Local Knit-blogger Bribes Readership–News at 5:00 and 11:00

Posted by on Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

I’m still rearranging the new digs, but I’d like you to join me here with your RSS subscriptions. So, how about some bribery prizes for loyal readers who make the trek with me?

I’ve got lovely little Lanea-made sock bags and plenty of fabric to make more, and I may even feel the urge to dig through some of my artisanal yarns if the response is big enough. Switch your RSS feeds to this new address, let me know you’ve done so in the comments, and you may win a prize. I won’t rig the results for people who comment more than once or compliment me in extravagant ways, but I may laugh so hard I shoot milk out of my nose if you’re witty enough. I’ll use a fancy random number generator to select winners from among the commenters in the fairest way I can. Let’s make the deadline for this silly contest Saturday morning, March 7th–add your comment by the time I get up on Saturday if you want a chance at a prize.

    Hellooo! Lovely new home you have here!

    I’m imminently bribe-able. Great Hedgerows BTW!

  3. Gudrunon 04 Mar 2009 at 9:21 pm 3

    Love the new digs! Bribe away…..

  4. Sheliaon 04 Mar 2009 at 9:33 pm 4

    I followed, and will be looking forward to when you have more of your personal “look” here at the new place.

    You don’t even have to bribe me, or tempt me, or whatever. I will follow you, follow you wherever you go… Except I don’t do that RSS thing. I don’t do Ravelry either. I’m a stick. In the mud. Dried mud at that.

  6. rhoon 04 Mar 2009 at 9:41 pm 6

    I follow thru my iGoogle home page does that count – I wouldn’t want to miss anything 😉

    Hey, I did it without being bribed all the way back on Saturday. Nice digs, by the way. mmmm….green.

  8. --Debon 04 Mar 2009 at 10:22 pm 8

    Yep, I’ve got your new feed in my RSS reader!

  9. Susanon 04 Mar 2009 at 10:45 pm 9

    Yup, I switched over the moment I read the first post about it. Also, insert a suitably extravagent compliment here, just in case you were lying about that part. =o)

    YAY! I just suscribed to my first rss feed. I was worried, I’ve never done such a thing before, it always scared me. 🙂

    I’ve been lurking on your front porch for days, waiting for you to get settled in. That was me peeking in the windows when you were unpacking the books…
    Love the new homestead.

    Hey…I’m stalking you…xoxothdx3

  13. Jinannon 05 Mar 2009 at 9:07 am 13

    Just call me a lemming…..I’ve followed you to your new digs! Updating the link on my blog as we speak!

  14. Carolon 05 Mar 2009 at 9:33 am 14

    I found you and updated my link- at work. Of course, I just purchased 5 sock bags. I let Emilia choose which one I keep. She picked my favorite – with the stripe fabric and green :-).

    Shoot. I forgot the extravagant compliment. Umm…

    How about, “the sun truly rises over you.” (Because for me it does because I’m west of you and all that, but I suppose I shouldn’t mention that part, eh?) How about, “I’m willing to go visit my brother because then I can stop and meet you.” There’s a compliment.

    Angus says, “Dere Crazy. I wont update my rss feed until you put less yarn, more cat. Lurve, Angus.”

  17. Jaymeon 05 Mar 2009 at 10:12 am 17

    I switched my feed about a week ago but I’m always in for a contest!

  18. Rycraftyon 05 Mar 2009 at 11:18 am 18

    I did it!

  19. Marty52on 05 Mar 2009 at 12:04 pm 19

    Well, I don’t use RSS feed but I did follow you and update my iGoogle list, does that count? ;0)

  20. Christinaon 05 Mar 2009 at 1:44 pm 20

    I already updated you in my Bloglines.

  21. bibliotecariaon 05 Mar 2009 at 2:45 pm 21

    I changed over as soon as I knew.

  22. Amarulaon 05 Mar 2009 at 2:55 pm 22

    I’m following too – I’ve updated my browser favorites – does that count?!

  23. Donna in VAon 05 Mar 2009 at 5:42 pm 23

    My Google Reader is already updated with your new website.

  24. naomion 05 Mar 2009 at 6:10 pm 24

    I’ve updated my Google Reader, too.

  25. etainon 05 Mar 2009 at 8:25 pm 25

    I’m a brand new subscriber, does that count? And would a sock bag work as a diaper bag or should we talk about what it would cost me to have you make something custom for the expected wee Celt?

  26. Erinaon 05 Mar 2009 at 11:31 pm 26

    Subscribed! My birthday is Saturday so I think you should bribe me! Wait…lemme re-read your instructions…

  27. Marfaon 06 Mar 2009 at 8:39 am 27

    Sweet Lanea,

    Hon, of course we are going to follow you here! Or anywhere ^ .. ^

    XOXO

  28. aprilshowerson 06 Mar 2009 at 9:03 am 28

    Does it count if I wasn’t subscribed before and am now? I saw your post on KR and had to come check it out. Looks great!

  29. anjon 06 Mar 2009 at 11:08 am 29

    so I changed you in my sidebar.. which is how I come to you anyway.. does that count??

    xxooxx

  30. CHon 06 Mar 2009 at 12:14 pm 30

    Good luck on this. You’ve been added to my feeds to feed my knitting needs 😉

  31. Bullwinkleon 13 Mar 2009 at 5:49 pm 31

    I’m bribable – but very late! Sorry about that. I haven’t been able to keep up (oh, say, the last few years!)

    I like the new digs. Congratulations and all the hard work shows. (I started moving my Typepad stuff and realized they had somewhat randomly renamed (with 16 digit numbers) all my pix. Stopped me dead in my track until I could figure out some script to run…)
