It seems that our first ever SOTM has been a success! We will open voting with eight participants. If you caught us too late, hang tight because there will be another SOTM next month! Before I open the polls, let me show you the prizes again:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>1st</strong>: 2 Months of Button Advertising &amp; a Winner Graphic &amp; Permanent link on our SOTM page &amp; an Entry into our Semi-Annual SOTM.</li>
<li><strong>2nd</strong>: 1 Month of Button Advertising &amp; a Winner Graphic &amp; Permanent link on our SOTM page</li>
<li><strong>3rd</strong>: 2 Weeks of Button Advertising &amp; a Winner Graphic &amp; Permanent link on our SOTM page</li>
</ul>
<p>Button Advertising here is for a 125 x 125px image, but if you prefer &#8211; 88&#215;31 is fine with me too! Oh and once I get the site&#8217;s page organization in order, there will be a SOTM page that will link to all of the previous winners and what not. Sound fun?</p>
<p>These are the participants for the Month of September!</p>
