Good morning to you! I thought it would be fun to start off the week with a bang. Well now not literally a bang but you know what I mean. Do you remember my latest makeover giveaway not that long ago? Well it turns out that the winner of the makeover has decided to take a break from blogging so she ended up not doing her makeover.
With that said, It’s makeover giveaway time again! The latest makeover I have worked on was last week when Operation Beautiful received a face lift in anticipation of the “Book” launch that is coming out in August.
Now onto the details
I wanted to create a little more excitement on how to enter into this contest instead of just the traditional – sign up thru RSS. I have come up with a number of ways you can enter into this contest in hope of winning the makeover. The different ways are listed below.
How To Enter:

- Leave a comment listing your “FAVORITE” Olympic sport. (+1 entry)
- Post on your “FACEBOOK” page.
- Tweet about the giveaway and include @zestycook and the link to the giveaway in the tweet. (+1 entry)
- Earn an extra chance to win by linking back to this post on your own blog (if you have one). (+1 entry) (please email me if you link back)
The Rules:
- Please only 1 comment entry / person (please enter a valid email address). Your email will be kept private and never given/sold to third parties.
- The winners will receive 10 hours of Blog Consulting/Design Makeover. ( It usually turns out to be a few more hours but I am more than happy to fulfill the obligation.
So let me know what you think and tell me your favorite Olympic sport in the comments below! A random generator will be used to pick the winner. Contest will end at 5pm EST March 5th, 2010.
Now I hope you have a great start to the week and get really excited about the giveaway. Past makeover giveaways have a been a huge success so I would like to keep the tradition going. I will be keeping tabs and dropping reminder hints over the next week or so to enter but until then have a fantastic Monday.
Take care

Hockey is definitely my favorite! Although curling, while laughable at first, is kind of addicting to watch…
Yesssss, please. Fav = skating.
Do we need to comment for the other entries to count as well?
My favorite olympic sport would probably be men’s ice hockey though I had the urge to write Skeleton here just because it’s the funniest sport ever. I don’t get it. Who wants to throw themselves down a hill made of ice HEAD FIRST??? crazy people.
I’m not a big fan of the Winter Olympics, I much prefer swimming and gymnastics! Thanks for doing another makeover giveaway, I really hope I win
i just adore the olympics! my favorite sport would either be speed skating or figure skating. although ski jumping and ski cross are also awesome. really i love it all! and i would really love a blog makeover!
Oh man! So many favorite sports in the Olympic Winter Games. I’ll have to go with either Short Track Speed Skating or Alpine Skiing!!
My favorite Olympic sport has been the Ski jumping. I think it is cool how fast they go and how far they seem to fly.

My favourite sport to watch is probably figure skating but I’ll watch anything with a little risk and excitement.

I could really use a blog makeover actually, so fingers crossed!

It’s hard to choose a favorite, but I love watching the ski jumps. I would pee my pants if I had to jump like that
I suppose gymnastics in the summer and downhill in the winter–the icy conditions this year made the event extra dramatic!
I definitely don’t have just one favorite Olympic sport – I’m kind of obsessed with them all! Speed skating, moguls and aerial skiing are some cool ones though!
I would love a bloggy makeover!

Short track all the way!
What an amazing giveaway! This is one I could DEFINITELY use! My favorite Olympic sport has changed over the years. It used to be figure skating and gymnastics.

women’s figure skating of course
Favorite Olympic Sport?! Hmm – Winter – it would probably have to be the skating – in particular women’s and men’s – although it’s not like “back in the day” with Michelle Kwan and Kristi Yamaguchi and Elvis Stoyko, etc….if your talking summer – love Track and tennis and gymnastics is up there as well…;)
Wow great prize
My fav sport is ice skating or ice dancing.
Oh, my blog is in desperate need of a makeover!!!

I blogged about your giveaway!

If you are curious, click on my name and share my distress!
Favorite Winter Olympic Sport – Speedskating
Favorite Summer Olympic Sport – Marathon
I love Ice Skating! I would really love to get my blog that I set up established and running!
Oooooo! I need this! I am so ready to take my blog to the next level and would love your help. My favorite Olympic sport is the swimming in the Summer Olympics. I swam all through growing up and high school and love to watch them pull through the pool… it reminds me of that great feeling at early morning practices! Thanks for this chance to make my blog better!
It’s hard picking a favorite Olympic sport. Definitely the marathon, ice skating/speed skating. I spend too much time watching the Olympics when they are on (but whose to say that’s a bad thing?)
wow, I am SO excited about this contest! My favorite Olympic sport is probably gymnastics – hope it’s ok that it’s a summer one
I tweeted at @LCeatslentils

My favourite winter olympic event is the skeleton, known as the tea tray because of the little tiny sledge they travel on
Favorite olympic sprit is gymanastics. I know its not winter, but I love it!
I love skating! Particularly the pairs and ice dancing. However, I have to admit that when I was in Vancouver for the Canada-Russia game and everyone downtown was going nuts, it was pretty hard not to get into the game (and thats saying something, I don’t like hockey at all generally!)
-K
Yeah, I am so happy that you are back up and running! I attempted to leave a comment at the very moment the account was disbaled..boo.
The Winter Olympics are the best, but if I had to pick one sport to be a fav, it would have to be Hockey.
I posted a link on facebook http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?ref=profile&id=100000280830904.
You are also on my blogroll
Thanks for having such a great site (Mine could use the help…I’m a newbee).
Hi Zesty! I just left an email message for you saying that I linked your contest to my blog!
I am a little confused as to how many times we can enter your contest, or else how you want us to do it. You have listed many ways to enter. But you say you only want one comment. So if we do multiple things from your list, should we tell you about each of them in one comment? Or do we just choose one thing and do it and that is the one chance we get to enter? Some entrants have posted more than one comment as entries into your contest. Should I do the same? I’m not sure what the best thing to do is! Maybe I’m just making it more complicated than it needs to be.
But I did link up your giveaway to my blog.
And my favorite winter olympic sport is figure skating.
But hey, regardless, thanks Zesty, for the opportunity! This really is a great contest!
@Valerie – All the listed forms of entry will be counted. You can tweet, enter a comment, add to facebook and link on your blog. If you do that you have four entries! Hope this helps.
zest
I like swimming, gymnastics, and downhill skiing!
My blog would love a little make-over by the infamous Zesty! My fave Olympic sports are hockey & figure skating, but let’s be honest, I love them all.
My favorite Olympic sports are snowboarding and hockey – my friend was actually one of the players in the movie Miracle about the US hockey team!
I don’t have any luck with these kinds of giveaways, so I’m not holding my breath!
.
But I thought this was a good chance for me to tell you how amazing the blogs you work on always look. Just wanted to tell ya
Oh, and just in case I *am* lucky this time: fave Olympic sport is ice skating.
happy Wednesday, Zesty!
I need a makeover so bad
