>The blindhow.com contest for a $100 iTunes certificate begins tomorrow 
>March 1, 2012.  Last year The NFB of Utah launched a new website, 
>BlindHow.com. This sight has been up for more than six months during which 
>time we have received over 500 posts with over 160 comments from over 370 
>members. Thank you to each of you that have contributed to BlindHow.com. We 
>have had an extremely successful six plus months and look forward to the 
>continued success in the upcoming months and years. Whether you have 
>submitted content, made comments, asked questions, or even just used the 
>website to obtain information, we thank you.
>
>On March 1, 2012, BlindHow.com will be implementing an exciting incentive 
>program! The purpose? We want you to visit, sign up, test drive, make 
>comments, rank content, and become a contributor by submitting articles, 
>videos and audio files. There are thousands of resources available on the 
>web, but they are scattered and they take valuable time to find and sift 
>through. We encourage you to submit content from the web that you have 
>found enlightening, positive, and/or helpful. We also welcome original 
>articles, videos, or audio tutorials. We want and welcome both!
>
>How the contest works:
>
>This contest will be a drawing, so anyone who participates has a chance to 
>win. Every time you post original content to the website, we enter your 
>name into the drawing 7 times. Every time you post information from another 
>source, we enter your name into the drawing 3 times. Every time you make a 
>comment on someone else's post, we enter your name into the drawing 1 time.
>
>
>
>The contest will go from March 1, 2012 to April 15, 2012. Please email 
><mailto:admin at blindhow.com>admin at blindhow.com to report any content you 
>post or comments you make on BlindHow.com as this will be the only method 
>used to track participation in the contest.
>
>If you haven't visited us, please check out BlindHow.com and see what it is 
>all about. BlindHow.com allows for community members to view and share 
>video, audio, or written tutorials and information on a myriad of topics 
>regarding blindness and visual impairment.
>
>Topics could include things like, "How do you use an iPhone with 
>voiceover?" "This is how I put on makeup every day: how do you?" "How do 
>you mow your lawn?" "This is how I downhill ski."
>
>If you can't find the answer you are looking for, then we want you to ask! 
>If you have something to share, then become a contributor today! We know 
>that there are many different ways to do one thing. For example, I may iron 
>my shirt one way and you another. Knowledge is power and sharing is caring! 
>You can make a difference.
>
>Our primary goal is to create a positive environment where community 
>members are willing to ask thoughtful questions and share knowledge related 
>to blindness and visual impairment that will improve lives, encourage 
>independence, and increase self-confidence.
>
>To all, best of wishes.
>
>Warmest regards,

>The BlindHow Team

>participation.
