Emma over at It’s Write Now has added a bit of spice to her New Word Monday where every Monday she publishes a new word and it’s definition. Brings to mind the age old Readers Digest, “Increase Your Word Power” series that have worked the minds of folks for decades on end. But you can actually win some cash with this contest. Not a lot but enough for those needed misc weekly errands that need doing now and then or to top off your tank.
I?ve finally decided what I?m going to do with my New Word Monday. Every 5th word I will have a contest where one lucky commenter wins 20$ USD.
It’s easy to participate. Every fifth word Emma will run a contest that will last two weeks (the first one ends September 16th though) in which one lucky comment picked at random will win $20.00 for using all five words in a comment. She has example on her announcement post.
The list of current New Word Monday Words can be found here.
I should be good at this! For instance I can easily use the following four Words in just one sentence:
Defeat, Deduct, Defense and Detail.
Ready?
Defeat of deduct went over defense before detail.
I’m a winner for sure. 
Kirk, you definitely are a winner. Your so nice to me. Thanks for the links. I’m just having fun. Trying new things to see what does and doesn’t work. I see you got your WordPress issues ironed out. Take Care, Emma
Hi Emma,
Only because you deserve it.
Looks like things are back to sub-normal for me. I’ve known for quite awhile know that the structure of the blog needs a complete overhaul and since the new WordPress 2.3 changes just about everything, now is the time to get it done. For once, the new blogger is at an advantage because that haven’t had the time to really start adding all the plugins that add tagging and affect categories, blogroll etc so upgrading is no problem.
It’s for long timers like me that it’s going to be a hassle but then again, I love ze cha-llahnge (said with a Jacques Clouseau type accent).
