Win a Free Facebook Fan Page Design or a Free WordPress installation/makeover
Facebook Fan Contest – Great Prizes! I’m on a mission to grow my fan base. It’s a great way to promote one’s business, and a fun way to share information. The contest runs from April 1, 2010 to May 1st, 2010 12:00am. Winners will be drawn at random. What’s in it for you? For each 100 people that become a fan of Computer Design Graphics I will draw one lucky winner to win a custom fan page. Not some goofy thing with boxes (which are going away soon), but a real fan page in fbml (facebook markup language), with graphics and links back to your primary web site. I can even embed your YouTube video channel, if you have one and it makes sense. Even more prizes! In addition to the fan pages: If Computer Design Graphics makes it to 500 fans,...

The two most common ways to stay connected to your readers are: RSS feeds Email RSS Feeds RSS feeds are simple to use (both as a blogger and as a reader), but some people don’t like them.
