As promised, here are more details on the five free iPhones giveaway. Since this is five giveaways in one, and I don’t want the same person to win all five iPhones, the rules are little more complicated than the free Mac Book Air giveaway or the five letter dot com domain giveaway.

Many of you know my history, but, as some of the recent comments show, particularly those where I am referred to as “she” and “Morgan Ashley”, a good proportion of Upstart Blogger readers really don’t know me at all. I find it amazing that so many people comment on my site without even taking the time to find out my gender. I wasn’t aware that my about page photograph looked so feminine!

Anyway, I’m hoping that this competition will allow me to make a more personal connection with readers and generate traffic for some of my other projects.

Ever since taking over Upstart Blogger a few months ago I have started to revamp my music sites. Those who know me will be nodding their heads and those that don’t will, no doubt, be scratching theirs. These sites have been wallowing in cyberspace for a while now and have only recently been kick-started into action.

Don’t worry, I’m getting to how you can get a shiny new free iPhone.

All you have to do is link to one of my other blogs, subscribe to its RSS feed, or to get two chances do both. Since the sites are all under construction you might find some irregularities in their design and their function. Some of them still carry links and sidebar content from the current Upstart Blogger theme. Don’t let this put you off. You can still link to them in any way you like, preferably via your blog.

Each person can link to each blog once. If you link multiple times to one blog you will still only be counted once for that blog. If you haven’t got a blog and want to enter then simply subscribe to the relevant RSS feed and add a comment on the relevant blog letting me know.

Each person can potentially enter ten times if they link to all five blogs and subscribe to all five RSS feeds. At the end of May five names will be drawn, one from each of five separate hats, one for each blog, and each one will receive a free iPhone.

The blogs will be revealed one at a time between now and May 15th. Here is a link to the first one, an independent record label I’m currently putting together with two other musicians,

Big Arena Records, an independent record label.

For more specific instructions, and to throw your name in the hat, click that link and follow the instructions.

While your there be sure to check out the podcast. And please remember, Big Arena Records is under heavy construction and is pretty rough around the edges. It works, and the design is pretty much finalized, but it is in pre-launch mode, leading up to the first album release in seven weeks time.

Before I leave you for today I’d like to say a quick thank you to everyone who has recently subscribed to Upstart Blogger via RSS. Today the number of subscribers broke the 800 mark with a subscriber count of 802. Next stop, 1000 subscribers!
