<span id="more-1712"></span></p>
<h3>Xmas Contest Rules</h3>
<p>Do you own a Twitter account? If so, there are two things you need to do in order to enter this contest:</p>
<p><strong>First</strong> you will have to retweet an exact copy of the following:</p>
<blockquote><p>Win a Premium #WordPress theme in @Blogsessive&#8217;s Xmas Retweet Contest! http://bit.ly/XmasRT Click to enter!</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blogsessive recommends WP WebHost for <a href="http://blogsessive.com/go-wpwebhost/" title="WordPress Hosting" target="_blank"><strong>quality WordPress blog hosting</strong></a>!</p><p>Dear folks, I&#8217;ve been thinking of a way to give back some of the appreciation you&#8217;ve shown me since day one, a way to compensate for the time you spend reading these blog posts and commenting upon them.</p>
<p>Initially, the famous &#8220;Top Commentators&#8221; plugin crossed my mind, but since it will be hard to keep out those who (unfortunately) try to &#8220;beat the system&#8221;, I&#8217;ve decided to choose another method.</p>
<p>Since I already go through every comment I receive and appreciate those comments that contribute to the amount of quality information of this blog, every month, I will pick one of my commentators to be awarded as &#8220;Reader of the Month&#8221;.<span id="more-965"></span></p>
<p><strong>I will not base my decision on the number of comments you leave</strong>, but rather on how useful and on-topic they are. There will also be other factors that will affect my decision, but since I&#8217;m not trying to guide you on how you should react on and toward Blogsessive, I will not disclose them.</p>
<p>So, what does the &#8220;Reader of the Month&#8221; get, besides the title? Public recognition manifested in listing his/her name along with a do-follow link to their blog/website on the homepage of Blogsessive, between the promo boxes and the content.</p>
<p>Please note that reader blogs and websites used as pure product promotion tools or containing adult/illegal materials <strong>will never get nominated</strong>.</p>
<p>So, starting with <strong>February 1st</strong>, I&#8217;ll be watching the activity here a bit closer and on March we&#8217;ll have our first &#8220;Reader of the Month&#8221; nominee.</p>
