A-Z Contest Standings & Quiz

 I'd have to say that my contest was fairly successful at pulling in visitors during this years A-Z Challenge, especially considering I had very little time to visit other blogs.  A total of 293 people stopped in, leaving 1357 comments -- 336 more than I received last year.  Most were one and done commenters (the norm during the Challenge), but 40+ were double-digit visitors and a handful commented on EVERY SINGLE POST!  Thank you!!  Success or not, I'm glad I held this contest so I could reward at least one of these followers.

Here's a breakdown of who visited my blog in April (note - I only listed the ones who left comments a minimum of ten times, which was the cut-off to be eligible for the prize).  And NO...you can not go back to those April posts and comment now, they are closed.  If you disagree with the number of comments I have listed, just leave me a note and I will check it out.

Now it's time to see who can double the amount of times their name appears in the hat for the $75 Amazon gift card drawing.  Below is a list of 26 questions about me, the answers to which were buried in each of my 26 posts.  Each person who emails me at dlh.hammons@gmail.com with the correct answers to ALL of these questions will have their chances in the hat doubled.  And it's got to be all 26...no skimping!  I will post the answers and the winner of the contest on Monday, May 6th.
