You may have heard of Seattle’s gloomy and depressing weather – it’s all very real and true. With the exception of last week’s annual heat wave, Seattle is predominately overcast (nine months to be exact), but three precious months of glorious Pacific Northwest summer is what has kept me in this Emerald City for the past ten years.
That preface is meant to be an excuse for why I’ve kept mum in the blogging world. I’ve also been busy doing some spring cleaning on my blog. Thanks to my lack of coding background, I’ve spent countless hours re-vamping my blog for simple aesthetics and social bookmarking features. Hope you like it.
Excuses aside, I’ve decided to make my comeback post with a chance to win some free stuff from BingTM for their one year celebration. If you’re not too cool for freebies, read on for more details.
Microsoft Advertising is celebrating Bing’s 1st birthday with a bang. If you have an adCenter account, you can enter to win some cool prizes. You can go green with a Bing water bottle or a coffee mug and get some Seattle in your life, too.
100 winners will be random chosen on July 19, 2010 for both US and UK advertisers.
This may be a shameless promotion for my team, but I can’t help it. I like free stuff and birthday celebrations (and you should too). Help Bing celebrate its first birthday and win Bing Bling for your office!

I have been looking around via the internet looking to get some ideas on how to get my personal web site coded, your overall design and design are excellent. Did you actually code it by yourself or did you get a programmer to get it done for you?
This is a fantastic post about advertising.I really enjoyed your post and have subscribed to your feed.
