I had double the number of entries than I did last December when I ran a similar contest for the release of WordPress 2.7. It could be that more people want assistance, more people are using WordPress or that more people know about and trust me. Maybe it’s my ego talking but I think it’s that more people know about me.
The winner will be notified by email as will as entrants with information about their 10% discount. But I am please to announce that the winner is …
Rick Castellini from Help Me Rick!!!
Congratulations to Rick. And thanks so much to everyone who entered the contest.!!
If you haven’t already upgraded to 2.8, please wait for the release of 2.8.1, which will happen any day (if it hasn’t already). There is a known issue with the auto-upgrade for a number of users and 2.8.1 will correct this problem.
Congrats to the winner! And yah, i think i must agree that more contestants mean more people knowing about your services… So congrats to you too ;)

Thanks Stratos. Rick was very excited when I notified him :-)
Congratulations Rick. It’s great that you had double the number of entries Kim – I agree, that means more people are getting to know about what you do.
Hi Cath – Hopefully next time it will be even better. But I’ve got to come up with a new contest :-)
I like the winner’s blog’s name. (My brain pronounces it like Peter Lorre in Casablanca. “Helllllp me, Reeeek!”)
Hi Rick – lol And yeah – Rick is an awesome name ;-)
Congratulations Rick and Kim!
Tracy´s last blog post – Men’s Pocky
Thanks Tracy!
Congratulations to both of you. On winning and on getting so many entries :)
Manshu´s last blog post – Will you choose sincerity or brilliance?
Hi Manshu – Thanks :-)
Finally, I’m back in digital contact. Had the whole day where I was out of cell range and no Internet. First off, thank you, thank you, thank you Kim!! I am in shock and feel like I won the lottery (at least I hope winning the lottery feels this good). Since meeting you (virtually) and talking with you on the phone once or twice, I have been truly impressed with your customer service and your expertise and am thrilled that you can help me upgrade to the next WordPress version. Thank you, thank you!!
And thanks to all the nice comments from other KW.com visitors. I do hope you come over to my site periodically to find information for yourself or others who ask you simple computer questions.
Wow!! I think I know how Julia Roberts felt when she won Best Actress Oscar…speechless, but could also ramble on for hours!!! THANKS KIM!!!

Hi Rick – I was wondering where you had disappeared to :-)
Congratulations!!
Interesting you chose Julia Roberts and not a male actor ;-)
She was the one I remember most who genuinely seemed surprised and elated to have won an Oscar…plus, she’s Julia Roberts. ha ha

Kim, you deserve the good reputation you’re growing!
Congrats to the winner.

Thanks Jannie,
I really wish I could ignore my emails this week – I can’t keep up with them.
Hey Kim. I wrote this article a few years ago after reading Email Zen. The article is from Zen Habits. I starting using the techniques then wrote my article a few months later (original article link is in my article). It literally changed my email life forever. I still have to work at it, but it works! I hope it helps you.
