The First April 2007 RAW Prize Winner
It is Morning, April 9th. That means the Reader Appreciation Week starts today.
I would like to start announcing the winners and awarding the prizes for the Reader Appreciation Week! The random number for today was 100, which means Shawn is the first winner for Monday, April 9th, 2007! Congratulations!
Shawn, you are the winner!
Step right up to the stage Shawn! Shawn requested a Gmail invite on October 10th, 2004. Shawn, I have already e-mailed you. Please respond to that e-mail within 24 hours and claim any of the prizes listed on the RAW Prizes page. 
This shows you that if a commentor with a single comment from October 2005 can win a prize, you can too! My focus for this specific week is not on the number of comments but on the fact that you participated and helped my site grow!
How you can participate for today and the remaining days
Please remember: to participate, you do not need to do anything if you have already commented on my site at least once. Otherwise, please leave at least one comment or e-mail me. I cannot know who you are unless you contact me, right? I will also add people who simply e-mail me to the entire numbering list in order to add them to the contest. Thus, to win prizes, you do not even have to comment but simply have to be a reader to this site!
Everyone else, things are going well so far. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Thank you.

Ben, you are now officially entered into the system! Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it.
If today’s winner does not reply, you might even win! 
Has Andy contacted you yet? Do you have any system/rule/plan in place if a winner does not respond to you?

Chau, don’t worry! Today’s contest is open till the winner replies. So far, no reply!
You might win! lol.
The Flickr account contest Ronald mentions is good, but I know your views on Flickr.
Ronalfy, thanks Ronald for letting Chau know about that!
I hope the winner e-mails me back.
