The TechREACTION.net February Blogger Giveaway!

All registered Bloggers have the chance to win free hardware at least once a month forever!

That's right! FREE HARDWARE! Just for being a registered and active blogger of TechREACTION.net.

How do I sign up? Simple, first register at this page to become a TR blogger. Once you receive your account information, half the job is done.

Second, go to the TechREACTION forums and register there as well. You must be registered in both places to be eligible.

Bloggers are given special access to a private forum where they can discuss content and blogs, as well as be notified of available review samples and other perks.

What about the giveaway? It's easy. All you have to do is be yourself; a technology enthusiast. To qualify you must follow these simple rules:

- One blog post equals one submission to the contest.
- Two blog posts equals two submissions, and so on, and so forth.
- In cases where there are multiple prizes, a single blogger will only be able to win one. Prizes are drawn at random.

I have never blogged before, what's the deal? Don't think of it as something only for the elite. Blogging is really no different from posting on a forum, such as this. The difference being that it's more organized, looks more professional to the reader, and puts the information on the front page rather than just buried deep in some thread somewhere.

Many average joe's who simply starting out with some basic blogging are now writing doing full fledged reviews and making a solid name for themselves, and you can too.

I'm interested, but what can I blog about? Everything, as long as it's technology related. Here are some examples:

Just did some benching with a few buddies or by yourself? Blog it.
Bought a new smart phone or mobile device that you can review? Blog it.
Testing out the new version of an operating system? Blog it.
Seeing what better cooling does for your CPU overclock? Blog it.

The list goes on and virtually anything can be blogged as long as it's related to the main subject: Technology.

Giveaways occur once a month, so by registered for this months giveaway you are in fact registering for every giveaway from here on to infinity. Sounds easy enough no?

Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR3 (3x1GB) PC3-10600 and OCZ Gladiator CPU Cooler!

Looking forward to blogging and chatting with you guys. I'm assuming location isn't problem when it comes to the rules for entry? (Not that I live in Antarctica, although slightly less cold than that. lol)

No, definitely not an issue. Welcome and glad to have you here.

You should now have access to the blogger private forum as well.

**crowTrobot** · 02-02-2010, 12:12 PM

Thank you!

I have some products coming in that i'll get to review. I haven't really written or blogged before so this would be a good exercise.

Awesome, cannot wait to see them. Just remember, the blogger discussion forum is there to assist you. If you have any questions about how to use wordpress, tests to run, helpful tips for writing, etc...do not hesitate to ask.

**drizzt5** · 02-02-2010, 06:16 PM

I thought of an idea... again... I just need to do IT!!!! lol this one actually takes some work too.

**EnJoY** · 02-04-2010, 09:13 AM

A handful of new Bloggers registered but no blogs from them yet. What are you waiting for?

**crowTrobot** · 02-07-2010, 12:49 PM

Sorry bout that, my stuff arrived a few days ago and was only able to get some photos in yesterday (shot them in RAW but realized I don't have CS4).

My first one should be up before midnight tonight.
