<li> <strong>If you have a blog, you must link back to <a href="http://twentyfourcarat.net/">TwentyFourCarat.net</a> and I will put you in a separate draw to win a NYX lipstick <sub>(or two)</sub>.</strong>

</li>
</ul>
<p><em>*Donâ€™t worry, no one will see your profile but me.</em> &#038; I know I said I was going to give away a book, but Iâ€™ll do that next time. And um, if youâ€™re a guy, your girlfriend will be very happy if you won.  <img src='http://twentyfourcarat.net/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  Besides, who doesn&#8217;t like free stuff?</p>
<p><img class="border" src="http://twentyfourcarat.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/082008_mac.jpg" alt="MAC eyeshadow" title="MAC Cosmetics" align="left" /><strong>Why?</strong> I <u>finally</u> upgraded WordPress to 2.6.1! I never did it before because I didnâ€™t want <a href="http://fortes.com/projects/wordpress/postlevels/" target="_blank">Post Levels</a> to break â€¦ and it didnâ€™t! It doesnâ€™t work in 2.4, 2.5 or 2.6 but I guess 2.6.1 somehow fixed it (yes I was still using 2.3.1)! Yay. But anyway, I also really wanted to use the <a href="http://skullbit.com/wordpress-plugin/register-plus/" target="_blank">Register Plus</a> plugin and I was sick of making newly registered members fill out a questionnaire before I approve their account. Most importantly, I was losing track of users on here and forgot who half of them are.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry, I have a bad habit of procrastinating, but I will finally announce the winner of my last <a href="http://twentyfourcarat.net/?p=1338" target="_blank">contest</a>â€¦</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://stephanieapril.vox.com/" target="_blank"> <strong>STEPHANIE</strong></a> </p>
<p>â€¦who won a copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Host-Novel-Stephenie-Meyer/dp/0316068047/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1218734865&#038;sr=8-1" target="_blank">The Host</a> by Stephenie Meyer. I&#8217;m pretty sure she was my very first subscriber too so she deserved to win! <img src='http://twentyfourcarat.net/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>As for the second part of my contest, there weren&#8217;t enough participants so I won&#8217;t be giving out the prize (my fault for not promoting it enough). Props to <a href="http://www.hollow-star.net/wp/" target="_blank">J*</a> though for entering.</p>
<p>For my next contest, I will either be giving away graphic design books, <strong>The Twilight Series</strong> (Stephenie Meyers) or <strong>Phillipa Gregory</strong> books so stay tuned!!</p>
<p><strong>Also, a note to those who have registered recently&#8230; <u>CHECK YOUR EMAIL / JUNKMAIL FOLDER!!!!</u> I won&#8217;t approve your account until you reply to my email and verify your account!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a <a href="http://twentyfourcarat.net/?p=1283" target="_blank">contest</a> way back in March and I actually drew the names of the winners but didn&#8217;t send the last gift out until a couple days ago because I&#8217;ve been super busy with work and freelancing lately. But the winners were <a href="http://miss-roboto.org/">Crystal</a> and <a href="http://verbalism.org/">Kiera</a>! I got Crystal a <strong>Hello Kitty Juicer</strong> just because it was fun and totally unexpected (plus she loves Hello Kitty stuff) and Kiera <strong>The Judas Strain</strong> by James Rollins because she mentioned she loves suspense novels and I would give people books any chance I get.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m going to be sending a <strong>FREE </strong> copy of <a href="http://twentyfourcarat.net/index.php?now_reading_author=stephenie-meyer&#038;now_reading_title=the-host-a-novel">The Host</a> by Stephenie Meyer to a registered member of 24c. It will be a random draw but of course there will be <strong>rules</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li> You have to be registered before today (June 1<sup>st</sup>, 2008).</li>
<li> Your account has been logged into within the last 5 months.</li>
<li> Pending registrations DON&#8217;T count.</li>
</ul>
<p>For <u>non-registered members</u>, if you want a free book, comment on this entry and write a short paragraph on your blog about your favorite book, a quick synopsis (<u>NO SPOILERS PLEASE!</u>) and WHY you love it. <em>If</em> I get enough entries, I&#8217;ll select my favorite one and send you <a href="http://twentyfourcarat.net/index.php?now_reading_author=anne-rice&#038;now_reading_title=the-witching-hour">The Witching Hour</a> by Anne Rice. Registered members can do this too to get a chance on getting TWO free books. Teeheehee. <strong>Rules are:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> You must have a blog (WP, Facebook, Xanga, whatever, as long as it&#8217;s a blog) and write in it at least 2 times per week.</li>
<li> Blog about this contest and link back to this entry on 24c. The link is: <strong>http://twentyfourcarat.net/?p=1338</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Books will be brand new and ordered from Amazon.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve already read any of these books, let me know and I&#8217;ll <em>consider</em> choosing another (you don&#8217;t get to pick). Why am I doing this?! <strong>BECAUSE I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD BE READING!!!!!!!!!!</strong> Everyone needs to appreciate and understand the value of books. <img src='http://twentyfourcarat.net/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' />  Look out for the winner(s) in a couple of weeks.  <img src='http://twentyfourcarat.net/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p><strong>EDIT &#8212; </strong><br />
Sorry but I forgot to add, I&#8217;ll be contacting the winners for their mailing addresses so make sure your email is valid! It&#8217;s up to you to give it to me or not (there is a chance I&#8217;ll be stalking you and showing up at your door with rubber duckies) but if you don&#8217;t, obviously your gift is forfeited.</p>
<p><strong>DEADLINE: JUNE 15<sup>TH</sup>.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.jebelle.net/" target="_blank">Tracy</a> is doing a little project on her blog where she will send a gift to two random people based on their personalities, and I thought this is an awesome way to interact with my visitors! Plus I LOVEE shopping and buying gifts for people. <img src='http://twentyfourcarat.net/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Soooo&#8230; here&#8217;s the deal:</p>
<ol>
<li>Comment on this entry OR <a href="http://twentyfourcarat.net/?page_id=733">email me</a> and write a couple sentences or even a paragraph (the more the better) about yourself, your personality and your interests. The only catch is that you have to have a blog and I have to somehow know you (eg. have I visited your blog before?).</li>
<li><a href="http://twentyfourcarat.net/?page_id=733">Email me</a> your name and address. Don&#8217;t worry, I won&#8217;t give it to some creepy pedophile.</li>
<li>In a couple days, I will write down everyone&#8217;s personality on pieces of paper and draw two people.</li>
<li>I will then go out to buy them a present either locally or online just because I&#8217;m addicted to online shopping. The gift will be based on your personality and it could be anything; purchased, preowned, cheap or expensive. Don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ll try to refrain from sending anyone smelly socks unless their personality permits. <img src='http://twentyfourcarat.net/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
</ol>
<p>Just don&#8217;t expect a new refridgerator or something if you emphasize that you love to eat and fried chicken because shipping is freaking expensive. You MAY expect a bucket of fried chicken though.</p>
<p>Hehe. Kidding.</p>
