Two random drawings for you and you and you and you and you…

It’s lovelinks #40 and I wasn’t gonna make a big deal out of it until I remembered that round numbers should be celebrated with random drawings. Random drawings for a comprehensive blog review and a Turntable Kitchen pairings box filled with original recipes and digital music. Just for you or you or you…

Prize One: Get Bashed

Alexis from Troublesome Tots and Erica M from free fringes have created a new blogging about blogging site called Blogging Bash. Every blog should have its own party, and Blogging Bash is here to throw it. Tips on how to have fun with blogging, how to be a better blogger, how to be more creative in your blogging—it’ll all be there on Blogging Bash. Alexis and I are launching Blogging Bash by offering a blog review with to push one lucky lovelinker toward a better blog.

Covered in the blog bash

[stextbox id=”grey” mode=”css” direction=”ltr” shadow=”true”]the basics such as your blog title, tagline, blog description, SEO, Google page rank and Alexa ranking[/stextbox]

[stextbox id=”grey” mode=”css” direction=”ltr” shadow=”true”]your Internet engagement: Twitter, Facebook, RSS, email and newsletter subscriptions, blog contact forms[/stextbox]

[stextbox id=”grey” mode=”css” direction=”ltr” shadow=”true”]site design and usability: site speed, navigation, content-to-graphics ratio, header, sidebar[/stextbox]

[stextbox id=”grey” mode=”css” direction=”ltr” shadow=”true”]blog content: tone, readability, continuity[/stextbox]

If you know it’s time to move your blog to the next level or you just need a little help with getting your blog just right, link up to this week’s lovelinks, then let me know in comments you wanna be entered into the Blogging Bash random drawing. Comments, comments, comments, not email or Twitter. It’ll be easier for me to keep up with you that way. I have a family funeral today and may not get to Twitter, and I don’t want to lose you in my email box. Link up, leave a comment, let me know.

Prize Two: Turntable Kitchen pairings box

This one will be offered only if we hit 50 lovelinked blogs. Will it be this week? Maybe!

Turntable Kitchen pairs exclusive recipes with vinyl and digital music that complement each other for a cool cooking, dining and listening experience. The first week we get 50 lovelinked blogs (one entry per blogger), I’ll host a random drawing for those lovelinkers to win a pairings box. You must be willing to provide me your U.S. or Canadian mailing address. I got my husband one of the boxes for Christmas, and he loved it. We’re having something called grapefruit mint and halibut ceviche on Super Bowl Sunday. Yum.

What’s in the pairings box?

[stextbox id=”index_card” mode=”css” direction=”ltr” shadow=”true”]A limited-edition, hand-numbered 7-inch vinyl single featuring a pair of tracks by one of  Turntable Kitchen’s favorite artists/bands[/stextbox]

[stextbox id=”index_card” mode=”css” direction=”ltr” shadow=”true”]An exclusive, downloadable Turntable Kitchen-curated digital mixtape packed with some of the most exciting up-and-coming new artists[/stextbox]

[stextbox id=”index_card” mode=”css” direction=”ltr” shadow=”true”]

A collection of three completely original, seasonal, themed recipes for you to try. You won’t be able to find them anywhere else[/stextbox]

[stextbox id=”index_card” mode=”css” direction=”ltr” shadow=”true”]

1-2 premium dried ingredients for you to make 2-4 servings of each dish or drink[/stextbox]

[stextbox id=”index_card” mode=”css” direction=”ltr” shadow=”true”]Suggested pairings, tasting notes and additional insights into the music and food included in the pairings box[/stextbox]

[stextbox id=”index_card” mode=”css” direction=”ltr” shadow=”true”]

Bonus treats like edible goodies, artist recipes, special reviews and extra songs could be in the box. Who knows? You gotta link up and win to find out[/stextbox]

The more who link up, the more fun we’ll have this week, especially if we hit 50. Spread the word, and get your friends in here. Bring back those who haven’t linked up in a while, bring in some lovelinks virgins. No pressure, but make sure they’re all good peoples.

Lovelinks #40 is open.
