Thank you.
I like contest and I’m sure that Icewolf too(previous winner). So, to make it even different this time, I decided to do another contest but for blogs only. You will see that the theme is 200.
The simplest way to enter is to cut and paste the predefined text found below on your blog. See the rules to win more money!
Prizes: The main prize is double until June 30, 2007
3 instant winner of $10CAD/each by being the first 3 to participate. They are eligible to the grand prize only to make more secondary winners.
5 secondary prizes of $10CAD/each(random draw)
1 grand prize winner(random draw) will be rewarded like this for the original portion of the post:
$ 75CAD = Cut and paste with no original text to write
$100CAD = 20-99 words
$125CAD = 100-124 words
$150CAD = 125-149 words
$175CAD = 150-199 words
$200CAD = 200+ words
Total in prizes: up to $280CADContest rules:
To enter the contest for a chance to win:
- Must have a blog.
- Have Paypal account or create one. I suggest the Premier Account for later uses like donations on your blog … 
- Cut and paste the text found below or to win more money
Create a post on your blog with the links below with a small text(20,100 or 200 words excluding the What is the MIS specification and links) on why you want the MIS specification in your electronics devices or software applications and what step you took or will take to make it possible(i.e. email manufacturers, created a video with a .MIS, include a .MIS in your podcast, ask authors to support it…). You may offer specifics(products) or examples(files) if you want.
Note: The real “work” is to write your original text because the rest is just a cut and paste. The more words the review = more money!
Text file for the cut and paste(html code). By clicking on any link, it will open a new window thus readers will still be on your site.

I would like my next electronic device to support the MIS specification. Plus, it cost almost nothing to add but a few hours.
What is the MIS Specification?
In short: A small text file that has tags(200+) for the plot, credit, goofs and even age(parental control). The same text file can be used for a video, audio or image. See the links below for more information or examples.

Edit 2: I announce it on Loquax Competition and see if it helps. Welcome if you came from there!

Hi Steve, how many entries do you have so far? I’m running a contest now also and have that you have to make it easy to enter. I think the problem with yours is that most bloggers have no idea what MIS specs are.

“most bloggers have no idea what MIS specs are.”
That’s is the point. I want people to look into it or ear about it. I know, it’s technical but I gave a brief definition and links to examples of it’s many uses(Movies, Tv Series).
Even then, they only have to cut and paste the predefined text. The “geek” in the family may look into it for them. It’s a educational context of a sort
