$75 CSN Stores giveaway – FREE to enter

February 1, 2011 — 153 Comments

CSN Stores has over 200 online stores where you can find anything you need whether it be swingsets, fitness equipment, or even cute cookware!  They have offered to give away a $75 gift certificate from the above link to to one of my blog readers.

Before we get to that though you probably have noticed that a lot has changed around here over the last 24 hours!  I have finally made the switch from Blogger.com to a self-hosted WordPress blog.

I would like to thank Peter Pollock for all his help in this process and John Saddington for providing a killer tutorial on Migrating from Blogger (Blogspot) to WordPress without Losing Any Valuable SEO and Link. This made the process so much smoother!  I still have a few kinks to work out but it is coming along.

Just so you know, you don’t need to do anything new to continue reading this blog. My feed has been changed to the new site and it will continue sending posts to your reader.  Isn’t that great!  If you have me on your blogroll though, could you please update the link to http://kevinmartineau.ca Thanks!

Now back to the giveaway!

I thought it would be awesome to time this giveaway with the launch of my new blog location.  I am so excited! :)   The giveaway is only valid for US and Canada residents only, as they can only ship for free from there.

  1. Looks great, Kevin! I would love to win a swingset or trampoline for my kids. When we moved from our old house we had a nice big one of each. We moved to have space for our church and it was a tremendous blessing, but we had to leave both of those behind. They would be ecstatic to get something like this! Anyway, thanks for doing the giveaway–very cool!

      Thanks Michael!

      What set me over the edge was checking my load times on webmaster tools and seeing that my AVG was 15 seconds. Yowsers! I know I still need to tweak this theme a bit to get a faster load time but it is much improved. :)
