Win An Official POTF Sweatshirt

Sometime in the next few days, my little hit counter will reach 30,000 hits. Now, as everybody knows, I detest head counting. However…

One of the things that has brought me great joy is the fact that I’ve gotten to correspond and even meet some of the people who read Putting Out The Fire. Through this blog, I’ve made new friends and they have helped me better understand what it means to be part of the one holy catholic Church, a Church not limited by the distance but bound by a common confession.

With that as the back drop, as a way to thank everyone, I’m gonna have a little contest. The 30,000th visitor to this blog will receive an official Putting Out The Fire sweatshirt with the logo embroidered on it. All you need to do is take a screen shot of the counter and send that to me via email, with the time that you visited the site, as well as your location and I will send you the sweatshirt at no cost to you whatsoever. The only limitation is that the shipping address must be in the United States or Canada.

Sound good? I thought so… good luck!

So how will you know who the 30,000th visitor was?

I'm a bit fuzzy about the rules of this game.

Hi Chris,

The rules for the contest were really just to take a screenshot of the sitemeter as it clicked over 30K. Knowing that sometimes a browser doesn’t always reload, I was watching on the back end just in case two people sent the same screenshot.

Der Bettler over at Hoc Est Verum won the shirt.
