Are you ready? I mean are you REALLY ready for some serious TMT fun? We know that you are – and we are too!
It’s time to TELL us – I mean REALLY tell us here on Tell Me Thursday for our first ever Tell Me Thursday contest – and it’s a good one. So… are you ready?
Make a video (yes, video) of yourself telling all your friends, neighbors and strangers all about Tell Me Thursday; what you love about it, how you participate, how THEY should participate – whatever you want to say. It needs to be at least 30 seconds long and no more than 4 minutes long and FAMILY FRIENDLY please.
Options for videos:
1. Your Webcam – just turn it on and GO!
2. Make a photo montage and turn it into a video over at animoto
3. Borrow your neighbor or friend’s video recorder for a few minutes
4. Visit a local video recording studio and pay $200 for a recording session (kidding!)
5. Make a slide show over at Slide.com with photos and text telling us and telling your friends about Tell Me Thursday.
Then when your video is perfect, upload that baby to your youtube account (or other video sharing site) and come back here and put the link to that specific video in our Mr. Linky down below. That will be your entry into the contest.
<— GRAND PRIZE
We’ll choose one entry to win:
A FLIP HD MINO Video Camera
SECOND PLACE —>
Winner receives this great 2GB Spy pen with mini camcorder to catch all those great Wordless Wednesday and Tell Me Thursday moments without anyone knowing it! Tee Hee – Just kidding — there’s no second place prize but it’s pretty cool don’t you think?
Ready to play along? Make your video on or before June 15, 2009 and link up here. Spread the word through twitter and on your blog and earn extra entries. (extra entries only count if you also have a video entry already submitted). Just link up to the blog url or twitter status URL where you tweeted the contest link.
Whoo hoo! May the best video win! 
Edited to add: Mr. Linky appears to be having some problems. If you can’t leave your contest link in Mr. Linky, please leave the link to your video in the comments below. Thanks!

We’re back with another episode of Tell Me Thursday but first…
Doesn’t the new blog look GREAT? Chele did a fabulous job updating us and giving us a fresh new look that’s easier to navigate and a whole lot more fun. THANKS CHELE! Please pop by the comments below and let Chele know what a great job she did. Thanks!
Annette had to fly solo this week – tune in to the show to hear why – but she took some time to highlight all the participants from last week (great stuff everyone!). Listen all the way to the end where you’ll hear about our new newsletter sign up. You’ll get a free blogging report for signing up and we’ll let you know anytime we’ve got a new show uploaded or if we find some great tips on blogging or digital photography. Don’t miss out!
Remember when you link up to Mr. Linky that you use the URL for your specific TMT post and not just your main blog URL. That makes it much easier for us and other TMT participatns to find you and comment on your post – and that’s what it’s all about!
Have a great week!

We’re excited to be back visiting your Tell Me Thursdays from the last few weeks and giving away some great awards to YOU for your fabulous stories!!
Take a listen here:
Here are the participants we mentioned on the show:
#1 -Our first award for today goes to our new participant Kat over at Sassy Irish Lassies. She tells a great story for her WW! Make sure you click on the photo to see the detail and read all the way to the end to see why she’s getting the “Your story made us pee our pants” award! Thanks Kat!
#2 – Next up is our friend Melitsa over at Play-Activities.com. Her TMT is a great example of using the ideas that Kelly talked about in the last few shows regarding using memes like Wordless Wednesday and Tell Me Thursday to drive traffic to your business blog and tying the two together. Great job Melitsa!
#3 – Another award is given to our good friend Tishia Lee at Adventures of a Single Wahm. She’s getting our “Nutty Nature” award and when you see her WW photo and read the TMT behind it, you’ll see why! Great story Tishia!
#4 – We want to give a special award to our friend PJ at Real Men Drive Minivans for his consistent participation in TMT. Each and every week he plays along faithfully and lets us know on Twitter – spreading the word to others as well! We appreciate you PJ!
#5 – We visited another new participant, Crunchy Green Mom, who gave us another great example of how to put the lessons that Kelly taught us into action by using affiliate programs to get a little extra cash from your blog posts. Thanks for participating Crunchy!
We hope to have another special guest chatting with us in the upcoming weeks so stay tuned and come back to hear more! We’re excited!!
Don’t forget when you participate – put the link directly to your TMT post for this week so other TMTers can hop right on over and read your story without having to look all over your blog, ‘k? Thanks!
Have a great week!
Chele and Annette
