The Mark Of A Druid

Contest

Contest 11 New Site Sign up.

We just did this you say? Well, I am a live and learn kind of chick. I had a site built and it was simply way too much work for me to keep up with. I also had several complaints about the site being hard to navigate. So we have migrated all of the users to this new site. Yes, it is wordpress and much easier to navigate. If you were already signed up for the old site your user name and password will work here. If there are any issues logging in, please leave a comment and let me know or start a new account. If you are new to the site then please sign up. If you where referred to the site by a friend please leave a comment telling me so and I will add your name to the drawing. If you are already signed up, you can still win. Just refer a friend and tell them to be sure to comment and give your user name.

So what has changed? Primarily how the site is laid out and a few of the back end functions. I will no longer have your mailing addresses for contest prize delivery. I will announce the winners and shoot them an email to get the snail mail addresses. The blog will now be on the front page and you will not have to looking for them. The RSS feed is set up and working.
