Lainy’s Musings 3rd Blogoversary – The Gravatar Contest

Displayed below is a slide containing the Gravatars of the Top Commentators (2008 to 2011) at Lainy’s Musings. To stop any of the slide images, please move your mouse cursor directly over the image, thereby enabling you to scrutinize the image. Remove your mouse cursor and the slide will resume progression to the next image frame.

(Incidentally, the original Gravatar image size is enlarged with a minimum amount of pixel distortion possible. This was done to enable a “better” view of the Gravatar image. My apologies that the enlarged image condition couldn’t be made any clearer .

Also, a good measure of time was spent to systematically layout all the requirements and rules and include one-stop features right here at the Contest Page.

If there remain any issue that is not explained clearly enough, please seek clarification with yours truly via the Comment Section here).

• Together with his Contest Answers, the Contestant must include in his submission the following:-
  1. the full URL address (example: http://www.name of the Post page) for the two VIP Sponsors’ Blog Post to denote where he had submitted his Comment.
  2. the full URL address (example: http://www.name of published article) for his short published article about Lainy’s Musings 3rd Blogoversary Gravatar Contest.

  Important Note: Contestants are advised to test and ensure that the URL addresses submitted in their answers, work as perfect links.

• Though not a prerequisite but it may influence in the case of a tie, the contestant is encouraged to register at the VIP Sponsors Blog’s Google Friend Connect or Twitter or Network Blogs.

NO contestant is allowed to display any of the Contest Gravatars at their blog as a new published Post and seek clues and answers from their readers. If you must, you may wish to use Lainy’s Musings Post Archives but asking for clues at your own Blog(s) is tantamount to a disqualification.

Here is the link to Lainy’s Musings Post Archives:-
